Another eBay "Faux Pas" by a lister who should know better.

These kind of mistakes make me nuts. I wonder why a seller wouldn't go proof-read a listing or at least check the pictures if they're using a template/software that generates the text and the rest of the listing. Just unexcusable, especially for a large and successful firm, though I'm confident the forum apologists will come along to offer the excuses and the e-mails they've sent.

Sellers just need to pay more attention to what they're doing------end of discussion. Man, I feel better now!!!image

    so do you get the 67 pictured, or the 65 in the title?

    hard to tell. i searched the seller's other listings for the Buffalo but there is none. oftentimes it's a simple case of the pictures for two listings getting with the wrong auction. just as often it's a careless seller.

    I like the one where he got a negative for declaring a mistake for selling an 1893CC Morgan in MS63 with a BIN of $1100.00.

    Ouch.

    Why would someone neg someone for an honest mistake? All it gets them is a retaliatory neg.

    well, i assume what happens is that eBay tends to be populated with the "bottom" denominator when it comes to sensible people. a bidder sees the 1949-D/S($500) Jefferson listing, bids on it and then demands to have the pictured coin, the 1938-D/S($1000) Buffalo. i won't sit in judgement of which person of the two is right cause i figure they're both wrong!!!!i simply feel that a seller should be a bit more watchful.

    If he was smart he'd cancel the auction now and relist it.

    PayPal will side with the buyer on this one...if it gets that far. If the item sent is not the item pictured (unless language in the auction states otherwise), the buyer has good recourse through PayPal. Agreed, the seller should fix and relist.

    It stinks all the way 'round... But it really speaks to the need for quality control. Yes, mistakes happen... But you have to watch the store, too.

    I didn't mean to say I "like" the situation... I'm just saying that if a seller is prone to making controllable errors, they need to step back andd evaluate their process. Why invite unneccessary trouble?
