[QUOTE="Bonedigger, post: 109263, member: 4367"]Here is one which ended in a FeedBack standoff at least until the Ebay seller got NARU'd and I had to apply for a refund thru PayPal. This happened 6 or 7 months ago, I'd purchased an Eagle from a seller who traded in them and had been doing so with success for several years. Yes, the price of gold had indeed gone up, but so did the cost of Eagles and other gold coins across the board. Anyhow, after winning the auction and pay immediately JUST like the auction stipulates, actually beating the invoice from the seller, but I can add and always buy the insurance. My wait begins w/o any acknowledgement from the seller of my payment, but this guy dealt gold by the POUND so there was no need to bug them with trivial e-mail. At the two week point I send an e-mail asking the status of the shipment. Seller responds politely asking for particulars so they can check the status. Five days later e-mail sent again asking for the status. Seller e-mails back (almost immediately) that they're sorry but have never sent out the coin, a shipping SNAFU. If I want it now it will be $X more due to the gold price increase. The standoff begins with the end result being the seller getting a new Ebay handle and me a PayPal generated refund. Yesterday, I receive a package postmarked 27 Jan 06 and inside is a 1881 Eagle. One I SHOULD have received a long time ago but didn't. 2 Feb 06, 7:15 AM MST. No e-mail response from the seller or phone call returned from the ones I placed yesterday??? I CAN'T keep this as I've already gotten a PayPal refund and this obviously is a screw-up by the Ebay Company I dealt with a LONG time ago... Quandary Bone[/QUOTE]
