Don't know what this Ebay seller's problem is

Not without a transaction, at least not any more, right?

Yeah, there's very little in eBay rules and regulations to prevent sellers from shooting themselves in the foot. If the guy's such a delicate flower that he can't tolerate offers on a coin listed with the Best Offer option, he'll most likely just not get sales. I'd say he's probably done you a favor by blocking you.

 

Correct. I had a seller cancel an order refused to give an explanation and got snotty about it when I asked why and I wasn't allowed to leave feedback.

 

This is a constant problem,people don't care about the settings and they leave the offer option on even though they don't want it.if someone makes an offer even a cent lower they consider it an insult and block the person,in other words just another idiot.

 

I figured about $6-7 per coin taking into account silver content and grade. On Numista it was $3.80 for F condition and $11 for UNC.

 

He's a nut.

 

SGS?

 

I have a totally different approach than just about everybody here it seems. If somebody is telling me they don't want my money, whether it's a BIN, OBO, auction bid, whatever, I'm delighted to walk away.

I will never try to coerce or force someone to TAKE my money. My money is green, authentic or it's at least dry from the morning press And I can guarantee that, because of my buying power, there will be other items of similar condition, value, or rarity, for me to spend my money on, with a seller who'll willingly take my hard earned cash.

So to the first seller who has some kind of chip on his/her shoulder, I'll gladly tell them to go piss up a rope.

 

Bingo! @Rushmore, there's your answer. There are plenty of fish in the eBay sea. Just say good riddance to unpleasant sellers.

Oh, and be sure to share their names with us.

 

SGS, or Star Grading Service, was the grading "company" of an Ebay seller who graded his own coins and sold them. Deceptive grades would usually appear on coins, like slabbing old, lightly worn, and possibly cleaned, coins in high MS grades. Most modern items were slabbed MS70 or PF70.

I would advise that you don't buy SGS coins unless you can, first-hand, tell that the coin is worth what you're paying for it, and that it's not cleaned or damaged.

 

thanks! Good advice.

 

His name is mlm07c

 

If I were trying to choose a username under which I'd sell on eBay, and my initials were MLM, I think I'd use something else for a nickname.

 

BTW, SGS was a little worse than that...

They were raided by the local police, FBI, USSS, and I think some other agency because they were running a steal-to-order ring out of the store.

Here's my philosophy on them:

-----LOT OF MS68 GRADED 1881-S MORGAN SILVER DOLLARS----

We recently bought an estate collection of 1881-S Morgan Silver Dollars, all at near melt; we have done the dirty work for you by painstakingly grading these coins over several days! Out of the estimated 500 we bought, 24 of them reached a MS68 grade! Often these lots would go for over $4,000 a piece, but we have broken down these lots into single certified coins to offer them to you at the lowest prices around. For just $850, you can secure your future with these MS68 1881-S Morgans!

Feedback:
Coin has been harshly cleaned with at most XF detail- a1b

The coin was made of tungsten. I tried messaging the seller but he reported me for trying to make a false claim. - b2d

This "MS68" Morgan is uncirculated but has so many hairlines and marks that I wouldn't even give it a MS60. -34bs
This is the grader of those Morgans. These Morgans have been graded to the highest standards around, and we SPECIFICALLY STATE that we guarantee the coin is MS68.

Took it to my local coin shop and was offered $20 for it. The dealer said the coin was whizzed and while it looked like natural luster, it wouldn't even be a MS60. -sdf45g

While the coin seemed prooflike, and my coin was even graded MS68PL, after examining it my coin had a polished field and a frosted head and eagle. Please do not buy from this seller as, when I asked for a refund, he blocked me from buying any other of his items, and even reported me to both Ebay and his lawyer. -dgg5332

I can already see this now.

 

I personally don't think it has anything to do with the seller. I had the exact same thing happen to me with three different sellers, all about the same time, and there is absolutely no way to contact the seller, except THROUGH eBay. I called eBay and spoke to a couple of different people, neither of which could help, but say they can't even contact the seller for you. I had another account, so used it without any problems, as I liked the sellers. When I messaged them (through eBay) about the problem, I never got a reply. The general consensus is that a computer glitch caused the problem, and eBay wasn't willing to spend the time to research and correct the problem, which cheated the seller. Oh well.

 

Yeah, I'm a little suspicious of this one myself. Tungsten is used for faking gold coins, not silver ones.

 

Don't necessarily blame the seller. I recently started selling on ebay after a 6 or 7 year gap and was required to use their latest selling tool instead of the infinitely preferable previous version, which as I pointed out on the previous page sets accept offer as a default, and more importantly sets a default value of 50% of BIN price. The offer is hidden behind a 'more choices' link below the price field, which I initially ignored, as I thought I had set the parameters I wanted. Crucially, it doesn't tell you that you have listed a BIN with best offer until you go to the active listings page. If you don't check your listing at the time, it's quite possible you will never know until you have sold something for half the amount you wanted.

 

Well, the seller IS from Florida...
