Home U.S. Coin Forum

Let's add some credibility

Several forum members here sell on Ebay. While there is always a credibility issue with Ebay sellers, particularly on raw coins, how about this?

The ethics found on members of this forum exceeds those found in the general population of coin sellers on Ebay (with minor exceptions). How about creating a list of forum members who sell on Ebay, including if they sell raw or slabbed, and a few words of what, if anything, they specialize in.

I for one, would feel more comfortable accepting the Ebay description of a fellow forum member over that of an unknown Ebay seller, everything else being equal. Especially with raw coins.

Do others agree?

    Usually I offer a coin to a member via PM or on the Buy Sell Trade forumn first if it is a "Forum Quality" coin. If no members want the coin it goes to eBay. Usually these are Mercury Dimes graded by PCGS. A few Raw coins have been tried with Very Poor results. Now I just keep the raw coins for myself. image

  • If we can get a fairly complete list, I'll put it together and post it all together in one spreadsheet for all.

    I specialize in liquidating coins at a loss while generating revenue for eBay and it's evil adopted child PayPal.

    Divulging my eBay ID would be a disservice to the nice people on eBay who expect to buy at below market prices.

    NJCollector I used to think like that too but with 10,000 members here and a recent threads where several members mentioned scumbag sellers that wouldn't honor his auctions plus all the AT junk sellers that come here and everybody jumps to their defense I don't give special consideration for ANYBODY.
    Just because somebody is registered to post on this board doesn't mean anything and that they won't rip you off.
    Course there is a few of you that I know & like and you know who you are that get special consideration but they are few & far between.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    lol, you summed up most of my Ebay selling experiences in less words than I could Relayer.
    I'm an infrequent Ebay seller but have half a dozen coins on there now (pth77).
