<p>[QUOTE="CoinGal07, post: 253038, member: 8843"]I agree ~ very valuable information. It's too bad that many people don't know this type forum exists 'here' for help & information on coins. I posted the seller as a fraud too and have yet to receive any response or feedback from Ebay so obviously even the 'canned' responses are lagging. Thanks for sharing Clembo. </p><p> </p><p>For anyone reading this now that did not read the earlier thread, I'll repeat my 'lesson learned advice' ~ always pay w/credit card via paypal, not your direct bank account and never money order. Your credit card is still safe and as they are paid by YOU not the EBAY SELLER .. you have someone in your corner to get your money back. Paypal offers protection but is just as lagging and confusing as Ebay is resolving disputes. </p><p> </p><p>And no, this wasn't a 'I thought I was buying an 1865 Washington Silver Dollar' type fraud ~ this was a legitimate coin registered by PCGS that the seller pulled a bait/switch after selling, etc. No help from Ebay OR Paypal. Even when the seller abused me in writing, threatened me, and used profanity Ebay and Paypal did nothing but send these canned responses. </p><p> </p><p>So their response to buyer complaints is auto respond & rake in their percentage.
