<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2402277, member: 36230"]And there you go..... notice how you made no mention of ebay or filing a claim; that's key here, and as of yet we don't know how this story ends. We don't know if, when (if?) the carrier actually confronts the recipient, he/she will get the same story as Markus (as he just informed us) did, or if maybe, just maybe, the package will magically appear when questioned. If the guy has any experience with selling coins or the like, he's probably well aware of the lowlife faction regretably involved in this hobby, and is understandably skeptical because of it. I don't recall if Markus said proof is or even could be available to him at this time, so what would you, as an ebay seller, think? Even if said proof cannot be provided, would you not at least want all options exhausted, which is "good business", before considering a refund? </p><p><br /></p><p>We simply don't know what the outcome will be, and again, because all avenues have yet to be explored, there is absolutely no reason to involve ebay even if the seller shouldered any blame. The guy may very well be willing to eat the entire loss himself - we don't know - but no one can reasonably and rightfully expect him to volunteer it at this point or to do so based solely upon an unknown's word.
