Got to love E-Bay sellers.

I bought a coin on E-Bay and asked the seller if he took paypal. I got this response.
How are you?
Congratulations on winning this auction. My mailing address is XXX. I would like you to send me a money order in the amount of $48.00 to include $41.50 item cost
+ $3.50 S.H.+ $3.00 insurance. Insurance is optional so total without
insurance would be $45.00. But as i said i will not be responsible for lost or damaged items that are shipped without insurance. That risk is up to you. When i recieve your payment i will ship the coin. I also need your shipping address. Thank you. Have a great day. Sincerely,XXX
No problem, I write him back and ask if a personal check is OK (he can hold the coin until it clears, I have over 1000 feedback yada, yada)... I get this back...
Sorry Marty,
I do not want personal checks. That is why i have specified Money order or cashier check. What part of this is so hard to understand.You can buy a money order at the post office and at many other places.Thank you. And i have every intention of holding this item until i have the money. You have a great day.
I wrote him back stating I would get a money order tomorrow, but would never buy another thing from him. I am a customer and a simple no would have been nice...
I guess I expect a bit of respect fron a seller...

It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

I think I would have waited to have coin in hand before laying down the gauntlet.
This particular seller doesn't accept personal checks, and slaps you in the face when you inquire about it. Go Figure!!!

What did the doe say when she came out of the woods?.....Last time I do THAT for a buck!
The next day (27th), I get an eMail from him telling me that he received payment on the 14th, but that he held the money order until it cleared his bank, and would be shipping soon. I still haven't received the coin.
Now, that's paranoid. And, this guy is a coin dealer.

That's no way to get repeat customers.
1: The seller takes E-payments. (but not Paypal, 1st E-Mail)
2: The seller did not state payments accepted in the auction (that's why I asked about the personal check)
3: The seller did not state shipping price in the auction (me stupid)
4: It was for a PR69DCAM SAE (paid half of CU price)
I should have asked the questions first. So maybe I asked for it. (But I don't think so)
Looking for PCGS AU58 Washington's, 32-63.
What the guy was saying was:
1) I have never heard of the concept of repeat customers
2) The fact that you've got over 100 positives means nothing to me
3) I don't care if I ever hear from you again
4) I'm an idiot
Now, what part of that didn't you understand?
