Message:: [QUOTE="jackool, post: 1338257, member: 35214"]Mate, I must say that I for one do disagree... In my personal opinion, if a buyer buys a coin and thinks it is a variety or graded lower than it should be, whilst the seller has described it correctly, and then the buyer gets said coin and realises that they themselves were wrong, why should the seller have to refund the money for the buyers mistake and poor judgement? I think that once the deal is done, and the item was/is accuretly described, the buyer should suck up his/her own mistake, it's not the sellers fault. The buyer should then sell the coin themselves or keep it as a reminder to never assume too much!. It really is rubbish that paypals buyer protection protects everyone but the seller. I think it is ludicrus that people would do this kind of thing with intent. Once, I brought a 1920 London penny that I stupidly thought was an unbelieveably rare variety (dot above lower scroll) and payed 5 times the going cost of what the coin actually was described as (a dot below lower scroll). But it was described accuretly as a dot below. So morally, I had no leg to stand on. So I sucked it up and held onto the coin, infact I still have it now. Not once for even a second did I think about forcing a refund for my own poor judgement. That would be extremely unethical.If the coin/note/anything is described correctly then there should be no reason to ask for a refund, unless it comes in damaged or what-not. But if someone wants to be a twat and do something like that, they are completely unethical in my book. I would block any buyer that did that to me, within a heartbeat. Also, if there are good pictures in the description, it is not sight unseen. Because you just couldn't guess it would be a grade or two higher if you had not seen the coin in the pictures. Just my opinion, take it for what it is. :smile - Simon[/QUOTE]
