declan03 Posted July 7, 2017 Author Posted July 7, 2017 Good morning guys. Well, eventually received the ruling from ebay this morning. Would you believe they ruled in favour of the seller? With a small footnote stating that the seller described the item accurately. Case closed. I am on holiday just now but they have not heard the last of this. More later. Quote

declan03 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Posted July 12, 2017 Hi again. Latest on ebay. I telephoned ebay this morning. Nice girl who i dealt with and had a bit of savvy about her. When i pointed out to her where the word copy had been partly erased, and pointed her to Dorchester coins site (thanks Tom) she agreed with me that it was a fake and reversed the ruling, giving me a full refund, as the description never mentioned copy or fake. Although she did say that their policy is usully not to go by photographic evidence. I,ve left the seller omega2 nice feedback for the fake. Thanks for all your help. Regards. Kevin 1 Quote
Ukstu Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Well done. I knew it would pan out well in the end. Quote

The only way the evidence could be put towards them was by photograph unless they where willing to come direct to your door for an explanation of why it was fake. I find their attitude towards it shoddy at the least. If Declan had not persisted the case they would of been favouring the seller (fraudster). Happy it was sorted eventually. 1 Quote
declan03 Posted July 13, 2017 Author Posted July 13, 2017 Its terrible a huge company like ebay do not have a couple of coin experts to sort these fraudsters out. After all they must be raking in millions on coins alone. Here's another case finishing tonight (Thursday 10.10pm) of a kew gardens 50p being sold at auction . Standing at £63 just now. No mention of it being a copy and still on sale even though i reported it. Its a minefield out there!! 1 Quote

Genuine coin sells: ebay get paid. Fake coin sells: ebay get paid. Fake coins sells at inflated price due to shill bidding: ebay get paid more. Where, exactly, is their incentive to do anything about it? If anything, they tacitly encourage it whilst pretending it's not allowed. 2 Quote
Ukstu Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) Pissing into the wind reporting anything to them unfortunately. I've given up doing that now and since I got threatened I've given up hassling the sellers to remove or be clear about what they sell. Unfortunately it's crawling with crooks on there. I've even been fleeced buying stuff for my kids (toys) . Best thing we can all do is be wary about what we buy and fight our corner if something goes wrong , we can't rely on eBay for anything other than replace or refund and if they start to deny us that liberty I'll be throwing the towel in and shopping elsewhere.

I think it is worth following this up and ask Ebay for their reason in removing the negative feedback. The seller has wasted too much of your time and you will at least get some satisfaction with a permanent negative feedback. Quote
