eBay question

What happens if you find a coin that is EGREGIOUSLY underpriced on a BIN?

I would THINK they could cancel the sale...but ...who knows?

Dang coins. >:)

    Buy it, then depending on how you feel either tell the seller you bought it to protect them and tell them what it's actually worth or don't and hope that they actually ship it.

    They can always cancel the sale, but eBay gives them a strike if there is not a valid reason.

    By the way, I have no idea how many eBay "strikes" it takes before you are out.

    It's strange. Major player and too many contradictions on their page.

    I'm sure it would be a real hassle. :D

    There are a lot of counterfeits sold on ebay where a buyer thinks they are getting a bargain.

    Bought a couple to save friends and emailed them to cancel and relist at right price.
    BTW there are no strikes against the seller if the buyer requests the cancel.

    Maybe a cut-and-paste mistake in the title or the description. Or the wrong template. Or the wrong photos. Or they mistakenly clicked "sell similar".

    Lots of ways to screw-up an ebay listing.

    I had someone sell me a WWII era designated cameo Lincoln for $150 that was worth about $500. I quickly flipped it for a nice little profit.

    I contacted them asking how they can sell a coin that is in a major auction later this month, and got this (not sure what it means)....

    APMEX ok for bullion - I continue to buy from them.
    APMEX messed up for coins - I won't buy from them.

    If you change the title of your thread to include APMEX you will get some further feedback from people who have dealt with their nonsense.
