I'm happy to report that, as of yesterday, the 1940-D nickel has sold; glad to see that things finally worked out for the seller!
Hopefully, the coin is already on the way to its "forever home" and will bring much enjoyment to its new owner.
No worries. I am glad you are satisfied. I don’t think the coin needed any boost from you listing it, coin was nice despite some forum members putting it down as nothing special

You seem preoccupied or obsessed with the coin as it is an old thread a few days ago you are regurgitating like it’s so important to inform us.

I didn’t think it was that big a deal. I knew the coin would sell on its eye appeal. Now if it was a $10,000 coin!!! Whatever suits you. Peace ☮️ my friend, no hard feelings
This has been yet another of Walkerlover’s quagmire threads.
So proud was he that, he had “put his money where his mouth is” that following his misguided purchase but prior to his order cancellation he had the audacity to post the listing photos in the NGC Fatty thread. He just couldn’t wait to have possession and wait to display “his” coin. https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/comment/13642914#Comment_13642914

Their point is that if you want to upgrade coins the way to do it is not posting publicly on a coin forum asking if someone will tell you what the coin is.

It comes down to this - learn to grade yourself.
Up to this point, nothing useful has come out of this thread - the responses given to the OP in good faith were all a waste of time, as were the good faith efforts of the eBay seller to make a sale. As many of us likely foresaw from the beginning, the OP did not follow through on his purchase (or more precisely, he backed out of it). The coin sold on the 6th and was relisted by the seller on the 8th, meaning the OP did not even wait to see the coin in hand, as he had promised.

Much appreciated! There are too many lowballers, tirekickers, and time wasters on eBay and other selling venues lately. I'm glad to see that the seller made a sale in the end.

If you don't like the price or condition, you move on. There is no monetary cost associated with that. You waste a few seconds of your time scrolling.
If you buy items and then return them based on not being able to flip something or not liking the comments on a thread, you cost the seller money. If you buy items and then cancel the sale, you cost the seller the opportunity to sell to someone who would actually buy it (and tie up his inventory while you start threads on the forums).

There is nothing wrong with cancelling a sale upon finding out a material flaw with the coin such as a fingerprint which I missed. The coin was never shipped out and the seller was not harmed contrary to IkesT stating as such
According to your thinking I should have waited to see the coin and wasted time and tying up money only to return it knowing I do not want a coin with a fingerprint. The seller does not need IkesT protection.

The picture did not change from the point that you bought it to the point you canceled the sale.
You used the seller, holding up his inventory, while you also used the forum to do the work you should have done.
The proper thing to do is to look over all the pictures and be sure if you want the coin before clicking buy. Once you have clicked buy, it is on you. The pictures aren't deceiving and the seller did not do anything wrong. Sometimes you have to take responsibility for your mistakes. A few mistakes are the tuition that helps you learn what to do in the future. Instead you took no responsibility and transferred all your mistakes to the seller. And on top of that, you learned nothing from all of this.

My only mistake was posting the coin before buying it and viewing it in hand. But contrary to what you say the sellers inventory was only tied up 1 day. I apologized to the seller and cancelled the sale quickly. How was the seller really harmed. My true intention was to go through with the sale and see the coin in hand.
Most of the remarks were negative from forum members who pointed out minor spotting on the reverse and didn’t compliment the pretty toning and luster on the obverse of the coin, just put down the coin as nothing special. Perhaps they maligned the seller.
I would have returned the coin if after buying it and viewing it in hand,
and then posting it to this forum I was apprised of the fact by some more astute collectors that there was a fingerprint.
The real EBay abusers are the people who tie up the sellers coins for weeks and then return them taking advantage of the return policy, don’t pay for their auction purchases or cancel bids. I did nothing that wrong as insinuated on this forum, just my own judgment was hasty in posting the coin before buying. That was the only “crime” here.

The answer and it’s a big problem for me is to stop adding new coins. I have OCD and for me staying with my small type collection stops me from looking for new coins on EBay and GC etc. Coin acquisition becomes addictive and can take over much of your waking hours tempting you too keep looking for and purchasing coins. So I stopped with the coins I have and will attempt not to buy or sell anymore and just relax and enjoy what I have. That’s my solution.
I'm glad that you've finally admitted that you are not buying coins, and it sounds like that decision is absolutely for the best. Knowing this will prevent Forum members from wasting their time in the future giving unnecessary advice, and if you keep your promise, it will also prevent eBay sellers from wasting their time on purchases that you are unwilling or unable to commit to.

I have no horse in this game, but I want to comment on this. First off, I 100% agree with all the posters here. This is not a genuine approach to post a coin, ask for advice, post in another thread as it belongs to you, buy, cancel, etc.
Here is the reason that you are missing. When a coin is relisted on eBay, the next potential buyer may assume there is a problem with the coin, through no fault of the seller. 1 day or 1 week makes no difference. It does seem clear to me at least that you did not have any intention of buying the coin because of what you saw, you would only want it if it was a cherry-pick or if it was “better” than advertised.
This is not an approval hobby in many ways. The only way to advance in this wonderful hobby is learning and studying without everyone answering for a collector. While almost all of “us” are happy to help with the knowledge we have acquired, the fact that some expect to just be told what to do for “free” with no expectations is a problem and will rub many the wrong way. Anyone willing to put in the work to advance will be met with nothing but help and respect as far as me and as I can tell from a majority of the forum. Just my two cents.

Unfair swipe. Taking a rest from coin buying is a good thing. Has nothing to really do with the issues from the other thread. A low blow that I think is beneath you. Many coin collectors are somewhat addicted but won’t admit it. I have bought several coins from EBay and have some still. I can post pictures if you don’t believe me.
@Walkerlover I think it's time for some serious self-reflection on your part. You've made post after post rationalizing your actions and insisting that other's comments do not apply to you.
