Good Morning I Bought a 1963 Proof Cameo Franklin off of a power seller on Ebay received the envelpoe in the mail yesterday sealed with tape but no coin . There was a peace of cardboard a myler flip and the paypal packing slip stapled together. Contacted the seller waiting for a answer. Has this happen to any of you here on the forum.

This kind of tape?

Clear packing tape across the fold tab

Shipping nothing!? That's either a serious insult from the seller or a mistake by the seller. Is there any way the coin could've slipped out of the flip and somehow out of the package, too?

This has happened to me before. The envelope was delivered to me with an entire side open and the roll of quarters gone. I sent the packaging back to the seller and they were able to file an insurance claim and get the money back.

Good luck.

Out the power seller so we can avoid them and file a claim with PayPal if you paid that way.

If you do not hear from seller in a day or 2, file an item dispute with ebay as not received. You can do the same with paypal if it goes that far, this could get sticky if there was delivery confirmation proving a package, empty or not, was delivered.

Best of luck.....

Not just yet waiting for his reply.

What type of shipping? 1st Class, Priority, etc.
Would the package weigh more than 1 oz with the coin?
Can you determine if the postage was for the weight of the packaging only or if there is weight 'missing', hence the coin was removed at some point?

There is a high ammount of impatience on this board. Most sellers don't live for a $9 coin. I would certainly wait a couple of weeks before filing anything. What possible good could it do to file so quickly? If I were away from my computer (doesn't happen but some people don't live online like we do) and came back and found something like that I'd be tempted to neg you and relist the coin. Give the seller a reasonable time to respond, especially since the only real evidence this happened on purpose is the prevailing distrust that exists on this board. Remember, 95% of the sellers are honest. We talk about the other 5% 99% of the time here.

I really don't want to make a big issue about a $9.00 coin . I just wanted to know if this has happen to anyone else. This is First for me.
