Hi all, Recently I was looking at Mint Errors listed on eBay.. I saw this one item that is clearly a damaged Dime and not a Mint Error I usually don't do this but I sent a message to the seller to tell them that it is not an error And this was their response!... It's either true or they just said it so that I would leave them alone . . . The item is still available for Buy It Know
paddyman98 First off did they pull the ad. Generally when some of the members here on CT crawl under my skin. I enjoy going to eBay to blow off some steam. I am polite I think so. I do the same I send a message to the poster. Informing them that what they have is not what they are claiming it to be. I wish some of my replies were that nice. All I know as a seller when I informed eBay that it is a deceptive ad, they do investigate and if they find out the ad is deceptive they pull it. I have had a few ads no longer posted on eBay. EBay has a deceptive ad policy and will not condone running deceptive ads. Is that ads still up and running? If it is, Let eBay know. They don't know If a add is fraudulent unless someone informs them. And if you're a seller on eBay with a good record they have a tendency to believe you a little more than someone who does not sell with them. USMC60 Believe me my man I've got into some heated conversations with sellers. And eBay.
Now it is. I had received the sellers response and it was still listed for at least 1 more week when I finally created this thread.. I wondered if the seller is a member here on CT and saw my thread
Like the other member said he's probably from community coin. I don't know I usually let the seller know. At one seller to another he is giving honest sellers a bad reputation. And would appreciate it if he pull his add. I don't know is just me I'd like give the seller the opportunity to correct his wrong. And if it continues at least for a couple of days, that's when I reported to eBay.. But at least give the seller the opportunity to do the right thing, and just like your seller he choose not to do the right thing. After a couple of days I would report him.
Most of the raw coins sold on EBay are WAY overpriced. The slabbed stuff is okay but generally at the top of the market. I just buy commons if I buy, try to cherry pick nice circulated examples. That way when the coin comes and it’s junk I don’t have to go through all the hand wringing and return it. I can just smash it into a Bass at the Bass pro shop penny smasher!
BTW find one or two Dealers on EBay call them and deal with them, get a relationship going and buy from them. Don’t drive yourself crazy think of it this way Marine, who would die first in a firefight? Would it be you or jack knob coin guy on EBay. RIP JACK KNOB
