Update: GW Haters... Have a laugh... on me

Chuckle.

I guess it is a matter of interpretation....

OK, here's the auction: UNC 07 WASH $1 COIN EDGE IS MISSING NOTHING ON THE RIM

hmmm.... should I read this to mean EDGE IS MISSING NOTHING ON THE RIM ?


<< <i>
You are bidding on one (1) error New George Washington $1 coin.
There is no writting on this coin, wait no writting on the rim of this coin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>



...and here is what I received...

    My gawd she is getting good feedback for them as well. People think that the "RIM" should have no writing. This is getting uggggly.

    What is that I see on the coin? Oh, that is the edge not the rim.

    Don't feel so bad. Looking at her other auctions she sold a few $25 rolls for $16.00 and $18.00.

    Guess she needed to make up the difference on you and others.

    I don't know why you find this amusing since the seller is obviously scamming and ripping folks off if they are in fact receiving the same coin you received!

    Have you asked to return it since there's no mention of a return policy? If the seller says no then its your duty to inform the rest of EBay with a big old NEG!

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    She lied in the auction, the picture shows no edge lettering and she said she found 8 in that box and 18 all together, which implies the coin she was sending you was different from the rest.

    Did you pay with a Credit Card or PayPal? With a Credit Card, you can say you're totally NOT satisfied with the item. With PayPal, I don't know, you'll have to read about what you can do.

    I would say you got ripped off, there must be some way to get some satisfaction.

    The 2x2 says "NO WRITING ON RIM", and that is technically correct. There is, however, writing on the EDGE image.

    I agree with you but I bet she knows exactly what she is doing and will be NARUed if she keeps it up.

    To those who don't think it's funny--You should have seen my face when I opened the package....

    I will follow the correct procedure here. First, I have to make sure it is not an honest mistake. And yes, I paid with PayPal. And yes, a great big old NEG will be given if there is no good resolution.

    that is absolutely absurd. do all you can through paypal and ebay. if that doesn't work, go see judge judy. she slammed an ebay scammer on her show a few weeks ago.

    Sounds like the Big neg is deserved.

    The coins in the auction picture actually look like they ahve lettering on the edge to me. Poor pics.

    Good luck and hit the chargeback button fast....not as described. It'll be a real headache for her, but deserved.

    this was probably just a secondary acct set up by someone to screw people. they seem to know immediate what to say to defend herself. plus with a alt acct she wont care when she gets booted. just a quick hit it appears.

    Does filing a claim with PayPal freeze the seller's PP account(s)?

    If it does, I might get results. Otherwise, the seller has until the 22nd of March to respond.

    It will be interesting to see the negs come flowing in. I'm sure after the first one hits, there will be a flood.

    I am sorry this happened to you.

    I actually emailed her last week when she claimed she had the D smoothie. She was also mentioned in a thread here as well.

    Anyway i did not like the answer she gave me when i asked her specifically if she had D smoothies.

    She said something like Not yet but my GF's ex got one. This is when she was selling rolls with the chance for a smoothie.

    people like her should be put in a room and beotch slapped in the face a few times.


    again, sorry this happened to you.

    Steve
    Good for you.

    Man this seller is just ripping out the scams!


    This is a fraudulent EBay listing and I have reported it as that. Too many naive coin collectors do not know the difference between Edge and Rim.

    Update: Apparently her PayPal account is frozen until the issue is resolved. 4 days ago, She sent me an email promising a refund and then nothing til today.

    Today she says that she cannot issue the refund thru PayPal without their approval--which may be true if the account is frozen. Maybe??

    Anyway, the refund is promised but not done yet.

    Meanwhile, PayPal's crack investigators are working feverishly to investigate the issue.

    by the way, she has broken the law in some of her prior auctions...

    she sold US currency for below face value...

    The first neg has been given to this seller.

    I was hoping to get the PayPal refund before the storm hits. (That is why I haven't left feedback yet)

    PayPal is still investigating.
