Re: Strange ebay buyer coincidence - two recent packages returned - Address does not exist? New scam?
Yes this scam has been attempted on me before and eBay cannot do much to detect it. Glad you followed the policy and didn't ship to the new address however it's strange they went ahead with a refund when they weren't going to receive the item unless they just didn't want the credit card to be maxed out. As far as a $50… -
Re: CAC stickers have numbered days. Send in now or forever hold your peace.
The following may be "duh" but it seems there is a lot of continued ignorance surrounding CAC: CAC was established to correct grade inflation that has occured over time by establishing a consistent grading standard to ensure there is a distinction noted for coins that are of better quality within a designated grade level.… -
Re: This Is What's Killing Coin Collecting Hobby!
Prospective coin collectors being discouraged due to the predatory scammers out there is a real problem. A German coin collector basically settled me into the hobby and one of the first things he taught me were about the scams. He also showed me the variety of coins out there to help me develop my interest. I know I… -
Re: What working a Coin Shop retail counter teaches me.
I am not sure what it is, but we are seeing it more on this forum with folks coming on rude, demanding answers and confirmation of a coin they know nothing about. Over on Ebay I am seeing more and more outlandish starting bids for very common circulation cents - like $500 - $1000 or absolutely mis attributed varieties. Now… -
Re: Legitimate PAYPAL chargebacks?
You should have the right proof of delivery - if it's over $250 you need signature confirmation, nothing else will do. If you have that, the only excuse I can think of for a buyer would be "not as described". If he found that it was altered or trimmed, after leaving positive feedback but before the time limit for filing a… -

Re: Im even tempted on this one -- guess the final bid
Here is the trick. They have the coins listed as UNC I won one a few years back....cracked it open...all CIRC/cleaned....and ebay/paypal refunded my purchase since the coins were not UNC. Two can play the game if any of you want to ..... ...not that I recommend this....but you could crack it open...and send ebay pictures… -
Re: Hey! Who's the cornhole that stole my scans and put them on their website?
<< <i>. I'm all about helping folks out but I am out of pocket for all site related expenses. Considering that I'm not even breaking even on the site it would be great if someone else would ask before trying to make a buck off my work. >> I see what your saying. I don't mind about my scans being used. What they're being… -
Re: How can we sell on Ebay any longer?
I've sold online since 1997 with a perfect rating and no prolems until about 4 years ago, right after they changed the rules, I sold a guy a car part, he complained and sent me back a box of doggie doo doo and I got the royal shaft. I don't know what part of that would have been my fault but I haven't sold a card on there… -
Re: How many got an e-mail from E-bay?
<< <i> I rceived it, too. I have NEVER sold a thing on eBay, either! And freebie or not, I don't intend to. Too many horror stories here. Enough to kill my interest. >> That's the sad thing about the internet clearing house for horror stories. I've sold close to 20,000 items on ebay in the past 4 years. I've had a few…
