Recent E-bay purchase of a Chi-Woo (What would you do?)

Well i just got this coin, after much personal struggle with the price of $35 which
I found was the least on the bay and free shipping though i have found cheaper
Shipping brings the cost over the above so i went ahead and pulled the trigger
the picture was of a really nice unblemished coin however the one i received
at first glance looked really good but after taking pictures the coin has some flaws that
you could not really notice right away, but stuck out like a sore thumb, some contact
Marks and some ware on the outside rim once you new what to look for.

So, i tried contacting the seller not once, twice, but now four times with no response
all i am looking to do is get a replacement coin but to ignore me over the past week
is unacceptable, coming from a customer service back round ignoring the customer
is a no,no and the number one rule i really dont want to go through the hasell
and expense of returning it, he should have inspected the coin more closely
before shipping it.

Most likely i will probably still keep it even if the seller doesnt come thru with a new
coin but it is a aggravation

I would like your input

almost forgot, here are the pics of the coin

 

If it's a good coin and you want to keep it, I'd say keep it and leave negative, since it's very poor customer service to ignore inquiries.

If you can get a better coin for a better price, then it's time for eBay Buyer Protection, where you'll enjoy a full refund and free return shipping.

 

My input is it sounds like you regret paying 200% spot and that you'll keep it no matter what the seller says (or doesn't say).

It sounds like you are trying to get support from the forum to justify the bad feedback you are going to leave.

 

How bad are the blemishes? Could it have jingled around in a capsule during shipping and caused this? Or are you hyper critical of every mark and used a microscope to find anything wrong

 

I THINK 35.00 IS A CHEAP LESSON .. FOR ME ANYWAYS......... Ebay is a gamble I know I got burnt too.... but have had great transaction also just more communication between me and seller....working things out... but leave feedback to warn others if you think its just.........

 

Just looking for opinions is all, i am still on the fence on what i am going to do
However the seller has not been responsive to the now 5 emails i have sent so
What kind of feedback would you leave ?

 

A little frustrated though, just because he has not responded to any of my communications and there has been several attempts !

 

It's summer; it's possible that the seller has actually been gone for a week. I would give the seller more time to respond before opening a case or bad-mouthing him/her by name.

I don't know what your expectations were for the coin vs. what the seller claimed in the listing. It's not clear to me that the coin is worse than described -- I haven't seen the original listing, nor do I know what you consider to be issues with the coin you received. I'd expect a good seller to try to make the customer happy, but it depends a bit on how the customer comes across, too.

 

There are no vacation notes on his account and the coin showed up in 3 days
so not sure what the problem is ?

 

Or he could just be busy/forgetful. Or a bad seller. Or a jerk.

 

His seller rating is at 99.7 % so i dont want to ding the guy if there has just been a misunderstanding here but for the life of me i dont know what that could be ?
and a negative on your account is "Death" on the bay !

 

Post the initial listing.

And yes most sellers will ignore messages that sound like a buyer is trying to get a discount. There is nothing the seller can say that won't just weaken his position with ebay

 

Not looking for any type of discount to be clear, just looking for a un blemished
coin as shown on the listing, will try and put that up asap

 

The one you pictured really is, it's not perfect but I suspect you didn't pay for perfect either judging from the price. I could change my mind from the initial listing. That said it was 35 dollars most sellers don't want to spend 20 dollars shipping items back and forth over such a small sale

 

The coin pictured is not the one i received. not looking for perfect however there
are many other listings with similar price points, will make my decision after
The 4th of July Holiday.

 

5 emails in 1 week?

I can't imagine being a seller and having to deal with mpcusa.

 

Post the listing and the coin that you were sent. No one can give you an opinion without seeing and comparing

 

the seller: ag47metals

i tried to copy the link but you can look for yourself, just looked at his rating and guess what i am not the only one he has done this to, his last rating was a negative
For the same reason.

 

And yes, i will send a sixth if necessary what ever it takes ! and if he does not respond to that one we will take it from there.
