When is a return policy not a return policy?

This is when:
Feedback must be left first before refund is given.
Oh, sure. It gives a buyer a warm fuzzy to know that you're extorting feedback from them before you'll give them a refund. And if YOU don't perform on the refund request, they gave you a positive already and have little recourse.
I think we've found the seller's equivalent to "feedback hostage taking" here.
Crappy random coin, and a crappy return policy

3 days? Sheesh. Set in stone? Whatever.
Feedback must be left before refund is given? What nonsense.
So you sell as Tuesdaynightcoins? Why not sell these coins under that store also?
I have seen a couple of sellers use the same terms of sale, and have not bid on their coins. The last mistake I made on eBay was winning a common date dime I needed in AU from a seller who called it a key and uses overexposed scans. As soon as I saw the obviously cleaned XF dime and expressed my desire to return it, he asked that we not exchange feedback until I had received my refund. The refund came two weeks later, for less than the winning bid amount, even though I helped the seller have his eBay final value fees refunded. I left him a neutral and got a negative two hours later.
Bidders of coins on eBay need a website similar to resellerratings.com for sellers of computer parts, with ratings more telling than eBay feedback. Positive feedbacks on eBay are devalued. Any fool who pays upon completion of an auction and doesn't complain to the seller seems to get one. Newsweek magazine once asked in their cover story on eBay "where else can someone get praise for an act as mundane as dropping a check into a mailbox?"
