The old story of making sure you are going to get the coin in the listing ay ?,the old switcharoo ay ?
Been there done that quite a few times & any seller worth dealing with will realise their "mistake" & refund when they get the coin back.

I don't want a refund, I want the coin I bid on :dash1:
If I don't get the coin i bid on I will report the seller to eBay AND leave awful feed back.
I have emailed the seller and given him the opportunity to fix this.
The ball is now firmly in his court.
The one I bid on had some interesting die cracks and I am quite angry at the moment that I didn't receive it:aggressive:

I did a quick google image search with no luck. Usually lazy sellers steal pics straight from there.

I recon this seller actualy has the coin but wasn't happy with the price achived on the listing and sent me the crappy one instead of the one i bid on

That I will do, i bought some millenium UNC 50 coins from the same seller and they were spot on.

If Not I WILL nail the bugger

I just recived an email from the seller with a genuine apology and an offer for a full refund and keep the coin anyway.

I rejected the refund and accepted the apology,sometimes we just have to accept the fact that people DO make mistakes and we just have to forgive them (No matter how painfull) bugger, I realy wanted that die crack coin.
Oh well I'll just keep hunting and try again another day.
Ce la ve :give_heart:

At least he offered you a resolutions. I had a similar thing happen with a RV florin - the guy had an UNC coin in the photo but sent me a coin that was fine at best. The price was about $20 plus postage and his solution was to send the coin back via registered post, and he'll refund the coin component of the price (keeping the postage). He earned himself negative feedback.

So it wasn't a total loss

I think you might have to change your "grumpy old bugger" description to something more like "sensitive new age guy" :taunt:
