Public Service Announcement: eBay coin poll on eBay

Manorcourtman · June 8, 2004 8:41AM

Just an FYI......On eBay's opening page for coins they have posted a quick poll that you can respond to concerning buying and selling coins on eBay. Here is your choice to let them know about your concerns of scammers and frauds. Maybe if we all express our concerns something may change? Just a thought but if we just sit around and twiddle of thumbs nothing will ever change. Just thought some people might appreciate a heads up. Chris

The last two questions were without a doubt a reason for people to whine on this forum. The % were highest at none and low at other where you could type in terms not to be used for especially sellers! ie; copies, replicas and a ton of others. That trash should be completely removed from the coin category!

Could someone provide a link?

Thanks!

Sorry, it's only for the cool people

I just took the poll. The questions seemed very odd. The poll seemed to be written by someone with a superficial knowledge of coins.

I hope you all get bagged for AT

I took the poll and posted a thread just another day about it:

I saw there were no questions about fraud, bogus sellers or conterfeit coins

judging by the questions, looks like they're looking for ways to upgrade search/listing features.

Question #2 seems a little ambiguous:
Do you believe a coin's "condition" (e.g. MS 60 or Uncirculated) is subjective and without a universal standard?

57%Yes ... 43%No

I took this question to mean Unc vs. Circ "Condition", others may replace the word "condition" with "Grade" ie. MS61 vs. MS62. The question's intent is not very clear to me...

I thought it was a useless survey. Doesn't address any of the real problems with Ebay.

XpipedreamR · June 8, 2004 9:41AM

Apparently it isn't offered to everyone, because I have no such survey on my coins main page or anywhere else

lathmach · June 8, 2004 9:44AM

Garbage.

#2 must be a trick question. MS60 or uncirculated.

It asked who should be excluded, and I typed in you.

Horrible survey, just horrible...

Shamika · June 8, 2004 11:51AM

What the hell? Talk about piss poor! My five year old could develop a better poll!

Agreed. I believe that grading is subjective but I answered No to that question because while it may be subjective there are standards such as when a coin has wear it cannot be MS anything no matter how subjective you look at it.

Read between the lines. Maybe eBay is testing the certification market.

No place for comments either. Waste of time.
