Got Ripped Off Buying a Gold Eagle on eBay

Yeah I didn't know you had to pay extra for that stuff either. The thing is we never even got to the point where she said your "item has been shipped." There was always an excuse. So obviously if it hasn't been shipped there's not going to be any tracking info.

Update: I went to the Bank today and they said they don't handle that there, so they gave me a number to call. I called the number and the rep said they are going to temporarily credit my account tomorrow, and open a 90 day claim.

So I guess there's a chance they could take my money away from me again if Paypal says I didn't follow the rules, but I guess the odds of that are slim...was thinking about doing a run on my bank after I get the money, lol.

ZERO CHANCE.

Paypal cannot affect your claim since you did NOT recieve the item purchased.

Paypal is going to have to EAT it. They will threaten or cancel your account because you didn't go through their OWN "internal" reclaim procedures (which is BS).

Always pay with plastic for this very reason.

yes, obviously, and sorry to say again, had you just lost patience and demanded your refunded, you'd lose your MS cashback maybe, you'd lose a good deal and spend an extra $100-200 bucks, but look what you lost now (just the psychology of dealing with this crap is worth $100 to me)

I hope the best for ya. Since when does it cost money to get "tracker number" ? Everytime I order my coins they always send me the delivery info to my email at no charge (why should they charge) I guess Ebum is all about "extra fees" because its the first time I heared of people paying extra money just to get tracking information ? What a bunch of Crapola. I do agree though that you gotta be anal about understanding all the in and outs on "buying and sellers" policys.

it costs THEM to do it, but the generally include it in the shipping so you appear to pay nothing extra, it doesn't hurt to ask and be sure, for something so costy.

Ironically, MS cashback just deposited the 20% into my paypal account.

not ironic, they should do it. They only care whether you paid. Not whether you received it, so good for you.

I just meant it was ironic that as soon as you mentioned it I received the cashback.

what else can I mention?

(and not to be anal, but I hope you're aware that "ironic" means something happens opposite to expectations, not just a coincidence, not saying you misused it, but I hear it too often.)

Not that it makes any difference, but I wasn't "expecting" to get it, at least this soon.

Happened to me as well several years ago paying $400 for an ounce of gold coin.

I think what was going on was that gold was going up and down at such a rate that he'd sell the gold on e-bay at a certain price...then wait until the price dipped below what he sold it at then send it to you. Would've worked if gold was just fluctuating as it had been.

But when I bought it, gold just kept going up and up and up and he couldn't delay it so he just closed up shop and changed ebay names.

Paypal policy (inside the 45 day time limit) requires proof of delivery. Therefore most eBay sellers include it in the S&H cost they quote, because if they do not have it, they automatically lose any appeal.

The Post Offices charges extra for it, UPS and Fed Ex do not.
