    Like many large sellers, eBay is doing this seller a "favor" by cleaning up their negative feedbacks.

    Most sellers will be told by eBay that negatives can only be removed by court order.

    However I have seen this seller, amongst many, get their negs scrubbed by eBay.

    There has been 2 instances within the past month were negatives were removed.

    These were valid ones too.

    This is NOT an honest seller!!!
    These people are very very creative with their descriptions be very careful buying from them (I recomend that you don't)
    Have been unhappy with 3 seperate purchases from them. I will not use them again.

    I gotta laugh at their police evidence bag full of coin and paper money, lol.

    Anyway, I'd never buy ANYTHING from a dealer that offered those hokey rolls with a piece of junk silver at the end. It throws suspicion on all their offerings.

    I wouldn't purchase from them. I looked at their auctions before and thought wow cool because they were auctioning a cigar box filled with coins found in some old guys cabinet. Thankfully i looked at their other auctions and realized they have several boxes (bonds boxes, cigar boxes etc) full of coins that they found in these odd places. What are the odds of them finding 20 boxes a week in these odd places, then i saw their name and thought yea right they are a coin dealer its not some grandchild that is auctioning off grandpappy hermans treasures.

    I don't have any objection to selling a small collection in a cigar box - it could make a great present for a young collector. I just wish they would list what's in the collection SPECIFICALLY. Not just "100-year-old silver coin".

    And the nonsense of auctioning off uncle Hermann's stash is just that. Why not just call it a beginners coin collection??

    It may not be Ebay doing all the negative wiping. Some sellers threaten and intimidate buyers who leave negative feedback by claiming they can sue them and other false threats, and so get buyers to reverse their feedback. They can only leave a neutral at that point, but it erases the negative. I've had first hand experience at this. And no, they cannot sue a buyer, despite the urban legends.

    Those scam acutions drive me crazy and they are clearly serached through and you wont find anything spectacular, but shame on anyone who purchases one of those lots and is not wise enough to realize what they really are and has the nerve to complain. They do humor me and I love reading the negative feedback from buyers who clearly didn't understand what they were buying.

    The feedback wars are probably the single most entertaining thing about ebay this day and age

    They most certainly are! I love how naive some of the comments are.

    On a side note, while I said this is not an honest seller, they did accept returns on 2 of those 3 purchases (all well under 100) The 3rd would have cost me more in shipping then I had paid out so I kept it.

    @Detecto,

    Who made you the E-Bay police? Is your New Years resolution every year to get this seller? Here is your thread from last year.

    I think you need to be shut down.

    Well, if he joins the CFe Group, he would become a proud member of eBay's self-appointed "coin police."

    I used to think I could save the world. Nowadays I figure I'm doing pretty well if I can keep my own affairs in order.

    You know if you start off with false info, you can reach any conclusion. Straight from eBay

    The other way you can jump to erroneous conclusions is to make unsubstantiated assertions. UHM!?!?!?
