Re: eBay Genius Believes I'm Committing Fraud. You Be The Judge.
<< <i>A misunderstanding perhaps... >> I agree. In the past, I have been befuddled seeing the same coin offered at multiple different online venues. And besides, one of the scammers elementary techniques is to rip a photo from Heritage and post as a coin for sale on ebay. And wasn't there an eBay rule that one is not… -
Re: Man! Ebay is Ka-poot! Awwww!
For me, Ebay has not been a profitable venue to sell coins in the last 5 years. Rarely do I place anything for sale on Ebay. With the number of scammers listing coins and the number of home made slabbing companies, a nice coin is hard to sell at a reasonable price. People do not take into consideration a coin graded MS70… -
Re: Ebay payment advise
PoppaJ seems to know what he's talking about and I'm not disputing that...however, I would not do it. Yes, giving out the info to a legit source is no problem, but who's to say this guy in "Switzerland" is a legit source? In the hands of a scammer, info such as that could without a doubt cause a problem, in my opinion.… -
Re: Do You Think Sellers Are Just Greedy, Ignorant Of "Fair Market Value", Or ... ?
Well, Im not a millionaire so I'll try for the maximum profit and why not? Does that make me greedy or a smart "business man"? No, Im not a dealer but why should I leave any money on the table? If someone pays for it then apparently they are satisfied with the price. Both parties happy...whats wrong with that? So if you… -
Re: when a ebayer says "I don't know much about coins"....why is it a "red flag"?
if you check most of the "ignorant" listings they seem to closely pattern each other, a fact which is relevant in terms of what it tells us about human nature. it's human nature to play stupid when we know better and these scammers almost always tip their hand in the manner mentioned by SeaEagleCoins. the Half-Dollar… -
Re: The Reedededge- Bogus "No Reserves" eBay auctions
what a POS company if you ask me. i can't believe they'd spam their customers about their "no reserve" auctions and then pull. not only are they spamming but bold-face lying to boot. bunch of scammers. they obviously have NO respect for the time their customers spend on their auctions - only peddling their garbage for… -
Re: In a non-response to the "Nevermind" threads, I'd just like to say that...
The scammers are out there in the non-digital world too. Anywhere that large sums of money are involved (e.g. real estate!) you can never do too much diligence. However, my recommendation is that if the amount lost is not life-altering, the it’s best to learn and move on. It’s not worth spending weeks, months or years… -
Re: REGISTERED MAIL?
Since registered is used for high value ($800+, insured, and it actually becomes cheaper to use registered), mine are all marked "Return Service Requested Do Not Forward." Scammers like to have them rerouted. I want mine going to the paypal address only or back to me. I have submitted an "intercept" with USPS while en… -
Re: Is this Engelhard worth much?
That's a very common type of bar and it only carries a very modest premium over melt. There was a problem with this style of Engelhard bar where scammers drilled several holes in the ends of these bars to remove silver. The holes were then filled with a lead alloy to hide the theft of silver from the bar. For this reason… -
Re: NARU mistake??
eBay will suspend you for a variety of things. Being a scammer is one of them, of course, but a more mundane offense is forgetting to pay your eBay fees after a warning (or having an expired credit card on file with eBay when they try to take their pound of flesh). It's particularly annoying if you're running auctions when…
