<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bkprewitt, post: 1503253, member: 33172&quot;]Again, maybe I shouldn&#039;t have bought, I don&#039;t see why I should bear any expense beyond my annoyance and hassle in fixing the problem.&nbsp; I&#039;m not the one that set out to defraud.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the fact that the seller never specifically stated that the coins pictured were not for sale, that&#039;s not a valid defense.&nbsp; First off, according to eBay policy, sellers &quot;can&#039;t include pictures that don&#039;t accurately represent the item for sale&quot; and are &quot;not allowed to include conflicting or misleading product information in a listing.&quot; (See Selling Practices Policy at <a href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/selling-practices.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/selling-practices.html" rel="nofollow">http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/selling-practices.html</a>).&nbsp; The seller here violated both of those policies.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second, there is no other reason to include a picture in a listing of a coin for sale except as to show the condition of the coin being sold.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thus, in line with eBay policies and the dictates of common sense, the pictures a seller includes are part of the listing and part of the product description.&nbsp; If one includes pictures of high grade coins, then those same high grade coins are what he/she is representing is for sale.&nbsp; Here, the seller did not deliver what was described, plain and simple.&nbsp; If the seller wishes to use stock images but sell a coin not specifically pictured, it is up to the seller to explicitly disclaim that the picture is that of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think I was entitled to rely on the pictures in the listing despite the reg flags in the listing.&nbsp; Typos alone aren&#039;t enough to poo-poo a listing, and I know I&#039;ve listed items myself with innocuous typos.</p><p><br /></p><p>All I can say is that the seller is lucky he/she is not in Texas, or I would have really laid down some retribution, and soaked them for 3x the value of the coins actually pictured plus attorney&#039;s fees under Texas&#039; consumer protection laws.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe I&#039;m putting in too much of my time over $13, but it&#039;s the principle of the matter, and I feel I owe it to the hobby to keep people like this moral-less, unapologetic, scamming [insert appropriate expletive here] far, far away from eBay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
