Seller burned on coin sale - Paypal reversed the funds!

I had a buyer purchase a gold coin from me for $362. The funds were released
and I sent the merchandise. Then his bank REVERSED the funds. When I
researched the matter, Paypal said that they automatically open an inquiry
when this happens. Well, they didn't in this case. I called customer service
and they said that they would open an inquiry and I would get an email in 24
hours - it's been 48. It is IMPOSSIBLE to access any kind of ebay help. The
"cusotmer service" is just a webpage with pre-set questions that lead me
around in a circle. When I try to select the option for "buyer did not pay"
I automatically get a message that a "refund was offered to the buyer." I am
out of my coin and out of the money. I've been on Ebay for over 12 years and
am earnestly trying to find another selling platform for my business. Ruby
Lane - here I come! And I will only take certified checks or money orders.

I have another ebay account since 1999

http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=pinkladie1

My husband said I should open another ebay account for the coins because
people might
not buy coins from a Barbie seller.

Fair enough, but the folks around here are quite wary of buying coins from a
7-feedback seller, especially one whose first post to the group consists of
an angry rant. We are also wary of crossposted material, so it's best to
limit your broadcast to only one group.

P.S. I and several others prefer bottom-posting to top-posting.

I think that the topic of whether or not a well-established specialty
seller should continue to use the same ebay "handle" if they chance to
get something out-of-their-area of expertise would be an interesting
discussion.

I think I would keep my same ebay ID and offer a short explaination of
how I came to be handling the odd item(s).

I might also disclose something about whether or not I had any greater
or lesser ability to describe the condition of the non-specialty items
I am selling, and I might say something about how many of these
"oddball" items I will be listing in the near future.

If I were a buyer looking at such auctions, a long and lengthy
positive history associated with the seller's ID would tend to be
reassuring about their past dealings, even if the item was unusual for
that seller.

That's cause you open your tape storage box and
read the album titles at a glance. None of that
6 pt font dark gray on light black text. Just big,
bold letters that said

And there were only two knobs on the player!

Time to contact the authorities at the buyer's location. Keeping that coin
constitutes grand theft and possibly wire fraud. If you sent it by mail then
it's possibly mail fraud.

I contacted the seller for this auction and asked if they had
posted this message. While she did state that the guy had "totally
ripped" her, she denied posting it to rec.collecting.coins.

This isn't the first time that a post complaining about eBay
policies here has been posted from a non-verifiable user, and
I doubt it'll be the last.

What jumped out at me about the wording was that the person confessed
to not knowing much about coins, and then goes into a pretty detailed
explaination of the coin, along with wording that only someone who
collects coins would write or care about. It bought a similar coin
from someone who had low feedback but it was all positive so I took a
chance. On the otherhand, I bought a coin from a supposed "expert" who
said it was under-graded. If I see a coin slabbed, with a grade
attached, I usually dont make the effort to see the large picture. It
turned out NGC also said it was "corroded and cleaned". I'd have never
had bid on it at the price I did. In fact, I wouldn't even have
purchased it. My bad. Lesson learned.

Again, if the buyer put a stop on it, you need to file a cross
complaint and demand the coin be returned. And call the cops in their
town. Regardless of what you did or didn't do, if you sold an
authentic gold coin like that, he has to return it. I'd get tough and
forget using a new name on Ebay. You should have stuck to your old
one. Open a case, and email him (since through PayPal, you have his
real web address, kindly ask him to return it. You pay the shipping
and demand tracking and insurance and chalk it up to a lesson learned.
I did. You can't "buy" a coin, reverse the transaction and expect to
keep it. Get it back and resell under your normal user name. Mistakes
can be made, no matter how long you have been using Ebay. I started
using it months after it was launced. And have been burned a couple of
time. Coins are much easier to fake than Barbie dolls. I actually
bought one once on Ebay (long story)

And call the local waffle cops.

LOL..ya..you'll get about as much traction.....I won't buy a coin on
Ebay unless their is a tracking number. Just saying "the guy" ripped
me off isn't going to do it..but in my experience, both Ebay and
Paypal take the side of the purchaser rather than the seller, although
the fee's received from selling is what keeps them in business. I
suppose I could have put up a fuss with the cleaned/corroded coin, and
I would have received my money back. He DID offer to take it back but
the trouble of going to the post office and tracking, and paying for
shipment just wasn't worth it..

Ebay needs to make at least a tracking number a requirement. It cost
all of 75 cents to track it. Considering some sellers charge $5 for
shipping and "handling"...I myself now make it a requirement before I
bid on a coin. They've also made it harder to contact either a buyer
or seller, if no one has noticed.

Honest officer...I didn't sent him a rock with tracking.
I swear on my ANA, Congressionally chartered magazine subscription
that when the box left here, it contained a coin that I claim
is worth mucho bucks. Honest!

and coin dealers are not permitted to post in alt.marketing.online.ebay,

Please also include a list of children over the
age of 4 that do not regularly refer to their
parents as "my fucking parents".

Plus a list of -
1) All the children whose lives
have been ruined by reading the
word "fuck" on AMOE

2) All the children whose lives
have been ruined by being children
of coin dealers

Surely the latter will outweigh the former.

In return, I'll gladly post a list of all the
public places that I butt fucked Helen Wallace.

Seems only fuckin' fair.

I love you -

The one where we were on the National Mall and you singing Three Coins
In The Fountain at the top of your lungs during it while I threw the
coins from the Waffle House gig in the Reflecting Pool was hilarious.
