Well, I just had a (sort of) interesting eBay experience.

I bid on, and won, some modern crap from a 3-year member of eBay with 100% feedback. After I paid, but before I received the coins, the guy gets NARU'd.
I emailed him and asked him what's going on, and he replies within 15 minutes and tells me that he works in a hospital with over 1000 employees, and a fellow employee has bid on, and won, items from him in the past. Ebay wants it stopped due to the smell of shill bidding. He says no, and tells them to stick it. They NARU him.
He shipped my coins priority mail, I received them, and everything is again hunky-dory in the world. It was only $115, but I gotta be honest that I was a little nervous for a minute there, since he got NARU'd after receiving payment but before I received my coins.
I think ebay is making a mistake terminating him, especially with all the leeches on there these days.
BTW, his user name is chubberchub if you're curious.

He is a stand up guy and I would have no reservations dealing with him again.
Knowledge is the enemy of fear
I don't understand eBay pitching a fit with a decent seller and turning a deaf ear to the crap out there.
If I recall correctly, a certain madman had a similar experience with someone making bids from his lap top which got him put on the suspension list for a week or so. Ebay takes their shilling enforcement very seriously. Or at least it appears that way!
The name is LEE!
That eBay. Ya gotta love it.
Apropos of the coin posse/aka caca: "The longer he spoke of his honor, the tighter I held to my purse."
Was it a Discover card?
I decided that NARUs of long-time members with high feedback rating are as likely as not to be flukes as anything else.

He notified me when he shipped the coins. He responded to my concern about his NARU in 15 minutes. He packaged everything satisfactorily.
Overall, his communication and the way he conducted himself were outstanding. As a buyer, what else could you ask for?
