Message:: [QUOTE="Jay Kaplan, post: 2566174, member: 83109"]I was also scammed by the same coin seller on E-Bay.  I bought a $20 gold eagle, and received a soft envelope filled with only newspaper.  I filed a complaint to E-Bay under the money back guarantee and was told I needed to file a police report.  I went to the local precinct and was told that this was a civil matter the police couldn't help.  I had an E-Bay high claims rep talk to the police officer directly and the officer explained why it was not a police matter.  The rep advised me to go to a deputies office who would handle the paperwork (I live in a major city).  In the end I have confidence that the problem will be solved although it may take a bit of time.  I might have to go back and get some paperwork from the police which will say nothing but "I saw the envelope and the newspaper"?   Maybe, I ll need to take E-bay to court? I'm a bit perplexed that since at least 4 buyers  bought coins from the seller on the same day all produced the same negative feedback that I must jump through hoops to settle this matter. I suspect that E-Bay is dealing with more frauds than ever before.  If this is the case I can certainly understand their position.   From my side, I suspect that I have made my last coin transaction on E-bay.  [/QUOTE]
