Ebay is great but this sucks:
1875-S $5 Gold
Obverse is a proof and the reverse is an 1868-S.
Ebay has been notified.
Growl.....

This evening, I emailed the seller of this item asking about a return privilige, since the photographs do not allow me to establish grade or authenticity. Heck, how do I even know the coins are Dahlonega coins? He replies, "No returns, just check my feedback since 1999." I reply: "PASS!"

That statement alone builds my confidence....then I'm even more impressed with the no return on "RAW" gold.

Sorry, but I have hijacked this thread with my raw gold ebay find.
I suspect that the subject of the OP is a hijacked account.
In the case of my example, it is a seller who has obviously not sold coins before.
In addition to his Ebay contact phone number being bad, he assured me that the coins imaged were the exact ones he had for sale. However, the images for at least 3 of his listings were taken from coinfacs.com.
He had assured me that his "associate had imaged the coins" and that I had nothng to be concerned about. So, in order to be fair, in case he, himself, was being scammed, I left this feedback: "Seller or his photographer is a scammer. Images taken from coinfacts website."

So what's the Vegas "over-under" for the time it takes him to retaliate?

Its understandable as a lot of people buy expensive items and replace them before returning. I'm seriously never putting a raw coin of high value on ebay. If its high value its worth getting it slabbed.

I am often a sucker, but tend to believe him. By the way, I am guessing he was NARU'd, not because of the listings themselves, but because his Ebay contact phone number was no good, and I had reported that to Ebay too. He told me it was an old number which he forgot to change. He is supposedly working with Ebay (and with Paypal, which froze his account) to get things straightended out. I will provide an update if I get one.
