<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dennis68, post: 1383413, member: 33700&quot;]I would like to share the following with you,some will like it,others will think that i&#039;m a jerk with too much time on his hands...</p><p>While searching the bay,I came across a seller (toyotaman512) who was selling some gold and silver plated &quot;coins&quot; and was trying to pass them off as real.He did everything he could in the wording of his listings and descriptions to imply that they were real gold and silver including lying about the composition and even markings on the coins.I sent him several messages telling him that these coins were fake and that he should change his listings,but never even got a response from him.So i went ahead and bought one of his &quot;coins&quot;.When I recieved it,I contacted him again,told him that he had sold me what was supposed to be a gold coin,and when I had it checked out,it was fake.His response-&quot;what color is it?&quot; followed by several very nasty messages wich included name calling and plenty of profanity.Then he offers to let me return the coin.My response was to ask him about return shipping costs. I argued that I should not have to lose $5 or $6 to return the item,its not like I was simply unhappy with it once in hand,the fact was that his listings were fraudulent.After some more nasty messages from him,I opened a case against him.Ebays response was the same as his-return the item for a refund with me paying for return shipping.I refused,and escalated the case explaining once more about his deceptive listing practices.Two days later I got a response from ebay,they issued me a full refund,and i don&#039;t even have to return his crappy &quot;coin&quot;! I checked this morning,and all of this sellers listings have been removed! GO EBAY! I can only hope that by me doing this,I have prevented some newbie collector,or some uninformed gift giver from getting ripped off.And I have proven-at least to myself that Ebay has my back as a buyer,and will not tolerate deceptive sellers. I encourage anyone who spots similar actions to do the same as I did,and maby we can rid Ebay of sellers like this who prey on uninformed buyers and give this great hobby a bad name.--Dennis[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
