Message:: [QUOTE="non_cents, post: 1777477, member: 30970"]Hi folks, Here is an odd ebay situation I encountered. On june 10th (or 11th...can't quite remember) of this year, I made a coin-related purchase from a US ebay seller. Everything seemed to go smooth, they provided me with tracking info, etc, etc. About a week later I checked the progress of the tracking info and it said something like "in sorting facility in (location)". I thought, OK, maybe the tracking info hasn't been updated yet. I check back the following week and it says the same thing. A little annoyed, but maybe it's just really slow. Check back the next week, same message. At this point I contact the seller and alert them to the situation. They are hesitant to give a refund as the package may just be VERY delayed and end up showing up, so they say if it hasn't updated by the next week, they will give me my money back. The next week rolls around, no updated tracking. Refund issued (it wasn't a large amount, about $12.50 or so) and I forget all about it. Fast forward to today, and I get a package in the mail. Curious, seeing as how I hadn't ordered anything recently. I open it up, and THERE ARE THE COINS! Nearly 3 months later they finally get to me. One of the first things I do is shoot the seller a friendly email saying what a surprise, the coins have actually made it to me. But then it got me thinking...since the coins have finally arrived, do I owe the seller any money that he issued from the refund? Granted, I had NO IDEA that the coins would actually show up. I thought they were lost forever. But now that they have made it to me, I feel kinda funny, like I "took" the coins for free. Is there something I should do in this situation? What would YOU do? Thanks, Simon[/QUOTE]
