<p>[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 393475, member: 12965"]<font face="Arial"><font size="2">Howdy fellow coin peeps, :thumb:</font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="2">A few weeks ago, I made a claim with PayPal over that counterfeit $20 Liberty I posted earlier. I contacted the seller and offered to keep it for a reduction in price but since they never responded after 3 attempts to contact them, I filed a dispute. After a couple of weeks, the seller finally requested I send the item back for a full refund, so I did. The item is currently sitting in Customs (Italy) and they may have problems delivering it since PayPal eliminates line breaks in messages and I had to try and figure out how to write the address, since their address structure is different than in the US.</font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="2">Today, I received an email from PayPal (dated 11:25 AM the 4th) requesting I fax them proof I mailed the item and that I must do so by the 6th. WTF? Today is the 4th of July and the 6th is Sunday. What would have happened if I was out of town for the entire 4th holiday, to return Sunday evening? I would have been SOL and that isn't right! In the US, there are lawful requirements to give peeps so many days to comply with certain "orders" but those requirements require those days to be working days and not to include holidays or weekends, unless it's something like 30 days, which can include holidays & weekends but if the deadline falls on either, the deadline becomes the first working day afterwards.</font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="2">I have had so many problems with PayPal, I am getting very perturbed at them. They constantly work against the buyer in a case like this and their protection policy isn't worth the paper it's written on! So while they do a good job on items not received, they are pathetic when it comes to receiving something not as described and if it isn't an Ebay item, forget getting your money back.</font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="2">I thought I'd post this as a warning to other members. Do not buy something thinking that if it's fake, it's easy to get your money back, it isn't! :goof:</font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="2">Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></font></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
