I have been purchasing coins on ebay for about a year now. I've had some good experiences and some bad experiences. As we all know, ebay can be a scary place to buy and it is chalk full of unethical sellers. Over the last month or so, I've been playing ball on the other side of the field experiencing life as a seller. I am trying to consolidate my collection by selling coins I'm not currently collecting, as well as baseball cards and comic books that I collected many years ago and now have no interest in.
Anyways, I'm starting this thread specifically aimed at coin buyers on ebay. I would like you to list issues that you come across that either bothered you, or really pleased you regarding the purchases of coins on ebay. What can sellers do to improve there service? Also, do you think it beneficial that the seller of a raw coin list his opinion of the grade? or is it better just to photograph it and leave it be? Here are some issues that I've come across as a buyer.
-If the coin is cleaned or damaged, LIST IT! Also take better pictures of the damaged area.
- Take big pictures of multiple angles. If the coin has luster, capture it. If it is lacking luster for the grade, that should also be mentioned.
- Have a grid iron return policy.
to be continued......
by the way. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
