I will be interested to see Pamp's response,I emailed Perth Mint about fakes on ebay and alibaba,and they responded but they take one scumbag down and another appears to take their place.

That is the infamous "Lernaean Hydra" effect - cut out 1 scumbag and 2 take its place !

First of all if that's your address above remove it.

[HelpingHands]

Secondly, you seem to be dealing with an idiot. I would reply with-

If you invoice me with the international postage I will pay. Until you do that eBay won't allow me to pay.

Alternatively you could text and ask him for his PayPal email address and pay that way without doing the eBay checkout. Then pay the amount for UK postage as it sounds like he'll pay the difference.

[HelpingHands]

Have you got his PayPal address?

[HelpingHands]

You can both agree to cancel the sale but I think he needs click first.

Copy the below and send it to him if you like:

I have asked you multiple times for an invoice with international postage so I can pay but for some reason you haven't sent it. Cancel the sale at your end and I will confirm the cancellation at my end.

[HelpingHands]

I think if it is cancelled neither of you can leave feedback for each other but if he leaves negative before cancelling you can maybe get eBay to remove it.

[HighlandTiger]

Weellll!! In the end he realised how to put the shipping costs and I could pay!!! I'm very happy. Half sov for 0.4% premium!

 

LOL. Lets see if it arrives yet. 

 

I'm not the only person on here that has won a "bargain" on Ebay, only for it not to arrive, and having the seller refund the money to them........Only to see the same item back on sale a few weeks later.

 

There are some sellers, (I'm not saying that this will happen here) who rather than sell something cheap and less than what they wanted for it, will pretend they have sent the item and a when you complain you never recieved it they give you a refund, and then they resell it at a later date hoping for a higher price. I'm convinced this has happened to me twice in the last 6 months..

I haven't seen these before. I won't be buying any little sealed bars second hand.

The seller has the cheek to write this in his description:

SUCCESS !!!!     :D

 

Check out the listing - removed due to an error -------my ass !!

 

Here is an extract only of the response directly from PAMP received today ....

I cannot copy the entire message or I might be breaking the small print on their email

 

"PAMP follows the policy to vigorously react to such occurrence."

 

Let's hope they gave eBay a stiff warning shot and if we see this seller, or any others, offering fakes that they claim are indistinguishable from the genuine item, then we ought to copy the manufacturer and maintain pressure.

[HelpingHands]

Very good.  I'm still surprised that the seller thinks it is okay to sell fake bullion whilst he's selling genuine pms.

Didn't even stop him though because he is still selling the same items.

[Pete]

I had hoped this was more permanent.

Thanks for posting this item - another email sent to PAMP just to try and stir things up a bit more.

This is the eBay seller who tried to sell the FAKE Britannia MULE.

Beware!!!!

[HelpingHands]

That's no good.

Are there any examples of genuine gilded mules?

[Danny-boy]

That's no good.

Not that I have seen, but it's not particularly expensive.

I was quoted £250 to gild one of my britannia date runs. Think it was about £12 plus shipping or something like that per coin.

So there may be some out there, but I have never seen one. I'd say mules would retain value better if left alone.

[Keithoil]

Yes I would have thought that they would be best left alone, but £49 I thought cool.

"Happy Christmas, thank you for your money" 

[HighlandTiger]

I know it's no laughing matter but you have to have some huge set of balls, to send out Xmas cards in an envelope. Most dodgy dealers don't send anything.

[Keithoil]

Beats me!!

[HelpingHands]

Well he's got proof of signature now. He can claim it was sent.
