[QUOTE="davidh, post: 2164038, member: 15062"]I listed a $20 Double Eagle on ebay. The coin had issues like many dings and scratches.

I listed it under auctions as raw and ungraded and put a price on it at 6% over gold spot with free shipping. I didn't list any restrictions on who could bid. On the last day of the auction I got a bid at the listed amount. There were no other bidders so the sole bidder won the coin. I didn't get immediate payment so, after one day I sent an invoice. One day later I got an email from paypal that the winner had transferred money to my account for payment. Now the problem. The payment went directly to my email at paypal, not through ebay (red flag #1). The payment was $50 greater than the winning bid (red flag #2). The winning bidder lives in Japan (red flag #3).
