    eBay Auctions - are these real? Undrilled Pearls

    Didn't spend much so it wasn't horrible, and also, I made a pretty strong statement to the seller, just out of "principle", and did get reimbursement for one of the transactions. The seller said "he bought this at a market", and therefore, knows nothing about pearls. I have a feeling many...

    eBay Auctions - are these real? Undrilled Pearls

    I paid about $3.50 per pc. I spent about $18 or so. I'm not sure if I can file a claim, but since I paid with Paypal I'm sure something can be done. Ewwwwww lol not setting these on anything pricey. I think my sterling silver settings deserve better than that. Thank you Jeremy for your response :)

    eBay Auctions - are these real? Undrilled Pearls

    Not very many eBay sellers were mentioned, at least, I haven't been able to find them? :) I guess I will chalk up the 3 pearl purchase and take it as lesson learned and make it practice pearls for drilling/jewelry crafting. They might still be beautiful, who knows! I will only find out when I...

    eBay Auctions - are these real? Undrilled Pearls

    Oh I'm not expecting much but the seller is selling single pearls for much more than that... I know it's not possible to find South Sea pearls for $3 lol they go for soooooo much more. ..... but I was being hopeful since the seller is selling single pearls for BIN prices in the 50s 60s etc.

    eBay Auctions - are these real? Undrilled Pearls

    Yes I noticed that as well, what seems to be one flat spot on one side, which makes them not perfectly round.. I don't mind one small flat spot, I can work with that for the purpose of making necklace single pearl pendants on sterling silver setting...but if the pearls are worth more, might be...

    eBay Auctions - are these real? Undrilled Pearls

    The seller is fairly new on eBay, so his auctions were not getting much attention and very many bids. The pearls I won are supposedly South Sea pearls but I know very little about pearls, I'm learning/read about them when I got a moment. Opinions on these would be great! And he had more...
