Re: Starlightexpresso...Is this newbie LEGIT?
Not accepting PayPal doesn't have to necessarily be a red flag. When I first joined ebay it was to sell, and I didn't understand how PayPal worked so I didn't signup for it. I only started with 15 lots though, nothing the size and value of some of these lots. The big red flag in my view is out of the "scammer's handbook" -… -
Re: Heritage is Making everything GOOD...
"Most do not respond to the Forums, for whatever reasons" How about 1. most dealers are pretty busy trying to make a living working on pretty thin margins since the PCGS revolution 2. many dealers are self-employed and don't have time to screw around on the clock 3. this place, i.e. this forum, has a number of people who… -
Re: sjeanblanc, what's up with the opc ryan rookie
Fuzz; I don't want to go into all the ways that PayPal can screw you... there's lots of old threads on that. But, if this scammer did take pack's money, then send an envelope with a Bucky Dent card in it, then Paypal would be under no obligation to refund pack's money because goods had been received. It doesn't matter that… -
Re: What to do? Ebay problem. Help!
This is a real gray area but is my take on it....and it will arguabley stir up the masses.... If paypal is used...a DC is needed to prove delivery. Or they can just file a claim and get the $$$ back anyways. If they pay by any others means and don't pay for insurance....their loss!! (start arguaments here folks)....but 1st… -
Re: Unopened GSA CC boxes on ebay
<< <i>I have bought several of these many years ago. I opened four of these about three weeks ago, and two of them had stickers on them from a dealers inventory type notes. The other two were very nice coins, with one being at least a 65 maybe a six. The two with stickers.......... two of the biggest dogs I've seen. I… -
Re: Whose in the wrong here and what should I do?
You are right and he is wrong. And I don't like his reply and would be suspicious. In 2001 I got screwed after waiting 10 days for a check to clear on an $5G piece. Okay, it was a long time ago and banking practices and technology have improved. I asked my bank how long I needed to wait and was told 7 business days. After… -
Re: 1989 Fleer Bill Ripken Saw Cut
<< <i>What is your opinion on the authenticity of these cards? You had previously mentioned that you werent 100% sure if they were actually factory cut, and you would make more of a determination once you got them and took a closer look. >> Had they been fake in my opinion I would not have sold them. I do know they were… -
Re: Ebay Scam of the Day?!?
<< <i><<He used the same image in his 1880-S Auction that ended last Wednesday.>> So...in other words, he can bend space and time and have two coins in the same place at the same time?!? >> No. He just used the same crappy image in both auctions. He's a NEWB at selling and indicates he's "sorry" he couldn't get a better… -
Re: I took some Barber Quarters to the local B&M this weekend (Photos Added)
My story is a parody. What I am trying to say is this. Shop the coins around and try to get the most fair price. The dealer's offer of 60% of greysheet is very fair, since he has to fork over cash immediately with future work involved in the transaction. On a wholesale level, I often get 75-85% of greysheet after hours or… -
Re: Is There a Way to Permanently Block Certain Keywords on Ebay?
The truly pathetic fact is that this is even necessary. eBay has "reproduction" categories.... but sellers are not required to put copies and fakes in those categories. WTF!!?? Yet eBay feels free to delete my listing of a Q. David Bowers Hallmark holder because I had the name "Hallmark" somewhere in the listing (not in…
