I think it''s time to fish or cut bait. Either initiate a dispute through ebay and paypal or just accept that you got scammed.

Perhaps I''m lost in the posts, but other than the initial test done by a questionable person in a store, is there any hard evidence that this is a sim? Could the stone be reaL?

I received the ring last week tuesday and emailed her that I received it. I took it to the city on wednesday very confident that I''d made a good purchase. So, we went to Kay and sat down looking at the settings so it would be ready before our wedding. This size diamond just was a better match for the wedding band I selected with was a 1/2 ct of diamonds. 8 individually set in 18k white gold. Love it!! Anyway, I was so excited and picked out my band that was going to go with the wedding band perfectly. I asked just to diamond check it to be sure. The tester didn''t beep. My heart sank as he held my wedding band and checked every diamond it that to show me that it wasn''t his tester.

Sadly, I pay cash, so it was a direct transfer though my bank. Thanks for the links!!
I don''t buy anything that I don''t have the funds to back up. I didn''t mail cash. I have my PayPal account linked to my bank account. The funds are withdrawn by PayPal and forwarded to the account of the seller choice.Date: 12/7/2007 9:01:35 AM

You mail cash to an out-of-state stranger to buy things? Yikes. I would change this procedure immediately if I were you.
You have an extremely weak case and it’s getting worse by the day. It’s probably too late at this point. You needed to deal with this before you had it taken out of the setting and you needed to be able to reference a credible professional (like the independent appraiser that you’ve been advised to visit so many times). Who took it out of the setting? Did they say anything at that time? Will they put it in writing and sign it?

I have a beautiful purple stone that my grandfather got me in Thailand when I was a child. I was told it was an "alexandrite". Turns out it is not an alexandrite, and the best conclusion anyone can come to is that it is a "synthetic alexandrite".
