<p>[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 1721320, member: 41863"]So everyone should buy items off of ebay by just going off of the title?!? Whats the purpose of the description box then? My description was accurate. First sentence says this is a mixed lot of both 40% and 90%. Second sentence says look at the pictures for actual coins to be received. I didnt hide anything or make anything misleading intentionally. Yes there was room for improvement, but seriously 2 out of the 3 key factors are in my favor (really 4 factors if you include my return policy, which is even more reason to double check what you are buying if there is a clearly stated NO returns). There was a title, a description, and photos. The photos showed what would be received, #1; and #2, my description CLEARLY states BOTH 40% and 90%. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now your point about being unhappy with the coins in hand is in my opinion a little off for this particular case. These coins were listed and pretty certainly bought as bullion junk silver. Now I would warrant a return if it was an 1853 quarter that the pictures didnt really show well, or the buyer just wasnt really happy with, but thats a different scenario entirely from someone not paying attention to an auction and overbidding based on being in a hurry, that desire to 'win', or just being plain ignorant and not reading the entire listing when the first 5 words tell you what you are buying and if the reading skills werent up to par, there were even pictures to double check on.'</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So all of you that are siding with the buyer on this are saying that it is perfectly OK to make bids, win, and pay for an item SOLELY based off of the TITLE without the buyer at least doing some minimal amount of work that is LAID out before them by checking all the rest of the auction and its details?</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me ask you this, how many of you make purchases on ebay SOLELY off of the title and dont open the auction window to make the purchase? None of you, because thats impossible, every single item sold on ebay has to be opened and the buyer typed his price right next to the pictures, there really is not much of an excuse on his part. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]266871.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]266872.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I apologize if I am coming off snide in this thread. Im just not going to be walked all over when it comes to ebay. It may work out for me and it may not. Who knows. I will try my best to do whats right, and stand by my decisions. I made my decision regarding this matter and I am trying to learn a few things. Like I said, this ebay selling as a 'serious hobby enhancer' is new to me, and ive never sold coins on ebay until recently, most of my other items have been bottles or books. So I am open to hearing the other side and mending my methods in the future. At the same time though, im not going to be harangued into conforming with what every one else believes is right whether it be you guys or ebay, I will stick my ground on what i feel is the right thing because thats what matters to me.
