FYI:Another scam on Ebay...click on the pic and then the sign in page pops up
Ok, Saw a listing on the coin catagory. Nope it wasn't your usual listing.....Clicked on the picture, which should take to you the auction and low and behold, the sign on page pop's up..... I entered the wrong info because of the listing and the sign on screen popping up. Something didn't seem right, and then I was sent to… -
Re: Social Media and Coin Collecting
Facebook marketplace, agree. However there are some really great private numismatic groups on Facebook where the moderators are actively keeping scammers and suspicious accounts out of the group, helping to mediate any issues between buyers and sellers, and vetting all the posts to make sure no counterfeits are being sold… -
Re: Buyer Beware "DickyBetz"
"Could the buyer of an item that was paid for with regular PP file a claim with PP (for whatever reason they choose to)...get all of their money back...and never mail the item back to the seller therefore screwing the seller and the buyer gets all of their money back and keep the item? " Yes. Happens on eBay with… -
Re: Best Auction House?
<< <i>I'm no help. I have never understood the reason for giving your stuff to an auction house as opposed to selling it yourself on ebay or even using an ebay consignor. You lose so much money off the top when going through an auction house. There are so many more eyeballs on ebay. I've really tried to understand this,… -
Re: A Must Read regarding Future Coin Swaps- A Forum for all interested parties
I was also asked for my input, so here's my 1/2 cents worth: I'm not too sure many will go for sending in coins as escrow. But, I think a good insurance would be to verify all members via valid addresses. You provide your address and home phone # to Boom (or whomever is selected for this) a letter is sent to you from Boom… -
Re: Ebay Loser Using Todd's Photo of My Coin!!!
<< <i> Tmoney, aren't you are a YN? I'd hope to see a bit more maturity from you based on your post. I've been involved with coins for 35 years and a dealer for 20 and never heard this type of language from a young numismatist. What a shame! >> Nothing to be ashamed of my friend. You don't take what isn't yours, and if it… -
Re: Damm, can't retract my bid because less than 12 hrs to close
Errors in bidding are inexcusable. They give plenty of time to place a bid and look at it twice and be naughty or nice etc, etc, etc. I hate pulling an auction also, but have had sellers who did it for me because they know I will pay by a MONEY ORDER the same day of the confirmation. I have had to dun bidders until the… -

<< <i>Maybe we could even set up monitoring at his house.............. >> His address is right on his listings and in an earlier post, he invited "us" over to see if he actually has the laboratory "we" say he does. I personally don't care if he tones coins for fun or as a hobby but when you start selling them as the real… -
To PayPal or not to PayPal... that is the question
I have had many dealers tell me that they are no longer taking PayPal due to higher expenses and fees. While I know PayPal has been increasing fees, I think many of these sellers are missing a big point here. Buyers like myself don't use paypal only for the convenience or the easy use of credit cards (although I'm sure… -
Re: The worst eBay bidder ever!!
Due to that cc stuff and other reasons - I won’t list anything over $500 on the bay. Higher $ matl do at shows for cash money ebay fees would eatup up my narrow margin on that higher ticket stuff. Lots of scammers on the bay. I blocked a return bc it was never returned although the buyer said it was. A $175 item they did…
