<p>[QUOTE="ValiantKnight, post: 8034264, member: 44210"]Long story short. Byzantine coin I won from a European auction never arrived and is considered lost, and seller agreed to refund me. I paid with PayPal, so I assumed I’d get the refund through PayPal as well, but they informed me that they use PayPal to receive money not send, and for me to send them my IBAN number. This sounds weird to me because I figure if you are using a PayPal account to accept payments then surely you’d be allowed to refund them (IIRC there is an option to do this when you look at a payment in your account). Also, a quick Google search informed me that banks here in the US do not have IBAN numbers for accounts. Is this correct (I’m still relatively new to non-eBay auctions)? So if the seller won’t refund through PayPal and I have no IBAN number what other option(s) are there? And if I feel like I have to take this up with PayPal, would they be able to help me out? </p><p><br /></p><p>And to keep things legal, feel free to share any Byzantine coins you want.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><u>Justinian I</u>, Byzantine Empire</b></p><p>AE follis</p><p><b>Obv</b>: D N IVSTINI-ANVS P P AVG, diademed, helmeted, cuirassed bust facing, holding globus cruciger and shield, cross to right</p><p><b>Rev</b>.
