Good day,
You can get decent paydirt off Ebay, you NEED to check sellers feedback though. There a some reputable sellers, but not all of them.

Before you leave the seller negative feedback, if you haven't yet, try contacting them directly and explain the problem your having. More often than not the seller will do their best to make you happy. Negative feedback looks bad, especially one selling paydirt, so they will do what they can to avoid that. It may be that the shipping company lost it, I've had tons of problems with one particular delivery service that like to lose things or gives the package to my neighbors or just leave it on my doorstep, and then of course it disappears. So it's not always the sellers fault. But if it is the sellers fault, then you can find plenty of other dealers that give you a fair deal. Just remember, the vast majority of the time you will not make money from paydirt. If your lucky you will break even. So don't get upset if you pay $100 for dirt and only recover $70 worth of gold, unless the seller specifically promises the amount of gold contained in the dirt.

If you must buy paydirt there are some reputable dealers. Kuger from this forum sells when he has some and I hear everyone is happy. You need to get ahold of him for prices. Felix pay dirt. expensive and you won't make money on it but you will get nice color. Tom & Perrys paydirt from GPAA. Again you won't make money, color is so so but price is resonable. I wouldn't trust ebay very much. Welcome to the forum you will learn alot here.

Good Luck!

You need to get a hold of Ebay and let them know. I don't know if they will help you but it won't hurt. I send all of my packages with tracking/confirmation. I believe I got taken once but not anymore.

Young dizzy. You can file a form against the eBay seller and they will step in and help resolve the issue. They give you a set amount of time and they contact the seller as well. I would act fast to get it resolved. I don't like eBay very much. I'm a newbie as well to this but nobody finds it right away you have to put time and effort into it to get rewarded. Good luck!!
