It might not be much money, but the seller should suffer the consequences of his own crappy ethics, not the buyer.

Don't be sorry, Dave... It's a good lesson. While the amount of money has no bearing on it and the dealer pulled a slick one, the good thing is that we learn "tactics". For that, I thank you and though I never block anyone on ebay, per se... I will keep an eye out for those "tactics". I've had worse used on me several times, but I don't wanna start soap operas here .
I sold a certified, high grade So-Called Dollar on eBay in June at no reserve, and the final bid was at a price level that I considered a loss-leader as they are sometimes known in the retail business. Mind you, the buyer was a member known to me, and I expressed my dismay at "giving it away" but I honored my contract. As painful as it may seem to honor such a contract, I believe that more often than not the reward can outweigh the sacrifice. The same member that purchased my SCD at half of market value gave me an opportunity to purchase an SCD of interest to me at what I considered a fair price. Upon receipt of the item, I became aware that a similar piece had just sold at a major auction for 5X the price I had just paid. I recognize that the reward came more quickly than could be anticipated, but most importantly I recognized that the business relationship established above will continue and will grow. Too bad so many sellers and buyers now at eBay are simply interested in the instant gratification of a one-shot deal with no expectation of loyalty or comraderie. Says a lot about the state of this hobby, even if it has become a source of income not available to many before the advance of internet technology.
<< <i>If you leave him negative feedback, he'll slam your butt with retaliatory negative; something like this
REFUSED TO PAY, MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS, CANNOT PLEASE THIS NEWBIE SELLERS BLOCK HIS BIDS
Then he'll leave follow up retaliatory negative so you feedback will look like this...
REFUSED TO PAY, MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS, CANNOT PLEASE THIS NEWBIE SELLERS BLOCK HIS BIDS! OFFERED MORE COINS, CAN'T PLEASE HIM, SELLERS BEWARE, BLOCK THIS NEWBIE!!!
The facts do not matter to EBay, it does not matter if you paid or not... EBay will refuse to investigate negative feedback, it's in their rules, sooooooooooooooooooo... you can ask him for another coin or just avoid him.
The retaliatory negative is the single most powerful tool the scam seller has and the "mutually withdrawn" feedback is there number 2. >>
With all due respect, the "butt-slam" will carry no force. My single negative feedback is from a similar scenario; I wear that neg like a badge of pride.
The folks whose business I crave can read between the lines. If you use rational language and stick to how you were actually harmed, you'll come out looking better than a seller who goes off the deep end.
Incidentally, the retaliatory neg was a response to a neutral I left for my one and only enemy on ebay. My animus for that seller is well-earned.
