<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FreakyGsMom, post: 522267, member: 17127&quot;]I just don&#039;t understand ebay. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> This should be easy enough for them to verify just given the info Toad has posted here, but it&#039;s a crapshoot as to whether or not they&#039;ll pull it.&nbsp; They must make enough off of the scammers to overlook things like repeatedly selling counterfeits, coins that are intentionally misattributed as more expensive varieties to be sold and coin doctoring to take place because they don&#039;t seem to do much about it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The coin being doctored isn&#039;t the only thing that&#039;s wrong with this seller.&nbsp; Check out the feedback that he&#039;s left for people that have bought from him.&nbsp; His buyers have stated that he has a nasty little habit of using feedback for extortion. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Check out what he said about a buyer that had the misfortune of buying a fake from him.&nbsp; BTW the buyer has 100% feedback with a total of 117 feedbacks. </p><p><br /></p><ul> <li><span style="color: red"><b><font size="3">-</font></b> </span>Posted on 2/12/09 @ 1742 by a buyer with a feedback rating of (117) &quot;Gave me full refund for counterfeit 14D cent and now it appears to be relisted&quot;.</li> <li>&nbsp; &nbsp; </li> <li>Seriouscoins posted this in response to the feedback from above on the same day 2/12/09 @ 18:45):</li> <li>&quot;SLANDEROUS ACCUSATIONS!!! HORRIBLE PERSON!!! BLOCK THEM!!!!&quot;</li> </ul><p><u>I think this one is the worst of all, it&#039;s feedback posted by seriouscoins for the buyer on 2/12/09 @ 1816</u> (so much for sellers no longer being able to leave negative or neutral feedback for buyers):</p><p><span style="color: GREEN"><b><font size="3">+</font></b></span>&quot;<b><i>NEGATIVE! NEGATIVE! NEGATIVE! NO GOOD PR*CK!!!!!&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; </i></b>&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> WHAT??? Can he say that??? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>:headbang: I guess I&#039;m becoming desensitized with ebay allowing all the fakes to be sold and scams like this one, but I am truly shocked that they allow feedback like this to be posted. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> It seems common on ebay that when the scammer is busted they try to place blame on the buyer. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Most of you are aware that this whole coin collecting thing is new to me, but buying coins isn&#039;t new.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been buying for 7 years for Garrett&#039;s collection. Dishonest sellers are nothing new.&nbsp; Let&#039;s face it, some people are less than honorable, but this is ebay&#039;s playground and they should make the rules and then make everybody play by them.&nbsp; Why don&#039;t they take some initiative, step up to the plate and&nbsp; have their coin sellers adhere to ANA standard practices?&nbsp; They don&#039;t have to go through the trouble of making new rules, they could adopt rules that it seems are pretty much universally accepted by ANA members and dealers. Wouldn&#039;t that resolve the majority of the problems that people (myself included) seem to be continuously battling with ebay over? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />hya: Proud to say we bought 8 coins this week and none were from ebay.&nbsp; :high5: Maybe they&#039;ll listen up if enough people get fed up and it affects their bottom line. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I&#039;m not saying we won&#039;t buy from ebay, but after what we went through they&#039;re no longer my first or second choice when shopping for coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>:whistle: Sorry if I rambled, it&#039;s late and my knee is killing me and I can&#039;t sleep.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
