Well now... Reading his notes, I see someone who has had enough of the frivolous and deceitful trade so often encountered on ebay. No nonsense notes... possibly offensive to some...and he is better off without those customers anyway. Cheers, RickO
I can appreciate that more than sellers who post nothing but a listing title and one not so good picture. or the ones who use flowery descriptions to entice. this seller sounds as though they've been swindled a few times and have had it, after all, it is eBay.
This is the only part I find to be an issue

Q.I’d like to return a TPG (PCGS, NGC, ANACS, PMG) certified item
A.Welcome to my BBL List and various other industry blacklists of my choosing (There are FEW exceptions, I have encountered misattributions on more obscure coins that significantly affect value more frequently.That’s legitimate)
"
Threatening to "blacklist" someone for a simple return is a little extreme, being a "roundtable" dealer I would expect that threat to carry some weight. Pictures do not really make an item sight seen. This also would be contradictory to the "Free 30 day returns" in his listings. I understand wanting to curb return abuse but come on.
I’m selling coins and currency to serious buyers who want good deals and don’t need to be coddled the entire way.If that’s you, join the fun.If not, just keep on looking elsewhere because you’re not worth by trouble.
Answers to common questions:
DOMESTIC Shipping is FREE, I still get Questions every single day from folks who can’t seem to figure out the giant FREE SHIPPING Banner on every page.
FOREIGN Shipping:IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE ITEM IN THE QUEUE, WAIT FOR YOUR INVOICE BEFORE PAYING!!!!!!
FOREIGN STARTS AT $13.99, no exceptions, no matter how much you try to convince me you can get a better deal elsewhere.That’s the base cost for an international first class package!That’s the way it is.
I DO COMBINE shipping costs WHEN available.E-delcon countries or known parties, is usually close to base cost. HIGH VALUE ITEMS, USUALLY AROUND $200 or more, or to unknown parties, expect to pay $35.99 for registered or $66.99 for Express Mail Services.
NON “E-DELCON COUNTRIES”:YOUR SHIPPING IS HIGHER BECAUSE OF TRACKING REQUIREMENTS AND IS BASED ON RISK ASSESMENT. See above for basic requirements
Commonly asked questions:
Q. “Is this coin (Insert precious metal here)”
A.You figure it out.If you don’t know what you are looking at, do some research.
Q.Do You Combine Shipping?
A.Can’t you read?
Q. I bought this my mistake, can you cancel?
A.I’ll go ahead and start that unpaid item case for you
Q.I’d like to return a TPG (PCGS, NGC, ANACS, PMG) certified item
A.Welcome to my BBL List and various other industry blacklists of my choosing (There are FEW exceptions, I have encountered misattributions on more obscure coins that significantly affect value more frequently.That’s legitimate
Q.. Why are you so mean?
A. Because a person really develops some think skin after years of putting up with nonsense.I provide Numismatic items at no reserve, with plenty of bargain opportunities, I expect buyers to put forth some effort in taking the time to research the items they are buying.This is a hobby, it’s supposed to be fun.99.999% of folks have that figured out.You can to.
Q.I’d like to return this item because of a genuine issue (Wrong item sent, it happens, nobody’s perfect.There are other real reasons)
A.Go ahead and initiate a return using the returns center, you will receive a label at our cost and be refunded upon receipt AND Inspection.
Q. I’d like to return an item for a frivolous reason (I already had one, my dog/cat/toddler placed an absentee bid).
A.You’d be surprised how many dogs/cats/toddler’s know how to login, search for items that their parents routinely buy, and go through the four step process of placing a bid.You’d be really surprised how many dogs/cats/toddlers seem to know the exact market price of a coin for that matter.Just cut the baloney. Expect a few unkind words if I think your story don’t hold water.
Q.I have a resale license, can you remove the sales tax?
A.For California, ONLY If we have a SIGNED PHYSICAL COPY of your resale card on file and it passes verification and is up to date.
For the new Interstate sales tax.As of February 28, I CANNOT Remove out of state sales tax.That will likely change at some point.Please refer to the Wayfair vs. South Dakota supreme court ruling and it’s repercussions.This issue is big and not easily resolved at the moment.
Q. I’m located outside the US, Why do I not see tracking immediately?
A. Simply put, because of the extra paper work for NON E-Delcon Countries or registered or express mail, we only ship International once or twice a week.Certain countries do not have delivery date parameters and those cause a huge delay for us.Be patient.It’s coming.If you don’t have delivery within 30 days for registered, or two weeks for express, then please notify us.

I've seen his stuff before. Seriously jaded seller based on that description.
Should probably proof read if s/he is going to go that direction...

I think I like this guy!
I appreciate that type of description. Having said that... maybe this dude needs to take an ebay break.

Gone.
It sounds like an experienced seller who is tired of buyer nonsense on eBay.
Why has this listing been zapped?
