Ebay Feedback
This sucks. Newbie user, didnt even bother to email me that they were upset. I know for certain that there is a 1964-D in that set, and I know they were all UNC's. But, I would have given them a refund or replaced the coins they werent happy with if they had just sent me an email.
We work too hard to see a perfect record tarnished. And it always seems like its for a petty reason that someone gets their record ruined.

No it's not. Most ebayers know a neutral is a 'nice' negative. No difference between the two, just a buyer who couldn't or wouldn't pull the neg trigger.

This is true, especially in the context of your other positive, detailed feedback.
Looking at the buyer's other eBay purchases, he seems like someone new to coins -- he bought "unsearched" wheat cents and buffalos, some junk silver, some silver certificates.
I do not block anyone but it is always the newbies that ding you. I seem to attract a lot of new ebayers.

I suppose it is possible that there is a 2007 in the 1997 slot, but I doubt it. I would have given him the benefit of the doubt though and sent him two more.
I know that the 64-D was in there though, so it would have really bothered me to send him another one. But, to protect my feedback, I probably would have done it too.
Ebay just sucks.

as a member of the neutral club, they aren't always nice negatives. mine was for a transaction that didn't go through by no fault of mine nor the buyer. not a positive, not a negative.

The way you present it nothing should've been left. What would the buyers story be? Why would he leave anything?
with newbies, I have found it is best to treat them with kid gloves, I always email them right after I ship and explain to them if there is any problem at all to email me first so I can correct the problem. (before they leave feedback).
What happened to you sucks. As what was said earlier, you can always contact the buyer and see if he will retract the feedback.
hopefully he didn't ding you to bad on your DSR's. one buyer got me last month and dropped my PS discount down to 15% instead of 20%.

Did you know that ebay changed its policy, and that feedback can be changed from neutral to positive? If it bothers you, why not reach out to them, offer to exchange the coins, and ask them to change the ffedback to positive?

I was not aware of that at all. Do you have a link explaining that policy?
"I have not had an issue before and did not realize you can communicate with the seller (I noted this in the feedback). You are correct with the 1964.
The 76, 77, 81, 82 and 83, do not look like they came from an uncirculated set (there is dirt in between the 3, a gouge in the neck of the 82-P, cut across the chin of the 76-D, worn date on the 76-P. I am very happy with the set as noted. The flaws are minor and few. Not sure how some of these were made other than from the transition into the sets. I normally use surgical gloves.
The 1997's are 2007's.
What would you like me to do?"
I think he was expecting all MS70's. I have about 10,000 1976 Mint Sets so I wouldnt have needed to put a "worn" coin in there. My guess is that he doesnt know how to tell the difference between a weak strike and wear.

Anyone that has been in coins for more than a day knows that this hobby has a bunch of fruitloops and dysfunctional collectors. I look at the total number of feedbacks and a neg or 2 in 500 or 3 or 4 in 1000 feedbacks is not a big deal. When Heritage was on ebay they got a lot of negs.

As for the others, it seems he doesn't realize uncirculated coins from Mint sets are not always perfect. The 1981 halves, for instance, are notorious for having that peculiar blast-white appearance to them. And he should know that there weren't any Mint sets produced in 1982 or 83, so naturally those would had to have to come from rolls.
<< <i>Yeah, I sent the revision request and told the guy that I would swap out any of the ones he isnt happy with. And I blocked him from every buying anythign else from me. At least it wasnt a negative, but I am sure he nuked my DSRs too. >>
I think DSRs are all that matters now. One low DSR rating out of 200 and your ship is sunk for top rated seller and anything more than 5% fee rebate. If you have an account manager I'd give him a call and ask what ebay's position is on something like this. --Jerry

Yes, thank you for telling me about that option!
Overall, however, I agree with Pennyannie in that I don't think 100% + Feedback is the Ebay be all & end all. If I see I a neg attached to the seller of something I am interested in, I immediately look to the issue - it is pretty easy to tell if whoever left it is a nut job by their 'claim' - and very easy to tell the same about the seller by their response. The bottom line is that if I want something, I am going to pull the trigger so long as I can be reasonably assured of a good transaction.
