<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 4591610, member: 27832&quot;]I had a case where I bought a one-ounce gold coin, the seller said they shipped, they provided a tracking number -- and I watched through that tracking number as the package moved from its origin address in California, through another facility in California, and eventually to its destination, also in California, marked as &quot;delivered&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m in North Carolina. I opened a case, and got my money back promptly.</p><p><br /></p><p>More recently, I &quot;bought&quot; two graded pre-1933 US gold coins, watched the tracking, and received an envelope filled with newspaper and nothing else. This time, eBay required me to <i>report it to my <b>local</b> police</i> (what would THEY have to do with mail fraud, perpetrated by someone on the other side of the country?), and send in a copy of the police report. I still got the refund, but the prospect of having to go through <i>that</i> again had a profound chilling effect on my willingness to buy high-value commodity stuff through eBay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
