Re: My mistake, my problem?? What would you do?
Paypal sucks. I had a sale going that showed as "pending" in eBay. Two weeks later, the very patient buyer asks whether or not I mailed the product. So, I check PayPal's website and found that it was never pending, it went through two weeks ago. eBay's site had the wrong information. A few apologies and a special trip to… -
Re: I wonder if ebay screwed me in reverse?
As far as can be determined, no listings are being taken down for offering to accept paper payments. On January 15, EBAY claims, such listings will be poofed. ............. Since EBAY claims that about 90% of payments are already PayPal, the change should not be a big deal. Sellers can still accept paper, IF the buyer… -
Re: A possible future regarding the grading industry
<< <i>whenever a company depends on just one person, a single mistake by that person would taint everything regardless of wether it was an isolated event or not. ( e.g Martha steward) >> This applies to whether the company has 50,000 graders or even just one. All mistakes work to tarnish a reputation. The mark of a good… -
Re: Scam Alert (Siren Sound) Scam Alert (Siren Sound) Scam Alert!
<< <i>If you look at the phoenetic spelling of the sellers name, it is Angler. Looks like he may be doing a bit of fishing. >> That's the first thing that caught my eye! He does a couple of regular sales and them tosses the big lure. This is a rip, I'd bet anything on it. The very nature of eBay's setup makes these kinds… -
Re: I've been "BAMBOOZELED" by a con artist
<< <i>How did you get charged back when you had proof of delivery.....that's really really scary! Send a coin, prove delivery and still not gte paid >> My guess is that he sent it without delivery confimation which can be tracked on-line. It was trackable in-house by the Post office so we know it got there, but Paypal will… -

Aalready checked, resealed in almost undetectable modern packs and boxes, sell ! open em up, may be a half tricker in there. that's what keeps ya'll buying them like that no cameo or pr set dealer lets a single set pass his hands (short of being in the mint sealed shipping package itself) WITHOUT already having been… -
Re: A guys auction fighting against Bobby Orr RC fakes.
I must say, eBay has actually done a heck of a job controlling the 1952 Topps Mantle scams after a year of me running my guide. The scams are few and far between now because the vast majority are shut down quickly, that entire market is nearly dead. Only a few scam auctions ended as scheduled, although, I'm guessing those… -
Re: Newbie looking for direction?
Welcome bentasm1 to the boards, coin collecting is like a journey. I started collecting 30 years ago, filling Whitman albums with circulated Indian head and Lincoln cents, then type coins, picked up some books along the way to learn more about the coins I had collected. As my knowledge of coins grew so did my appetite for… -
Re: What are your numismatic predictions for 2006? (a contest!!)
Very interesting topic, thanks for coming up with it. Here are my guesses (I mean predictions): A federal court will determine that the 1933 Double Eagles may be legally owned by private individuals. A recently-found or put-away roll of gem 1901-S quarters will not be announced. eBay will make changes in the coin… -
Re: Network 54: PSA and the BBB???
Why is that dishonest person still pursuing this? As I understand it he claims to have sent PSA a $6000 card and he alleges that PSA lost the card. The problem is that this scammer does not have any proof that his package included the $6000 card. His package contained a group of lesser value cards, which were all returned…
