<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2715407, member: 19463"]I had two occurrences of VCoins sellers failing to deliver a PayPal paid-for coin listed on their site in 2016. It seems a common practice to list every coin you have on VCoins, eBay and take them to shows figuring you can cancel the sale on the first two if the coin sells on the third. We used to phone to reserve coins and sent a check only if the seller said it was available. Now we buy electronically and pay by PayPal hoping the seller will notice we bought the coin before he sells it to someone else. When I buy and pay for an item, I don't show them on CT because I don't want to jinx delivery. The Post Office lost one from e Bay-Europe in 2016 and another dealer sent me a coin other than the one ordered and paid for so you never saw four coins I thought I was getting. Don't blame eBay. Other venues have problems, too. This is more common these days but it has always happened. I once bought a coin over the phone and sent a check when told it was mine. In a couple days I got a call apologizing that they had double sold the coin so they sent my check back. I ended up getting the coin after all because the other buyer instructed them to let me have it. I sent the check back.
