<p>[QUOTE="z4298, post: 1759560, member: 45225"]I received an altered coin (removed mint mark) off eBay last year. Ebay was quick to refund my money but refused to punish this seller. I sent the seller the coin using the pre-paid sticker provided to me by eBay. The seller had moved so the USPS forwarded the coin from NJ to CA where it was refused and returned to me. A few months went by and I received a request from the seller to return the coin along with an envelope containing his correct address with no stamp. To make a long story short, I contacted the Postal Authorities, My states AG office and the Secret Service and a few other agencies. They found the seller at the address he provided to me and he was charged with 7 felonies and he faced a minimum of 7-10 years but he took a plea for 3-5. I wouldn't have pressed the issue after eBay reimbursed me but since eBay wasn't going to prosecute him and he had my contact info, I feel better knowing he's now off eBay. I hope he enjoys the food and the sex![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
