    Ok, well that SUCKS. I just bought a coin from them, paid with postal MO but no coin yet.image

    I've got a sick feeling that I've just been F<@#*D. I sure hope that coin arrives.

    And to think, it would now cost me twice as much for the gas to drive up there to "recover" my money...

    but seeing as there is an actual address and not just a PO Box, he he he. image
    I'll guess I'll just recover my gas money, food & expenses too as long as I'm there. image

    You'll be fine. He's a good, honest seller.

    Yes, he's on my favorite sellers list- I just wonder why he's having trouble with ebay.....

    You should be fine. This is a very honest and reputable seller. It's probably just a silly administrative thing.

    I've got him in my favorite sellers as well because his photos are so nice.

    I just hope things work out ok for everybody involved.

    My guess is that since he's been on eBay since 1998 he's on the old non-automatic billing system and he forgot to pay his seller's fees. You can screw people all day every day and not get NARU'd, but forget to pay eBay their money and they'll toast you quick.

    Vam Guy... for Pete's sake....cool it. Everybody's right. He's above board and I'll lay odds that you get your coin. Believe me, it's not a problem. image

    Just FYI~ A NARU isn't always over a negative situation. I requested my own eBay ID be NARU'd a few months back when I suspected someone had gained access to my account (I might have logged in on a "fishing" link sent by e-mail scammers, the penalty for not paying attention to what you're doing and having multiple browser windows open at the same time image)

    After checking, closing and/or watching all accounts associated with my eBay, PayPal and affiliated credit/bank cards for a few months, changing the numbers or changing accounts altogether, I was finally reasonably certain nothing bad had (or would) happen, so I had eBay reinstate my ID.

    It does happen for legit reasons (sometimes)

    Honestly, I'm not really sweating it. I'm sure it will work out just fine. I have patience and I'll wait it out.

    Right on Russ, but don't you have to give eBay a credit card or a checking account number in order to be able to sell? I don't recall. image

    He's on the "A" list. Last time he was NARU'd was from a dispute between a buyer and himself. He had even kept in contact during his NARU status. I would say you have nothing to worry about.

    Now you do, but when Mike signed up you didn't have to.

    I see. Man, that ain't right. He's a good dude.

    BTW, I NEVER permit eBay to deduct ANYTHING from the checking acct nor do they even get a chance to bill me because right when the clock strikes midnight on the day my fees become due I shoot over payment via PayPal. Always have. image

    Mike's a good guy and is also a member of the boards; why don't you send him a PM if you are concerned?
