<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 1253382, member: 25270&quot;]I buy probably 30-40 coins a month on eBay, at the moment mostly foreign, and I also sell a few doubles, maybe 5-10 per month if I&#039;m lucky. In the last month, I&#039;ve had an unusual run of bad luck. One day this week I received two packages where the coins were not as described. One had a coin that was sold as a 1989 British 50 pence but was actually a 1982. Another was supposed to be three Mexican 10 centavos, 1978, 77 and 80, of which I needed the 1980, but the package I got was three 1979s (and yes, the auction stated &quot;the coins pictured are what you will receive.&quot; Earlier I bought a 1931 British farthing I needed on the Webstore site, and after two months in which the seller told me twice he was going to ship it in the next few days, he just stopped answering my messages, so I filed a Paypal claim and they told me they couldn&#039;t do anything, and Webstore has no claims resolution service. Then today I received an envelope that was supposed to contain a Mexican 10 pesos coin and a 1 peso, but instead it was totally empty with a hole in the corner. I purchased a Swiss 5 franc, which should have been silver, and instead received a Swiss 5 rappen, which is not. </p><p><br /></p><p>The 50 pence guy gave me a partial refund, the 10 centavo guy said he is sending the correct coins, the 5 franc person gave me a refund, the farthing guy never did respond or give me a refund, and the empty envelope thing just happened 30 minutes ago. Nothing profound here, just wanted to vent on my unusual run of bad luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
