<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 2518578, member: 13307&quot;]What would I do?</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, for starters, I probably would have paid attention to what I was selling.</p><p><br /></p><p>And what I <i>would</i> do makes no real difference.&nbsp; Because it wasn&#039;t me who actually <i>did</i> something sketchy.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The important points here are:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Sellers/dealers should know what they are doing.&nbsp; If they fail to educate themselves on their inventory, or fail to pay attention to running their own business, that is not the responsibility of the buyer.&nbsp; But putting an item up for an online auction that is supposed to be a legally binding contract and then pulling the item because you figured out (too late) that you made a huge mistake...IMO that is shifting the responsibility for knowing the product to the buyer, and if the buyer happens to uncover an expensive item, the seller can just say &quot;Sorry Charlie, nothing you can do about it.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This seller has a documented history of doing this exact type of shenanigan...and getting away with it.&nbsp; He cheats someone out of a coin that is more valuable than what they paid, then bans them from his auctions.</p><p><br /></p><p>2) eBay will only enforce their &quot;rules&quot; or &quot;policies&quot; on the little guys.&nbsp; Golden rule - whoever has the gold, rules.&nbsp; We&#039;ve seen numerous examples of counterfeits being sold by volume sellers in China that are not properly described or stamped COPY - and those sellers still find ways to get those counterfeits right back on eBay (if they are even removed in the first place.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, am I still bent out of shape about this?&nbsp; No.&nbsp; There is literally nothing that ruminating over this deal gone wrong that will help me, just like there was nothing I could do at the time to get the coin that should rightfully be mine.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, what would I do if I ever came face to face with this guy at a show?&nbsp; That&#039;s an interesting question... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
