Re: Has this ever happened to you on eBay?
The problem is though once you open up their e-mail, their program can read that their HTML is downloading on your computer meaning you opened the e-mail. A "cream" list for these scammers are those who at least open up their e-mails...meaning the chances are better you'll then get even more. So don't even open up these… -
Re: Buying autographs Paypal -see want list 80 to 90% Beckett
<< <i>There will always be those who want to buy the best cards for 10% book! Who puts up a list like that and tells everyone that he is buying for third book and if you dont like it stuff it?? You better believe Im going to be all over this guy like brown on crap! I still don't know why this guy is still here, when ebay… -
Re: I'm begging you do not bid all at once!!!
whiskeywagon sent me that same eBay message as dthigpen about the Indiana penny. This is getting to be *really* funny now - getting other people who have no idea what those are suckered into wasting their money creating $500 auctions for near worthless stuff. Anyone know how much it cost him to create an auction with a… -
Re: Funky looking 21-D Mercury
<< <i>I emailed the seller regarding the tooling of the hair. Let's see if he does right and modifies or pulls the listing. >> I e-mailed him as well, and have not heard back. I think this is worse than the Chinese scammers, as this is attracting bids, and the seller has a 2700 rating, giving the apperance of credibility.… -
Re: When a buyer claims card never arrived
This seems like it would be the easiest scam in the world to run on eBay. Buy an expensive card with PayPal, then if delivery was not confirmed, claim it didn't arrive. Get your money back and sell the card. Nice. It's just as hard on an honest buyer, because the seller thinks he's trying to rip him off. Well, maybe not… -
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: Is it possible to somehow open a coin cache and replace the coin?
Yes, it is possible, though difficult with most slabs. There was a dealer (!) that was doing this with the heat sealed ICCS (Canadian) packets. When ANACS relaunched, their early holders were not sealed tightly and a gentle twist could get them open. There was another documented scam with big two holders, where the holders… -
Re: Kudos to an Ebay seller That sold me some Counterfeits
<< <i>Getting duped is a sure fire way to kill one's interest in numismatics. You should send the seller a few real pieces just as a thank you and to encourage him to keep collecting. >> Call me overly suspicious but the seller may have just back tracked knowing he got caught. Maybe he had scammer's remorse or maybe he… -
Re: To block or not to block...
<< <i>I like communication, so an opportunity to respond to an excited collector hoping to score on a venue like eBay (2nd to amazon and a whole bunch of other places ) is nobody I'd block, eh ? Seems like a nice fellow. Maybe not as articulate as some might want, but a willingness to deal and maybe even WIN at the highest… -
Re: Another ebay question - looks fishy
I am going to be blunt. You would be a MORON to go through with this sale. Red flag is a small, hard to see photo on a $600-700.00 card. Walk away flag if cert # is for a different card. Unless seller is willing to send you a large clear scan of the card, do not give him your money. If you go through with the sale and he…
