SECOND best attempt to return a coin that I sold on eBay

I am sure that this has happened to someone on this board - on or off of eBay.
Years ago, I sold a really nice PCGS MS64, 1885-S Dollar that would have plused without question today.
The guy who bought it lived about 10 miles away from Newport Beach, and then told me he was returning coin one day before his return privilege expired (7 days).
I get the coin back, and the serial number on the slab is different! Instead of sending it in for a crossover, he cracked out the coin and resubmitted it.
Needless to say, he owned the coin. The paypal guy was laughing on the other end on the phone.

Anyway, the original buyer DEFINITELY owns the coin!

Good one. Need to add this one to the "Why dealers drink" thread.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

I had a woman buy a PCGS slabbed 1986 Staue of Liberty half dollar on feebay. She cracked the coin out to resell it to a B&M as silver. When she found out it wasn't silver, tho I never in any way implied that it was, she filed a SNAD claim and I was forced to accept a return, got a neg, and her $ was refunded.

I'd say"you gotta be kidding?" but I know you're not.
<< <i>Who was the PayPal guy laughing at - the original buyer, or you (as in the PayPal guy not understanding the significance of slab serial numbers).

Paypal dude was laughing with me at the seller's meager attempt to return the item.
PCGS MS64, 1885-S Dollar: ~$500
