<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 8779048, member: 21705&quot;]I purchased many coins on eBay and had problems with three. One was a fake and I refused to even send it back because it was not worth the postage. eBay cancelled the purchase when notified and banned the seller (who returned shortly under a different name.)</p><p><br /></p><p>The second was an error by the seller because of a wrong photo. Though it was a slight overpay, I decided to accept it anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>The third was returned and the order cancelled. It seemed&nbsp; like it took a bit to come off of PayPal, but I do not know whether it was eBay or PayPal which cause the delay.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I must say my experience was good overall. However; most of my purchased were of rare varieties which are unlikely to be used by counterfeiters simply because they are rare and a source coin in acceptable condition even rarer for those varieties.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a Hawaiian with much the same protection. It is a heavily counterfeited type because even the originals don&#039;t look professionally prepared. But I chose one of the rarer varieties of that type and the only counterfeits I am aware of are from the two most common varieties.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I also have to credit it with helping me obtain my rarest coin, the reverse of which you see as my icon. I was high bidder, but did nor want to be sniped, so I made an offer of 3 times the price to close the deal in time for Christmas and the seller accepted. I could never see as many coins in my area of specialization without eBays volume. Fortunately I have never had the crazy money that is required to purchase coins that are often faked at higher ends.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
