Perhaps, but there can be problems on all platforms, and I don't feel comfortable sending bullion without being paid first. Members here will use the excuse that I don't have enough history (even though I've sold 2 or 3 pieces here). Also, nobody here will pay as much as eBayers for bullion, so it's good until it isn't 😂

Collection, but the BIN listing he sent me included postage. The fact remains it sold for less than he wanted, so he cancelled.

Usually I would agree with you 100%. However my polite phone call, two emails sent to both the associate director, and the owner/director, have all been met with radio silence. So right now I tend to agree more with CazLikesCoins' earlier post. "I've heard of some very wealthy people who turned out to be the biggest scammers going, a penny here, a penny there, a duck here, a dive there, and all of a sudden it's a Bentley on the driveway subsidised by a whole lot of shady dealings."

Another great eBay experience (luckily not being a victim of fraud), but instead buying from id: verified_gold_bullion Prior to bidding on his 'collection only' auction, he seemed like a reasonable chap, and said he'd be happy to post as I have good feedback and showed him my sales history. So I bid and won a 22ct 40.4g gold rope chain for £2250. Unfortunately he couldn't send an invoice to cover postage on the 'collection only' listing. So I gave him my WPP number (I planned to send a quick bank transfer to cover p+p), however it ended up being simpler for both to just cancel/refund the order. He sent me a duplicate BIN listing with the added postage cost. Anyway, it's around midnight and i commit to buy the BIN listing, and I was going to pay first thing in the morning. I wake up about 9:30am to some WPP messages sent at 6:00-6:10am, asking to let him know when I've made payment for the listing. I go onto my eBay and low and behold, the order with postage that I placed just last night, had been cancelled at 7:16am, and relisted for more at £2750. What a complete turd, rant over.

Well, the problem is I can't proceed with the money claim if I'm not owed anything, as my eBay balance is no longer in the red. However, I do find it very odd that none of their staff have written back or phoned me, so the "dodgy ex employee" hypothesis seems less and less likely from my pov.

Yes, i filed a claim just the other day. The postcode in their registered business address ends with 'HA1 1RA' but in the eBay postal address it was 'HA1 1BH'. Google maps takes you to the same location, unless solely the postcodes are searched. They didn't use the 'Charterhouse Accountants' company name as part of their eBay delivery address, it was simply addressed to a (likely fake name) 'Ani Alfred'. However, the postman's proof of delivery photo, clearly shows a desk with a piece of unopened mail to 'Charterhouse Accountants' written on it. I phoned the firm directly on the 22/03 but have not yet received a call back, and I emailed their associate director on 21/03 but I'm still waiting for a response. I emailed the company director yesterday, so I'll let you know whether he responds. I got this eBay dispute notification just today (see image), so it appears they may have my back in this instance.

Thank you all for your input guys, I appreciate it 🙏 I will keep you updated with the outcome as soon as I can.

Hello guys I hope that you're well, I'd just like to inform you that Charterhouse Accountants Ltd (charter-house.net) are currently trying to scam me, after buying a 1 Oz Gold Buffalo on eBay for £1725 delivered. The eBay user ID used to place the purchase is: and-774142 So those of you who trade on there, will want to block this asap (assuming it's still active). Five days after receiving the coin, they bypassed eBay and filed a 'transaction not recognised' dispute with their bank. Once I uploaded proof of dispatch/delivery images to the eBay dispute that automatically opened and put my account in a deficit, I was notified that they'd changed their dispute to 'item not received'. The 1 Oz Gold Buffalo was delivered to Charterhouse Accounts Ltd address, College Road, Harrow. I even sent a polite email to their associate director querying this chargeback four days ago, and I phoned their firm last week but have not received any form of correspondence since. Best, Al

Yeah the highest I've paid for one is 1600 and i thought that was pricey, (given it's the most i've ever paid for a 1 oz coin).

You guys think £1655 is fair for a 1 oz buffalo or would you wait for a dip?

Trust issues, personally I don't buy high value goods via bank transfer unless it's an in person transaction, on the flip side I won't send goods first, but totally understand their perspective.

True, but too many dm's asking me to send the coin first due to limited trade feedback on tsf (never going to do that sorry).

Haha this was my listing, I knew it would garner attention and I rightfully deserved to be clowned for it! 😅 I listed it high just to see what other sellers would ask, then planned to adjust the price accordingly. I actually sold it last week for BIN £999 +£8.95 delivery 😊

This is my listing 😉
