<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismania, post: 1924609, member: 28971&quot;]They will ALWAYS side with the buyer, as long as it can be proven the seller did NOT follow the seller rules to a &#039;T&#039;, and I mean a CAPITAL &#039;T&#039;, so it&#039;s best to just say &#039;Sure, send it back no problem, no questions asked&#039;.&nbsp; Ebay is 99.9% pro-buyer (Heaven forbid a buyer has one bad experience....they&#039;d HATE to lose business if that one buyer won&#039;t use ebay again, and they do think that way).&nbsp; This is why the buyer is just about ALWAYS right.&nbsp; I&#039;ve heard of people getting items, and claiming &#039;never received&#039;, and the seller always eats the loss.&nbsp; A few years back, like 2 years, someone I know (have lost respect for him for this), got a $10 Indian, PCGS MS62, obviously over $250, making signature confirm necessary.&nbsp; It was sent DEL confirm, only, but insured, and tracking available, Priority mail.&nbsp; This person contacted to the seller, told them that even though it showed &#039;delivered&#039;, he never got the coin.&nbsp; Seller asked him to check with the P.O. and neighbors.&nbsp; A day later, not needing to check anywhere, just biding his time, this person (not on any coin forums, and now, not a very good friend, due to my disappointment he&#039;d actually do this, but his reasoning was &#039;It&#039;ll teach them a lesson&#039;...nice guy, huh?), well, he filed a claim, and the seller gave the option of refund or replacement.&nbsp; Naturally, he took the replacement (2 $10 Indians, PCGS graded MS62, for the price of one???...a &#039;no brainer&#039; for him).&nbsp; So, the seller is out one coin at gratis, a &#039;black mark&#039; against him, and this guy hammered him on the DSR&#039;s (again, &#039;to teach him a lesson&#039;).&nbsp; Ebay was SO &#039;pro-buyer&#039;, the seller really didn&#039;t have a leg to stand on, due to not following the ebay/PP rule of sig confirm on $250 and over.&nbsp; When selling, you MUST follow the rules to a &#039;T&#039;, or you leave yourself open to taking a loss, and getting hammered in FB/DSR&#039;s.&nbsp; It&#039;s unfortunate there are people that do this, but &#039;smart&#039; buyers WILL do this type of thing ANY chance they get...and they look for it on everything they order.&nbsp; Sad thing is, ebay WILL side with them ALL the time if you vary from their rules even the SLIGHTEST bit.&nbsp; If you sell, you had better know the exact procedures for each item.&nbsp; As an aside, I get items that SHOULD have sig confirms, or needing tracking, and they don&#039;t.&nbsp; As long as I get what I purchased, I would NEVER be as underhanded as this person I know, though I would leave pos FB, as I DID receive the coin, but I WILL ding the seller on DSR&#039;s....never will I leave a 1, but I will go to a 3 in extreme cases.&nbsp; &quot;Ebay, where buyers are welcomed/treated like kings, and can&#039;t ever be wrong.&nbsp; Ebay, where sellers are welcomed, but you better follow our rules to a &#039;T&#039;, lest evil befall you.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
