I emailed the seller and she assured me it is genuine! I asked if I
bought
it and it turned out to be a "replica" if I could return it. No reply.


Hmmmm..... a genuine WHAT?

Guess he got tired of people informing his bidders of what they are really
getting.


Can a person place a bid then retract it? Does eBay allow you to put
any comments in the retraction, or are the retraction statements
canned? I know bid retraction has been discussed in RCC before, but
I can't remember what was said about it.

AFAIR, "this coin is a replica" *isn't* one of the plain-vanilla reasons allowed.
"Entered wrong bid amount" is the most common. I'm pretty sure that none of them
include any negative references to the item being auctioned.

(for obvious reasons)

Well, geez, that's why you make up an ebay account name of
"fake_fraud_phony" and bid with it.

No point, Tony.
Private auction = no account names shown.

Surely eBay will *eventually* take note of the alerts it has received....

Wow! It's amazing! The Mint didn't strike coins with collars until
the 1830s, yet this one is perfectly round! WHAT A BUY!!!

One more thing: From the return policy:

"This item is sold as-is with no returns. Plese do not bid if you do
not accept this policy."

Run, don't walk. Run. Fast.

Also on the site:

"We are now making our auctions private bidding. This means that anyone
can still bid on our auctions, but your eBay name will not be visible to
other users. We do this to protect our customers identities."

....as well as not reveal to the world what a chump you are.
