Re: 20th Anniversary Coins and Ebay Shill Bidding
The scam of sending boguis second chance offers (sent by scammers, not the seller) is widespread. The last $1,000 plus coin I received one on. The scammers are very good at making the first e-mail look like it is from e-bay. But to get a second chance offer right after the auction for a slabbed coin, when there were 3-4… -
Re: Sell on ebay or Auction house?
Ebay pros: quicker sale, probably less fees than an auction, better idea of what you might get for your coins Ebay cons: much more work (listing auctions/packing/shipping to individual buyers), risk of scammers Auction pros: can't think of any Auction cons: probably higher fees than ebay, wait longer for your money The… -
Re: WI "added" leafs showing up on ebay
Bob Ford got a refund from this seller, thanks in part to the exposure on this board: He said: I assure you I am not a scammer and feel very hurt by the postings at http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&threadid=390870 I did not get this far on ebay by being a scammer. Please understand Honest mistakes… -
Re: Just bought an 89-year-old man's collection - I'm heart-broken
The worst that usually happen to the scammers is the customer asks to return it because it was determined to be fake, whizzed, substantially over-graded or otherwise basically a flat out fraud! What should happen is some type of government and legal action to punish the scammers for the sake of the hobby. A jewelry and… -
Re: An interesting e-mail (following an eBay bid)
1) I would agree english is NOT that person's 1st language. 2) He may not even be in the UK....even though the domain for the email is there 3) I would be VERY wary of this (I wouldn't do it, personally) There was an article last month in the local paper I believe. About an ebay scammer and he talked about what he does,… -
Re: Why Do Most eBay Sellers Shoot Themselves In The Foot??
Often the fuzzy small pictures bring much higher bids than good photos. Why? Because the coins are crapola, and a lot of people like playing fuzzy picture roulette. No returns guarantees the scammer seller can move on and fry more fish. Ebay is a very big ocean. Lousy feedback almost always means lousy coins. Even 100%… -
Just an FYI on Paypal Gift/Payment Owed Transactions for Sellers Protection.
Just because its sent as a Gift or Payment Owed transaction, does not guarantee the funds are going to clear. As many of you know, I contacted "waltscoins" who is now a known scammer on this site about purchasing his 1oz AGE. I sent him a paypal payment owed payment in the amount of $1360. Within hours of sending him the… -
Re: Waverly thread
<< <i>I'm wondering of your 47 posts how many are devoted to Waverly? >> I'll admit I didn't read the original thread, but I'm wondering why it matters, Steve? Seems to me that the undisputed fact is that the seller in question runs a shady operation, and Ken has taken it upon himself to enlighten collectors who aren't… -
Re: ~~~ PSABoards Unofficially Official Birthday Club Thread ~~~
Thanks for the kind words and well wishes Mike. I really do appreciate it. And, great lookin' card there!

Hopefully I'll be able to… -
Re: Ebays like this...you want it, but its like rolling dice
Not all new sellers are scammers---everyone was a new 0 feedback seller at one time or another. At least it appears that the seller has a picture of the coin in hand. I feel less uncomfortable with that type of listing than many of the others I have seen. Mark has it right-i would bid on it if i wanted that coin at this…
