Message:: [QUOTE="Cherd, post: 22383398, member: 24754"]I purchased a PCGS graded coin on Ebay a few years back ($500ish) and, even though the tracking system said that the package had been delivered to my mailbox, I hadn't actually received the package. I was living in an apartment building at the time and mail being put in the wrong mailboxes was a common occurrence. After a few weeks, I contacted the seller and Ebay about the situation. It seemed that the seller was protected from Ebay's perspective (seems right to me), as they had me file a stolen item report with the FBI and Ebay covered the cost of my refund. It got even crazier because a few weeks after getting the refund (month+ since shipment), I came home from work one day and the unopened coin package had been slipped under my door. I contacted Ebay to explain what had happened and to give the money back, but they said, "Once a refund has been issued, it cannot be taken back. It only happens once though, so this is your one time." All that to say, if Ebay is taking the sale money back from you over this, then that goes against what I've experienced in these types of situations. Per what I thought was their policy, it seems as though they should cover the cost. However, I'm sure a high grade 09S VDB was a lot more than $500.... maybe that makes a difference.[/QUOTE]
