I've been MIA recently, but I wanted to give you guys the head up on a gemseller on ebay.
http://shop.ebay.com/ablindeye/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686
I have never purchased from this seller and they have excellent feedback, but I have been warned (by someone I trust) that they sold a synthetic stone (at a high price) as natural and the certificate they supplied was faked (the appraisal co was contacted and had no record of the stone). This incident is still under investigation, but ebay refunded the money to the buyer, so there must be something to it.... so be careful out there!
I understand that sellers/wholesalers can sometimes be fooled also, as the fakes are getting harder and harder to spot, but when the certificate is a fake, it makes you take notice.
