I received yet another cleaned coin ( I just have to stop buying on my smart phone ) and requested to return it.
I normally just send the offending coin and provide a tracking number and when it has been delivered I get my refund.
This time I got this from the mob at eBay;
QuoteWe need you to provide us with documentation from a qualified 3rd party showing the current condition of the item and any potential repair costs. You can provide this proof by responding to the email sent with further information.
I responded by telling them I easily could do this by sending the offending coin to PCGS for grading and outlined the costs of a single coin submission including the shipping cost involved, IF they or the seller was willing to cover these costs :diablo:
Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar request from eBay over a return ?
qualified third party?

HeHe.
The "any potential repair costs" is strange as well , once a coin has been polished it is ruined beyond recovery :angel:
well here we have qualified
accountants
engineers
chemists
bankers
mining operations guys
naval officers
paramedics
and the list goes one
oh and the odd numismatist and ANDA Coin Dealer too!!!!
The seller obviously didn't like the idea of paying for the "Expert Opinion" from PCGS, The return has been accepted :good:
