New Samsung UN75H7150 75" LED TV $50.00 on eBay

[jj1000]

So anyone else receive their fake silver coin yet?

[chucksterace]

Mine should be delivered today. I already disputed the day after I received the tracking. They closed the case in my favor while I was on the phone with them. Was very easy.

[dsauch]

yah, got money back before the coin came in :-)

[sruly101]

Never actually paid for the item

[dealvr]

Why would the seller bother sending anything once he is scamming us?
What does he gain by sending the coin?

[dsauch]

you should have received tracking number - i am guessing it was a delaying tactic to withdraw money.
I have no doubt that both paypal and ebay account were hijacked. Money withdrawn immediately on receipt.
To stall some of the disputes you get a tracking number and patiently wait for your "TV"...

Got my silver coins today, and a paypal refund.

[sjsitt]

If you look at the back of the coin is says copy  on top of the In God we trust..

What did that mean?

[dsauch]

If you recall, when this started, seller had a pretty good feedback but has not done anything on eBay in a long time.
So originally this was a legitimate account.
At some point, I am guessing, s/he lost access and malicious users took over.
One probably would not have sent money to 0 feedback account.
Paypal was either done in same way or a throw away account.

After you sent noney, they delay by generating tracking number with actual package which you can check progress on.

As soon as money are in paypal they are withdrawn and cashed out.
You get your money back from paypal. Thieves get your money. The only looser is eBay/paypal/insurance.

anyone else get a latter from Comenity capital bank c/o paypal credit?

dear jorge quirog (sellers name fan qingfang)

this latter is in response to your request to open a paypal credit account....

[dsauch]

letter or email? anything else useful in this letter?

I got that "silver" dollar in the mail a few days ago, and I couldn't figure out why it was sent to me. So it was sent by the scammer just to generate a tracking number? (Why wouldn't they have just sent an empty envelope?)

Anyway, I assume I have to "contact the seller" first to request a resolution, and then wait a week before initiating a dispute?

not necessary. Dispute before its too late.

I already opened a case, and it said I have to contact the seller and wait a week for a response. Is there some way around that step?

thx

they got your money and they are trolling you to highlight "free cheese" concept - you dont see the irony in a fake dollar coin?
Just imagine some chinese dude sitting in his mini-apartment on a 15th floor of a 50 story building laughing his ass off as he seals 100 envelopes to greedy stupid americans (me included).
