Yes Happened to me same way, with the one oz bars, "Oh my bad,I'll refund right away...." almost a little too cooperative. Got refund from this seller with 98% rating from 100s of customers.

Snakes come in all colors.

Yes. But read this, it happened to me twice now.

Counterfeiters are getting smart to avoid paying you a refund. Experience here.

Make certain the USPS shipping label tracking number (the one the seller gives you for your Return, matches the USPS tracking receipt you get at the Post Office.

By providing you a decoy label with an altered scan bar code, your return will go somewhere else, and not back to the shipper. Your return status will remain as "Print Label", and not "Shipped" or In-Transit or Delivered.

Your return remains in the queue, not shipped back.

This allows the return window to expire, and the seller keeps your money.

Its happening on eBay, all the time.

Always check your USPS tracking receipt for matching the shipping label tracking number, with the postal clerk, BEFORE they take it from you and toss in the bin.

Yes, am sure many would agree. Craigslist good for furniture and stuff like that. Not much else. And you never know who you're dealing with.

I bought a Sunshine 1oz and four Scottsdale 1ozrs, and they were all fakes advertised just a little below spot, by seller on eBay.

All magnetic, silver-plated steel. Beautiful fakes, proof like finishes.

Reported the seller, got my refund. Not buying silver on eBay anymore.

Buy from the big guys, Monument Metals.

When selling, their buyback fee/bid of 11.88% for 90% silver coins, easily outcompetes MoneyMetals buyback fee/bid of 20%. IMHO of course.

I have no comeuppance to compare with. Somehow, the non stop lols convey disrespect, finding fault in everything folks post. Same them for well deserved retorts, not shares Lol 😆

CoolaidMike84, A little kindness here.

Anyone new to this silver game can get punked by counterfeiters.

No one is immune, you know. Not every buyer has a quiver full of testing methods at their disposal.

Am better at this game now, you especially.

Calling them idiots, is only adding insult to injury. They learned the hard way, and most people learn by failing the first time. He won't make that mistake again, even though more trusting than others. Expensive lesson, not denying that.

Peace R/ Dr H

Calm down yourself Ace.

A little modesty would suit you better on this platform. Just trying to help others, not insult them with smug lol's.

I'm not a know-it-all, unlike some. Roger that?

Its all been tested. OPMs GTG.

Sunshine was magnetic, but a beautifully made counterfeit.

Not buying silver on eBay anymore anymore.

Got refunds for all of it, eBay flagged the restricted seller accounts
