<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2001353, member: 66"]It is returned to the seller and they try to charge them for the insufficient postage. Happened to me. I purchased an item (not coins) and it was a heavy item. I paid for the item and $20 for postage. They put simple first class postage and delivery confirmation on it and dumped it in a mailbox. It arrived postage due for $20. I refused delivery and they sent it back where is just sat in his post office waiting for him to come pick it up and pay the postage. He never did. So he got the money for the item, and the $20 postage. The Post office got the item (Which will eventually be sold as abandoned property.) And I got stiffed because ebay considered it to be delivered and closed my case against the seller. I wasn't even allowed to post feedback. I tried and ebay removed it because the case had gone against me.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes it works, that's an old scam.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another similar one from back when I was a child, and long distance phone calls were expensive. When you would go home from somewhere they would want you to call when you got home to make sure you arrived safe. So you would call them collect.
