Re: Are any members of the forum collecting coins from eBay?
Speaking from the point of view of an early type coin collector, I bought 75 % of my coins from ebay as recently as 2002. Now it's less than 5 %. There is just nothing but overpriced grabage on there as far as type coins go. I'm sick and tired of seeing big dealers retailing low-end slabbed type for 40% over Ask, like they… -
Re: eBay & Paypal Auction Cancel Question - PLEASE HELP!
<< <i>I had to cancel a Southwest Airplanes flight recently and instead of a refund received a credit for the original purchase amount for later airfare. I listed this credit on eBay last night and received an email mid-day today saying it was canceled as it was prohibited to sell Southwest credits on eBay. Upon checking… -
Re: .
I guess I just have to be the bad guy here, but I couldn't disgaree more...I've found him to be difficult and frustrating to the point that I had to block him on IM just to remind myself. I have a local dealer who agrees completely and frequents this board; he was just telling me last week how he is totally done dealing… -
Re: I don't know...maybe it can't be fixed
Mike; First, let me say thanks for your hard work to thwart these crooks. It sounds like you have had more than a modicum of success. And you're right. If enough people make enough noise, authorities will respond. But, they don't make it easy. At least per my experience. I was victimized by a scammer in RI. Not trimming.… -
Re: PLEASE HELP! Do coins actually have a grade? A GRADE - NOT A VALUE!
I could tear the OP apart, but all it would do would be to start another fight. Like it or not these factors lower or limit how high the grade can be. * strike * luster * number of surface marks * rub * damage beyond normal wear and tear The first two can keep a mark-free, straight from the dies coin from grading any… -

Re: Shipping charge includes 65 cents for gas...
Well, today eBay customer support ruled in my favor, so I got back my costs including shipping. When I saw the seller's full name, it gave me a mild shock. The seller, Tom Yriarte, has a brother named Rodney. Three years ago, I won a 1971 OPC #709 Baylor/Baker rookie from Rodney for a very reasonable price of $150. I pay… -
Re: Here's how you deal with ebay non-paying bidders
<< <i>I find the story hard to believe because the deadbeat bidder lady didn't make "payback" send a deposit or pay in full via PayPal in order to have them committed to showing up at the show. Shelling out $620 on a promise from a stranger to meet her at the show requires too much trust and faith in humanity and she ain't… -

Re: Ignore
Clackamas, If you exceeded a return window becasue you were out of town, that was strictly your responsibility. If that was going to be an issue it had to be stated up front with the seller. I have found ebay sellers less and less willing to allow returns unless they explicitly state so in the auction policies. It is…
