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: 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… -
Re: Critical article in Wall Street Journal about 9-11 "death coins"
Did the WSJ donate their profits from writing about this to charity? Papers write about controversial issues, it doesn't matter which side of the issue you're on, you sell papers. PCGS provided a valuable service by certifying actual recovery coins. Without this, every scammer would be selling bogus WTC coins on… -
Re: Hi, I'm a new member here, I would really like some advice on ebay sellers
There is not any "sellers to avoid" list of which I am aware. Scammer type sellers come and go on ebay so any list wouldn't be of great help anyway. The important key to baseball card collecting/investing is to read as much good information as possible to gain as much knowledge as possible. A good place to start is this… -
Re: Sellers, do you offer a COA?
Better to offer something in writing that has your guarantee spelled out with your contact information. When I used to do shows, I had my own business card with the details of my guarantee and my raw autos were sealed with a safety sticker. I also kept a detailed picture file with every auto I sold so if someone tried to…
