What lost purchasing power? You got to keep $98 in ebay bucks from last quarter for a coin that you returned for a full refund this quarter. Ebay deducted the $98 that you already spent. You didn't lose anything.
My account this quarter is now negative dude. It offsets the 98 I already got because I have to pay it back! If I spend 1500 right now my ebucks go to 2 instead of 100.

Yes $100-$98 is $2. We have determined you understand simple mathematics which I suppose is a step in the right direction. Now lets try again:
1. You purchased a coin and earned $98 in ebay bucks.
2. You returned that coin after the quarter ended and your account still retained the $98 ebay bucks from prior quarter.
3. You spent the $98 in ebay bucks that technically were not yours since you returned the coin but too late for ebay to cancel.
4. Ebay deducted the $98 from your ebay bucks account that you had already spent.
5. Your account now reflects the -$98 balance.
You didn't lose a thing, you are exactly where you should be. Actually you made out because ebay gave you a interest free $98 loan.

ACop. You clearly do not value your time as money, since you spent many hours on the numerous threads you created, all over a hundred (imaginary lost bucks), at worst.
Can we create a Gofundme account for this poor guy? He must really be in bad shape if lost eBay Bucks has him on the brink.
I work on the computer. It takes a few seconds to type when things like simple math dont make your brain explode. I am doing just fine buddy. Some people care about principle. Others are just pansies who dont stand up for themselves.

Acop, just to let you know Apmex has AU random double eagles at $29.99 over melt. Use your 8% offer, you will earn $100, get your balance to a +$2 and get a awesome coin for $70 under melt. Oh your welcome lol
Your frustration is understood, ACop. Promotions like the Ebay Bucks are funded by much higher final fees for the average schmuck seller and are a boon to the large subsidized merchants like Apmex.
For most buyers the bucks are a score that gets us into bullion for under melt. Every once in a while they bite us in the tuchas. This time you struck out.
Select your sellers better and maybe ask a question or two first if they are known for selling stock image items.

I didn't go look but we are being told the coin is again re-listed. Is it really a mistake if APMEX has been told about it but then continues to do it?
I once returned a coin to Teletrade because the pix were horrible and they relisted it with the same crappy pix.
But it was the same crappy coin and not a substitute?

You're forgetting the $7 shipping when he refused to use the Apmex supplied return label. He's definitely out at least $7.

I'll try better next time, sorry I was at work and didn't see till I got home and they were selling fast. The OP surely would try to blame me for him losing $100 by missing the deal. Thank god he is not into bullion double eagles.
But seriously I missed it the first time, it was sold out then about an hour later they had more. Could happen again.

ACop is right and has a legitimate gripe. APMEX Is wrong, but in my mind it’s better to yield a little ground here than try to right every wrong in the world or die of a hypertensive crisis in the effort. If you’re looking for a hill to die on, I’d suggest one with a prettier view.

So, the title says Gold CAC, the picture shows a Gold CAC coin, and the description says Gold CAC and they relisted it exactly as before knowing full well that the buyer is NOT getting a Gold CAC coin. Anybody on this forum listing that would be called a bait and switch scammer here.
The current listing show the CAC more on the green coloration instead of gold
At certain angles, sometimes the green ones look gold and the gold ones look green. Here is a gold one where you can see a little green shining thru. The holgram paper has dozens of layers to produce the effect and if you tilt it just right you can get a lot of different colors out of a hologram:

point is that Apmex lured you in for the sale then left you out to dry. Now that the time is gone, the ebay bucks are gone, and the opportunity to buy the actual CAC coin is gone, I feel for you. I had this happen with Furniture. Wanted two lazy boy type chairs to match, one got lost then they had no more. ended up losing the bucks, one chair short and pissed off.

Here is a link to a typical APMEX listing for a uniquely certified numismatic coin:

Their subtitle for the listing - Buy with confidence and free shipping from APMEX on ebay!
LOL, yup I am confident that the $1348.96 I lay down is gonna get me the unique coin that is listed! Can't wait!!!
Best, SH
Sometimes a crime sits there innocently and a victim trips over it.
At least there was a reverse photo of the coin. Many of their listings don't.
