What about eBay? - Page 6

I like to usea money order because i have the receipt to show that i actually paid for it, also i do not give bank information on the internet,
Another dealer e-mailed me back and said yes to a money order .When i
get a positive yes on money order i put in a file under e-bay money orders, this way if i win a bid or buy it now i have proof of the transaction. And last i dont think its right to be told you must or should use pay pal in this situation.

I'm certainly not trying to convince anyone to use any particular method of payment. It's good that there are different choices for different styles.

But I do want to note that paypal emails you a receipt, and a transaction number, etc., and so one has a receipt with any payment made.

I just like being able to pay for an item 30 seconds after winning an auction, without having to go to a bank, or writing a check, or using a stamp, or whatever.

But, hey, to each his/her own.

I agree a 100% whatever a person is comfortable with .

SNDMN59, if you collect Lincoln Cents, you can add Numiscent as one more to your list of eBay Sellers who accept Money Orders. I will always prefer a money order over Paypal, and gladly welcome forum members! There's nothing I enjoy more than spiting eBay/Paypal's nazi payment method policy.

Ebays fees are about the same, let's see, you can run an auction for well under the cost of a classified ad, but the classified ad doesn't take a final value fee. But then again the classified ad does not have a circulation of 54 million (the # of registered ebayers, last # I have heard) And how many times might you have to run the ad before it finally gets noticed and sells? Don't forget that you don't have to pay rent or utilities like you would for a brick & mortar store. I too used to think that the fees were a bit excessive, and then I realized they aren't too bad at all. Just my 2 cents.

Boss:excellent point. If we buy off Teletrade we pay 15% buyers fee and 8%ish sales tax. Does ebay/paypal fees exceed that. Understandably, the online auctions only sell slabbed coins.

A powerseller on ebay..Nearly 2000 transactions... 99.8% positive.feedback. [U]AAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!.................
This listing is for : XRARE 1941-S Jefferson nickel Large S CPG 024.5.....SUPER RARE only[U]9 to 16 known @ time of publication.[U] This power seller also says Cherry Picker lists it as URS 5 with only9 to 16 known......It's the only one the seller has come across in DECADES. NGC POP in MS64 is 155 w/ 35 higher-- PCGS POP (MS64) is (about)165 w/ 35 higher. I choked when I read about the counterfeit DBC's. I found it hard to believe also that someone paid $1700.00 for another FAKE. But now I'm a believer. I'm a nickel nut and this got me so riled up that I shook. This is beyond belief. ..............This listing lasts for another 2 weeks. PM me for a link to this (another) .....outright theivery................BONEHEAD

I have had direct problems as a seller. The buyer can use a card, paypal will say your money is in, you send the item out, buyer takes back CC payment. Paypal takes the money back out of your account. Your out the coin. Your out the payment. FYI: This is not something I heard of happening to someone. This happened to me. The buyer in fact did it to three of us at the same time. Paypal is only in paypals interest. Just another way for ebay to get more money. Paypal after days of phone arguments and more, did finally give in.
But they did make sure I understood they were under NO obligation to do it, and showed me in print where it was written. Luckily it was a very cheap coin I learned this on.

As a seller, I always preferred MO over paypal. Save 5%? Any day of the week, TY.

I answered a topic about e-bay awhile awhile back. I want to say again file all of your responses . As i said befoere i always ask about a postal order before i buy or bid . A week ago I do as I usually do. Sent postal mpney order as agrred on . etc. It took 4 days to get mailing address. finaly i sent the payment agreed on . I waited and they never showed up, he said he did not receive payment. He then contacted e-bay complaining
about the payment. This person started cutting me down etc. So i sent about 7 e-mails including postal order # etc. And where he agrred to acceppt the payment. Well the strike alert was removed and the person does not sell on e-bay any longer it was only $ 5.00 transaction including shipping . Ido not know if i will get a refund or not . But that is not the point , i was scammed and this person paid the price . SO again
dave all e-mails, i keep mine until i am pleased with the purchase .

eBay is flawed and paypal is a rip-off for the seller. I love paying with paypal but I hate receiving payment that way

so I suppose I'm a hypocrite.

Money order are good. Selling Fees are High on ebay to me. Forums and Craiglist or the new Ebays knock off http://detroit.kijiji.com/ is good its free

eBay can be a tricky place to buy coins. I generally prefer seeing the coins in person (please don't send me any more coins, Littleton, just because I said that! Overpriced *##@#$@

).

I ordered two cameo proofs of the 2008 Jefferson Nickel. They were both put into one plastic 2x2 with tape in the middle to prevent the coins from leaving. Well, of course, the proofs were all stuck on the tape, essentially wrecking them. Unbelievable. I learned a lesson though, always make sure to know how items will be shipped before you buy. Ah well. Was for a cheap price anyhow, but still a loss on my part.
