BTW that "somebody else" may have been an HONEST bidder who was fighting with you to buy the coin that you "nuked" because you decided that the auction/coin DID NOT SUIT YOU! Perhaps it may have been better not to bid on a coin you couldn't see because of the poor image.
Whose to say the other bidder would have kept the coin? They may have realized they overpaid as well and returned the coin since the seller accepts returns. We will never know.
Note that I agree with you. That's why I used the words "MAY HAVE." We'll never know about that bidder's intentions as he did not reveal them here.
Anyway, I can't image anything more to add to this thread as everyone except me is posting in English .
I do lots of things in the coin world. In my mind I try to act responsibly and fairly, but I'm aware others might not always agree. That's just how people work. More and more I find myself hesitant to post the details here. You never know how things will be taken. "Wow, you ripped it. Congrats!!!" or "How do you sleep at night doing stuff like this?" Even something that seems totally legit can go off the rails.
I see both sides in this case. As the seller, this scenario would bug me a little, but I'd almost be expecting a return after a bigger-than-expected sale price. I try to be very up-front about potential issues and provide quality photos with more than one photo technique. This seller didn't, and the OP took a chance. How could that possibly go wrong? To me, the moral of the story is to:
understand that nuke bids can cause problems
not spend money "earned" from a sale until it's totally final (both sides agree that the transaction is favorable)
understand that eBay isn't really an auction site any more
understand that we don't all see things the same way
understand that posting the details of a transaction gone sideways here will provoke responses from multiple different directions.
I've never returned a coin on ebay. I've been disappointed, but not to the point where I felt compelled to get my money back. However, I wasn't into any coin I was disappointed with for $700. The last coin I thought about returning was an 1836 Large Cent, F details, nice color, but a staple scratch on the rim that was in a shadow due to the camera angle. I keep it as a reminder of how cappy some ebay dealers can be.... and for $35 it's cheap tuition.

returns hurt your seller ratings, I am on the side of the seller, returns are time consuming and costly for the seller, you wasted someone's time and money because you over bid on something and wanted a easy way out

So now you're a mind reader and telling a public forum the Seller is using nefarious methods to sell his coins.
LOL on the title change...ducking for cover?
Three different names for this thread. Is that a record?

I wonder if Morgans can be AT'd in the GSA holder.
Ask The OP to change the title again to: "I wonder if Morgans can be AT'd in the GSA holder." LOL.

I once sent a seller some extra money when a (paper)roll of silver halves was somehow 29... no idea how they missed that one.

Post an image. It can probably be "fixed" in a jiffy. All naturally...right?
