Most images are stock photos since we often have multiple items in stock-the wording in the description. you must of bought the pictured coin from them?
I can accept the use of stock photos of common coins with a common look. This coin has very cool toning IMO. I would be very upset if I bought this and got a typical 64. Unacceptable in this case.
I don't use the "Saved Sellers" feature on eBay, but I think I might to create a list of who not to buy from.
I wish they had a blocked sellers list that would prevent viewing their items when signed in.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
I will add that relying heavily on fine print as a business practice is a poor formula if you want to create satisfied repeat customers, in any business.
This is clearly bait and switch tactics. I would be very upset if I didn't receive that beautiful dime. Stock photos are allowed for Modern Coins after 1980 (I believe). They are not allowed on 1929 Mercs. A seller that makes a living selling on ebay should absolutely know this.

L&C has pushed the boundaries of legitimacy since they sold only raw coins off of a printed list, where a heavily cleaned AU would be magically marketed as Gem BU. Their reputation persists today.

Never mind I got it.

Seller is using the above slabbed coin & sez:
“An attractive example of the grade with excellent details and surfaces. Most images are stock photos since we often have multiple items in stock. We do our best to use images that accurately reflect the stock we have on hand.”
Sloppy business practices. The coin you see is the coin you receive or no thanks.
When ordering a coin you should always call the coin dealer to verify that the coin is still available and that you'll receive the pictured coin. It'll save you a lot of grief and frustration.

It's OK everyone, they also sell bullion.
Geez, that's "scary" !!!
seller fails to provide certification number for coin being sold (stock photo), violating listing policy. Unfortunately with the drop down menu reporting process there is no way to report the specific violation.

Truly sad that sellers stoop to these tactics. Wonder why buyers are so suspicious of seller's integrity. Only takes a few of these sellers to destroy the reputation that honest sellers took years to build.

Stock photo's are totally unacceptable as far as I am concerned. I want the coin pictured....PERIOD!! Actually when I click on an auction and it pops up with 1 of and so many sold I hit the back arrow faster than it takes the guy behind you to honk when the light turns green!
using Stock photos seems to be common practice for some European sellers.
I would be enormously PO'd if I did not receive the coin pictured that I won/ordered....Stock photo's are unacceptable IMO.... either show me the coin or buzz off dude...(or dudette)......Cheers, RickO
Not true with ebay. Ebay does not allow stock pics on older coins. Coin pictured is what ebay says you will get. If not it's a slam dunk SNAD and neg.

I have no problem with a seller using stock photos as long as he says so in his description. As always, caveat emptor---let the buyer beware.

He does list it on his description that the picture shown is not what he will be sending. Of course I can imagine many might miss that. Especially an ailing old man like myself. Is 50+ near 60 old? If not then why the heck do I feel so old every time I wake up?
His answer to my question was that it will NOT be the coin you receive.
You are correct that it will not be the coin you receive if purchased. The picture below was taken on 12-23-17 when I received the coin. I take pictures of the slab for every coin I receive. Seems like a long time to keep a picture for a future Ebay listing. Hmmm.

I would be upset too if I were you, especially if the new buyer isn't paying attention and tries to add it in as inventory in the registry software. Can you imagine the surprise on his or her face to receive a challenge to transfer of ownership?
Fine print, sorry, not good enough, especially for a non-generic. .
Agree that small print hidden it a lot of verbiage is unacceptable.
