Ebay sellers and pvc flips.

I would probably guess 1/3 of the gold coins I buy come in pvc flips. Maybe it doesn't hurt gold, who knows. To give out a neutral which can hurt a seller for this is stupid. You asked the question, don't get upset when you get your answer. Many people are just selling a coin the way they received it. Not worth getting a neutral over.

Because pvc is destructive to coins? Is it ok because it's cheap, or is it wrong to put coins in pvc, period?[/QUOTE]

A few days in transit (at the most) won't make any difference. Lots of sellers won't put the coins in a flip until they're ready to ship it. I've received hundreds of coins in cheap flips, and I've never had a problem with contamination from PVC.

It's a different story if you receive a coin that has active contamination. Otherwise, I think you are being unfair to the seller.

Lol at this point even people that would have found that reasonable will be blocking him for how he's reacted to hearing the truth.

Not to mention we have no proof they're even pvc he just may think they are. If I remember right I believe dan carr uses flips that have some flex to them but has said they aren't pvc

 

His ebay name is atcarroll78

 

Thank you!

Consider yourself blocked!

 

GOOD. any racket you're running, i don't want any part of

 

That was interesting.

 

thanks

 

Well the fact you're okay with being banned from a place of great information and people simply because sellers might use flips that contain PVC shows your true colors.

I've bought thousands of coins from eBay and never once do I remember asking what the coin will ship in.

I'd rather have my coin in a PVC flip than taped to an envelope.

 

And because eBay no longer lets sellers leave non-positive feedback for buyers, you'll never find out if someone is a difficult customer until you run into him yourself... or see a thread like this one.

 

and what, exactly, are my "true colors"? enlighten us, smart guy.

 

Wow. You asked a question but obviously don't like the answers. You seem to be under the impression that if a coin touches a PVC flip it is destroyed, but by your own admission, the coin you received was just fine. PVC flips are still in production and are bought and sold regularly. They are soft and gentle on the coin and are used for short term storage or transportation. It is only long-term storage where you don't want PVC. That's your mistake.

Besides, the coin is the product you bought, not the flip. Leaving a neutral for that is, in fact, out of line. If you are so picky about it, why not ask sellers to ship using a non-PVC flip?

 

Actually, 99.9% of the feedback i left was positive. if i had return issues or wasn't satisfied, i'd leave positive or none, if they made it right. all i did here was ask a question.

 

what, exactly, does feedback do to a seller? perhaps somebody could answer me, instead of screaming "BLOCKED"? It's not the answers i don't like, it's the delivery

 

I answered that on the first page

 

show me the post, i must've missed it

 

"It's not. Unless they changed it (I haven't been paying attention) leaving anything but perfect feedback has an impact on if sellers can get top rated discounts and where their listings appear in search results. In other words you're potentially costing them a lot of money by doing that.

A sellers only defense on eBay is their blocked list"

 

The people here have given you honest answers and all you can do is respond with foul language. What do you expect?

Chris

 

Actually, you have left 6 negative or neutral out of 181 feedback, so about 96.6 percent positive. And there is no way to tell what kind of DSR you have left. If a seller has that feedback, that is terrible. So it is a safe bet to block ya.

 

the negs earned it.
