I would not sell a $10k item on eBay when the buyer can screw you so many ways.
Sigh...I don't even know where to start correcting this.
My fees on a $10,000 gold coin listed under bullion are $438 (4.38%).
There are ebay seller protections that don't even exist for returns to the Mint. That "age old advice" is nonsense. You could just as easily say you should never buy a coin with money you wouldn't want to burn because of the non-zero risk of total loss.
You think you could win a fight on eBay against a buyer who is trying to fleece you for 10 grand?
Yes. eBay seller protection is real.
In 29 years and over 100,000 transactions, it's never happened.

Anyone know how many gold are available? Wonder how many people already cancelled.
Cancellations can't happen while orders are processing. I doubt these are cancellations - most likely credit card issues with the initial sale or addtl inventory not released yesterday.

Why can’t they? I’ve called in and canceled an order during the processing stage before.
the silver was available for about 5 seconds and I still couldn't get one even though it was in my cart from yesterday

You have NO RISK in the short term up until delivery. Then you have 7 days return.
Even with an ebay store and reduced fees, making even 2-3k on a 10k investment is 20-30% short term. @coiner said:

Absolute nonsense. 700+ 1 oz gold available and 600+ 1/2 oz gold = all the canceled orders from yesterday

gold is available this morning, silver gone super fast
Was there any silver or did they just re-release the cancelled gold orders?
I saw Silver available, but my screen froze when trying to add to my cart. Then it showed no more available. I was able to order 1 Unc Mint Set, then I was kicked out into a waiting room. As I'm typing, I just received the email than my order for the Unc Mint set was confirmed.
There’s always a chance you got ahold of a mint employee that didn’t know how to do their job. That happens a lot with federal employees unfortunately.

You have more experience here than me so I’ll defer to you then. But all the stories I’ve heard are that sellers are the ones who get screwed on eBay. Don’t hear many stories of buyers getting shafted. Still, I wouldn’t sell a $10k item on eBay. Glad it works for you though.
I also called before on orders in PROCESSING stage and they are NOT able to be cancelled.
you can call whatever you want but you are dead wrong.
The only time you can't cancel an order in processing stage is if it has already moved to preparing for shipping in their backend but still shows processing for you. That is a very small fraction of cases and mainly applies to overnight shipping selection.
You think that 700+ 10z gold and 600+ 1/2 oz gold were available this morning because people can't cancel orders in processing stage? Just ludicrous
Things are going to cool in price over the next few years. for now, we have FOMO. But flippers will get stuck with something few want to own despite low mintage. Average owners will need money and won't find buyers at inflated prices. Would it be fun to own. Maybe a little. But the cost vs value is too large of a spread. But if you got it, enjoy it!
I also called before on orders in PROCESSING stage and they are NOT able to be cancelled.
I canceled one processing this year. How many of us need to testify. As long as it has not gone to fulfillment (processing has many stages) they will cancel.
And, NO, or was not on backorder. I actually had 2 ordered, canceled one while processing and the second one shipped 36 hours later.

I have called a few times in the past few months on orders that are not overnight ship options but have gone into processing status - as do most orders in the time immediately after to several days after ordering.
The USM uses a third party to ship their items - customer service indicates they dont know in what stage the shipper is in (pick/pack, etc) so therefore they cannot cancel the oprder in processing stage - you must wait for shipment and return items after receipt.

eBay’s research tool shows listings that have been paid and shows you the best offer price that was actually accepted. Fees aren’t 10% on an item like this, as has already been pointed out.

I'm not saying is zero risk. But it's risky to send it through the mail and people get shafted on insurance in the mail. EBay has an extra layer of protection, but things can go wrong. The problem is that only the people who had problems scream.
Look at the @mach19 thread that got deleted, if you saw it. He was screaming about getting shafted as the buyer on ebay. But he lost $0. He wasn't praising eBay protections that worked, he was just mad that he had a problem at all.

Yes yes, the 500+ people who's buying groups told them to cancel yesterday and did also jumped through a bunch of hoops and got lucky with a sympathetic rep. You and NJCoin are the same person I take it given your continual denial of reality?
I can assure you im not NJ Coin - can you assure me you arent a newbie who is flipping toys and cards and had a total of 2 experiences cancelling orders with the USM?

Processing doesn't necessarily mean that it's in the hands of the shipper. 2 of us have already agreed that they won't cancel it if it's in the fulfillment stage. But processing is not synonymous with fulfillment.
It really isn't a good look for you to deny all the evidence, including someone who posted a cancelation of this very item.

Because the shipping charge falls off a day or so after they cancel the product.

Not my experience.
I know there has been some discussion of this on the forum already, but as someone who is well under 50 - it is precisely this type of maniacal, dogmatic dedication to one's own delusions that turns a lot of younger people away from coin collecting .
When some old guy is ranting about how he is right and everyone else is wrong about the intrinsic value of a coin issue (or in this case an obviously insane take on how the mint order process works), it helps play a role in making collecting quite unappealing.
I kept the convo to the topic. My experiences over many years. I suppose you dont have the track record of experiences or orders on 100's of products with the USM.

However I've also had them let me cancel, so clearly it is possible, if you get the rights phone representative, or the stars align or whatever.

It has nothing to do with the rep. They sit at a computer and their system tells them whether they can cancel an order or cannot. The only time you cannot cancel, again, is when the order has moved into preparing for shipping in their backend. When this is the case, the order still shows processing on the consumer-facing site but the rep's cancel button is disabled.
Hundreds of people canceled orders in processing stages yesterday. Some could not, because some of the 1/2 oz gold coins had already moved into preparing for shipping stage on the backend. Those folks received shipped notifications late yesterday afternoon.

long time USM customer. 40+ yrs. never had an issue cancelling an order than still said processing. did it this morning no issue. whomever started this "you can't cancel an order that is PROCESSING" is just click baiting. you have to call the 1-800 number patiently wait and speak with a representative. Not some "nice one or sympathetic one".
Have your order number ready all your information and ask to cancel the order.
Be prepared for them and they will do their job. Don't understand why anyone would think differently.

Backorder you can cancel. Not while in Processing stage.> @IAK said:
Absolutely right.. You do not know what you are talking about.
You CANT cancel an order in PROCESSING STAGE.
Yes. I canceled the gold dime I bought during the processing stage due to my buyer backing out of our deal.
BACKORDER status can be cancelled. Orders PROCESSING cannot.
I did it twice yesterday and dozens of times in the last year. Please stop spreading absolute nonsense.
I call BS.
