I found modern silver and pre 65 Washington quarters to be the ones that got returned.
Morgans, virtually never.

Early days of Ebay, I didn't use images, just accurate descriptions. No problem for the first 50 or so coins.
Had a slabbed medium grade 32-d quarter listed and the potential bidder demanded pictures. Got imaging set up and sent him the best I had.
He won and then returned the coin. I learned about tire kickers.
One ounce bullion gold. Yes, some thoughtless individuals use eBay as a "free" (for them) way to "speculate" on the price of gold. Some wait until the last minute to pay, and will cancel if the price of gold goes down.
Bless their hearts.
I have very few returns. No real pattern. In fact, most of my returns are not coins.
Last time I looked at your ebay page you didn't even have any coins for sale.

PAMP specialty stuff in fancy boxes. The boxes can get damaged in shipping. So far this year I have sold 15K items on eBay and only 8 returns.
That's not true and hasn't been for 25 years. The majority is not coins at the moment. There are almost 300 items in coins and paper money for sale, however. That includes 79 items in US coins.
Interesting. I'm not sure what I saw then. I apologize.

Nothing terribly interesting in coins at the moment, however.
As things began to change on eBay we scaled back coin sales. We've done a lot of National Bank Notes and a good amount of Civil War memorabilia and images in the recent past. No way would we sell bullion gold/silver there now; for starters, we don't need to because it's an easy sell in house- but a much larger reason is the fraud potential. Don't need complications- especially on expensive items with small margins.
In response to the OP- what hassles we did have were generally with cheap stuff. I've recounted a few stories elsewhere but a couple involved things like a lot of junk silver dimes bought at roughly 50c per that the buyer picked through and returned demanding a refund plus postage because there weren't any rare dates... or the one with an unopened box of 1970 mint sets that was opened, searched, and a return demanded because there were no small date cents in any of them...

Same as @jmlanzaf , very very few coin returns. In fact, I have not had a coin returned this year.
