I bought an one eighth gold soverign advertised as 2025 New. When it arrived it was loose inside a very dirty heavily used plastic bag with the paperwork it should have been attached to. The plastic bag had been sealed with sellotape. Upon close examination, wearing special gloves as I do with all my loose coins, I could see and it was obvious the coin had been handled. This was in no way what I expected, and the seller acknowledged that fact during one of our heated conversations in which he stated was the condition he had eceived it from the Royal Mint. I contacted seller and requested I return the coin but he blatently refused to accept my concerns and after some rather heated posts would only accept a return if I agreed to pay a 10% transaction fee. I refused this and opened a return on 27th Oct. This complaint was closed by Ebay on 27th Oct, who never requested any evidence from me as to why I wished to return the coin other than the reason I originally told them I had changed my mind. What action can I now take to return this coin, which cost me over £100 which I in no way wish to add to my collection?. The item cost over £100 and I cannot afford to pay that for a coin which is of no use to me.
