<p>[QUOTE=&quot;aubade21, post: 2142523, member: 44104&quot;]...Update...</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, after exposing the fact that I know this sellers game and what he did was a deliberate scam AND that I know where he stole the picture from to advertise his coin, he has changed tactics. I could post the whole email I got today (keep in mind, this is after he called me a crook, and said that I swapped coins on him etc. etc.) but here is the essence:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;After looking over the messages you sent me and checking with a magnified glass, I realized that I put the wrong picture in auction.&quot; He goes on to say that he&#039;s old (age 65), and that he inadvertently sent me the wrong coin. In fact, the picture that he got from the website was just intended to be an example of the kind of coin that was in the auction, not the actual coin, and that he accidentally swapped pictures. He concludes by saying that he hopes I can understand the mistake, and he will refund my money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, here is my conundrum. My objective has been accomplished; I will recoup my money. However, this guy was pretty unpleasant AND I don&#039;t necessarily buy his story. I don&#039;t think that he accidentally put a random picture from the internet on his auction. I believe it was deliberate and intended to defraud. My guess is that (from his point of view) a buyer might be intimidated, or feel like it is just not worth the hassle to fight for their money back. Either that, or he figures he can gamble and hope ebay falls for his cock and bull story and award him the money. For a guy that doesn&#039;t use ebay all that much, there is not a lot of risk for him.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, at this point, I can just send him back the coin and be done with it (not involved ebay), or I can try to push it, and see if I can get more severe penalties against him. I&#039;m not the type of guy to &quot;go after people,&quot; but when you get called a few choice names, told that you are &quot;the reason why sellers hate using ebay,&quot; along with a few other attacks on my character, it makes me want to make sure this guy does not do the same thing to another buyer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
