[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 3878008, member: 59677"]OK - I bid on two low grade 1883 w/ CENTS Liberty V Nickel and won both - an FR2 and an AG3 and my total bid with s/h was under $10... I paid and the transaction was almost immediately refunded with a note that PayPal was compromised. Checked the feedback and, well, as expected [ATTACH=full]1024475[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1024476[/ATTACH] and a bunch like this: [ATTACH=full]1024477[/ATTACH] He did contact me and sent a PayPal money request. I ignored it for the week and finally tossed a coin, and paid on Friday. The coins arrived Saturday - even from Port Neches, TX to DFW the package had to be in the mail before I paid. The return address on the package traces back to what looks like a legit small real estate investment business. I ticked the "for goods" box on PayPal for my protection, so all he's really done is beat fleaBay out of their 10% FVF, which is about 90 cents... My Q is what's the scam within the scam. Or is he just telling the truth??? Am I just that cynical? The fleaBay seller was [URL='http://www.ebay.com/usr/jayba-1995?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2754']jayba-1995[/URL] and he's gone.[/QUOTE]
