Re: Ebay delists 9 of my auctions, over $10,000 worth of coins in the last day of the auctions
<< <i> << <i>Russ, Isn't this the message they send? >> That's the message sent to sellers. The message sent to buyers is different, and is used for multiple categories. Russ, NCNE >> Actually, Russ, I don't think that's true in all cases. I had a bunch of Stores listings yanked in mid-October for not having full slab… -
Re: 1959 Topps baseball - official PSA thread
Jim..... You have received some great advice. There is no doubt that you were the recipient of an ebay scam. I have heard about others getting the second chance offers, even some of the buyers from me have contacted me because they were getting second chance offers (which I did not send). The scammers are getting more… -
Re: The darkest time in the coin collecting world...
dorkkarl - Could you expand on your comment, please? I am a 4 month board lurker (this is my first post), and have learned a lot more in the last 4 months than I expected, but this topic is very interesting and I hadn't seen it addressed quite like this until today. I first started to collect in 1978 at the age of 9, and… -
Re: The Dorkkarl Ethics Poll..............
My input, on the ethics thread, in case y'all don't read it, as follows: Let us relax a little, step back and.... Before there were 'Dealers' there were Collectors. The 'Business' is a result of the Customer....the Collector. If the 'Business' shams the Customer, you get what you give. To those 'Dealers' that take offense;… -
Re: Your worst shipping nightmare
One of these posts reminded me of another horror story. This time my early naivete had nothing to do with it. Bought a vintage SGC card from import_export_co. They didn't ship it, didn't ship it, didn't ship it. Kept on stringing me along with reassuring e-mails until PayPal's 30-day chargeback period expired. PayPal was… -
Re: I'm done but not here
<< <i>Sounds like you are looking for excuses. There's still a lot of fun to be had on a shoestring budget. There IS good stuff to be found in change. If you can use crooked ebayers, or the mint as a reason...your heart wasn't in it anyway. >> Listen to the man! I'm in a 'forced to sell' position myself (house purchase)… -
Re: What is GREAT and NOT great about Paypal?
As a buyer, I like using Paypal as it gives me extra protection with a credit card. I always pay my CC balance at the end of each month so I don't pay interest. Also, I have the power of charging back on my CC as a last resort, which I haven't yet had to do fortunately. As a seller, I believe it makes good business sense… -
Re: Migration From Moderns to Bust or Seated Coinage
I’m curious, what about that picture tells you that the coin has been cleaned. Is it the crap around the stars or that it seems to shine without any luster? I don't collect this series, so others will provide a more informed response. But I am certain from those pictures the coin was cleaned. And the first tell is, as you… -
Re: New ebay scam! Prey on the BIN greedy...
I really wish E-Bay would crack down on these shipping scammers. There are so many auctions out there which are for items far below their actual worth, but the seller tries to make up for that by charging an insane amount for shipping. (I.E. item is worth 20 bucks, they sell it for ten but charge 40 for shipping). I think… -
