    Yes Paypal and I have requested the refund, along with sending the seller the link to the origin photograph. We will see what he does.

    I don't get it. A quick check of this seller's auctions makes it glaringly obvious that he's using borrowed pics since the imaging methods are all over the map. Yet, you bid anyway? I understand taking a flyer from time to time, since I do it myself. But, I like to see at least some small chance of a score. In this case, the odds were clearly zero.

    I bid before I went to bed last night without doing any checking, my bad. That's all.

    I live here in Tallahassee. I would be willing to go by and give the coin a look for you if you like. Send me a PM if I could help.

    All the seller HAS to do is deliver what is in the item heading. Nowhere in ebay rules does it say that you will get the item pictured unless so stated in the item heading or description. The seller can send you a shiney 18xx morgan and be within the "rules".

    assume nothing on ebay.
    Have a nice day

    << <i>Nowhere in ebay rules does it say that you will get the item pictured unless so stated in the item heading or description. >>



    They do strongly encourage use of an actual image for coins, though. This is what appears right before a seller clicks the submit listing button:



    << <i>eBay strongly recommends that sellers include all relevant information known about the coin or paper money, including any alterations the seller believes may have been made to the item, and include a clear scanned image of the actual item. >>

    i looked at all of his sales ...as they are all still viewable at this time...


    he sold the same coin to "jacheste" , with "buy it now" under $15 ................. email him..........see what he got!

    in the last 8 sales he's made 5 or 6 were with stolen pictures!

    That's just a representative coin of either the year or the type. Your coin will be similar in date or just that it's a Morgan.

    You can buy 5 Franklin's in his other auction, but I doubt any will look like this

    You are bidding on a set of Five very good...

    Nowhere does he mention the quality except to stick "very good" in the middle of the description. Let's hope they are not literally "VG"!
