Nice way to display your coins but I keep mine empty

I have no use for these ( I have packing boxes full of clamshells etc.)
I got bored and listed this on eBay :ok:

seems like a good way of recycling the box and selling some of my excess coins.
I just thought I would think outside the square for a change.
I've seen the empty cases sell for $50 so it'll be interesting to see what interest you get
awesome stuff
Thats a good idea. I reckon it'll do well but good luck anyway.
when when you boil it all down
coin collecting in toto is recycling
which is great, as we hang on to our material history thorugh the collecting
I just knew that this would end up in tears :dash1::dash1::dash1:
All was going well, over 200 views 25 watchers and 14 bids the some Turkey snipes the auction, then pays for the lot via paypal.
So far so good, However 10 mins later I get an email that he had made a mistake and can I send a refund.
I figured "yeah why not, easy enough to make a mistake"
No Worries, I immediately log onto my paypal acc and see that this clown has already filed a "Not as Described" case with a line of old codswallop as a reason.
Well I wasn't a pretty sight at this stage with the blood filling my eyes and the steam coming out of my ears.
I did however maintain my composure and issued a full refund (No skin off my nose I thought) .
I then filed to get the sale cancelled so I wasn't out of pocket with paypal and ebay fees, Yea right like this happened :dash1:
I had to ring eBay and explained what happened and that I was " a little displeased" :diablo: with this buyer and what can they do about it.
I was assured that this will be sorted out for me and the buyer will be looked at:dodgy:
I am awaiting the outcome of this fiasco with baited breath:whistle2: :to_pick_ones_nose_eat:
Ah well to JOYS of eBay :laugh2::yahoo:
I bet they thought they were going to get the original proof set at a cheap price, then realised that it was not a 66 proof set. what a tool
they didn't have to go about it the way they did
It doesn't surprise me one bit to be honest.
Have you offered it to the 2nd bidder at all ?
Be careful, we've had this happen before and Paypal double dipped taking the same amount again at the dispute resolution stage. It wasn't eBay and it wasn't a coin transaction but we did the right thing by giving the refund at the buyers request then Paypal took the money again. Nothing we could do about it.

isn't that Sooo annoying :dash1:
And there is bugger All as a seller we can do about this:dodgy:
Trout, you couldn't have been more clear, honest and concise with your selling notes.! Some people are just a pain in the butt.!
All is good Rob, I got the transaction cancelled and got my fees back.
I have blocked this buyer and paypal are NOW aware of his propensity to BS and he has lost some of his credibility :ok:
Honestly I think you are asking for trouble selling those boxes with non proof coins in them. People don't read the listings and I am not surprised you were stung. If you re-sell them I'd suggest doing it without the coins.

It was only an experiment and I was bored.
I had a couple of other bidders on this and I emailed them letting them know in no uncertain terms that the coins were not 1966 proof coins, They kept bidding anyway.
I will keep the boxes and give this idea the flick. :ok:

trout , how can i block a bidder from bidding on my items also
i have just had bad dealings with a guy who bought 12 items of me and he abused me because he thought i should give him free postage
because he bought bulk items , all the items had postage at $ 1 ea
that would equal $ 12 .00 , i charged him $ 5. 00 , saving him $ 7.00 dollars and he said postage should be free ,. padded bag 1.20 postage 1.80 . total $ 3.00 and i get $ 2.00 for my trouble and remember some items sold at .99 cents with only 1 bid .. ,, kel ,,

Go to the bottom of your eBay page and you will find a "Customer Support" link.
When you get there do a search for "blocking Buyers" and it will give you a link to your blocked bidders page.
Just add the username of the cretin you want to block and all will be good :ok:
QuotePeople don't read the listings
I agree. I have had hassles from buyers (after the event) and it is obvious they have neither read the description or looked at the pictures before bidding! Presumably they see the title, say "that sounds good" and bid without looking down the page. Why? I don't know.

I can assure you it's not just eBay. I receive and answer hundreds of technical support emails a week and have done so for several years and people just will not read. Or they see what they want to see. If I wasn't already so bald I swear I'd be tearing my hair out!!!!!
thanks trout .. ,, kel ,,
