<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3237535, member: 19463"]The reason we recommend against eBay is that it is hard to get new people to understand that they are not buying from eBay but from whoever decided to list items for sale on that flea market venue. Some of the sellers are perfect sources and recommended highly. Others are absolute crooks, fools or scammers of all varieties including people selling genuine coins for ten times a reasonable price and stating that they are doing you a favor. eBay, the company, makes no effort to police what goes on on their site as long as sellers deliver merchandise, they don't know or care what that merchandise is. Those of us who have reported crooks have eventually given up because eBay makes money on sales, not on being a watchdog in every field they have listed on their site. eBay is very much like any other flea market type venue. It is entirely up to you to figure out which sellers are which.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
