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:

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:

 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:

People 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!!!!!
