eBay actually has nothing to say about the transaction's completion. what can they do to force a seller who doesn't want to honor their obligation to send items to a buyer??

Out of vague interest , whats the point of all the legal mumbo jumbo when listing ..ie..i agree to legal binding contract etc ... Im very surprised at the confidence in Ebay to remove a neg.I wouldnt bet on that.

They can't do any more than what they can do to force a buyer who doesn't want to honor his obligation to pay for their winning bids to send payment.
I have had a number of buyers over the years who wanted to get out of the deal after an auction closed for some reason or another (misread the listing, already had one like it, etc.) and I always agreed to cancel the transaction. I never insisted that someone should have to eat their mistake.
The FVF on those auctions will be about 20 cents and I don't think 2 negatives from one user with an explanation from you is going to hurt you at all.

It might very well hurt the buyer more to leave another neg.When i sold on ebay i'd often look at a potential buyers feedback and if i were to see someone that had left negatives on the last two transactions i'd have to ponder cancelling that bidder and blocking them.Im pretty sure i wouldnt be alone in using that tactic.
The irony is that if you tell the greedy buyer the deal is off and he sues, he's lose. Obvious mistakes means there could have been no meeting of the minds.
Refund the guy's money. If he negs you, come back here so we can roast him and toast him.
I gave up looking at the help pages on Ebay. You would think they would say something about this type of situation.
In the old days a bunch of us here would start contacting the guy and give him our thoughts about his actions. Today we would all get in trouble for doing so.
At this point, just give a nice reply to his neg. Anyone will understand the guy is jerk.
Push comes to shove it's probably worth it just to send him the coins if you want to avoid the neg. Depends what $$ value you assign to a neg.
That being said, the sale is legally indefensible, being that it is illegal to sell US legal tender under face value. So in a legal sense, the sale is null.

That's an interesting perspective. Can you post a link that confirms this?
I'm surprised that auction lasted for more than a minute... Any Morgans with a BIN for .99 cents typically lasts a few seconds. Clumsy, but an honest mistake. I would try to negotiate with the buyer if possible. You may also want to refund the money, and hope for the best. Good luck...

I'd also wonder if this is correct , i've won $2 bills for under $2 a few times.

eBay won't hold you responsible for your mistake and will penalize the bidders for not doing anything wrong.
<< <i>After he negs you, I'd call Ebay and explain the situation. Pretty good chance that they will remove it. >>
Is there any chance that eBay will tell you in advance whether they would remove it or not.

<< <i>It's too bad they weren't toners. They would've probably been yanked and deemed AT and you would be off the hook.
<< <i>Refund the money and get ready for the negative.
Then see if ebay will reverse the negative. >>
One negative is a small price to pay. My understanding is that you can reply to any feedback left. I would simply leave an explanation for posterity.

Of course, that wasn't the case here, but some do.
