<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bzcollektor, post: 279570, member: 3241&quot;]I can`t disagree more GD. Yes it is absolutly Ebays and the ANA`s obligation, duty, and responsibility to protect the general public (often unsophisticated) from fraudsters and crooks. While I personally am of the libertarian point of view, Ebay has a specific obligation to protect all from the fraud that is common knowledge and widespread, and the ANA has a less specific obligation, but an obligation nonetheless just by virtue of the fact that they have &quot;partnered&quot; with Ebay to combat fraud.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your stance that &quot;caveat emptor&quot; or let the buyer beware astounds me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course you know that a growing percentage of the coin collecting populace is naive. These naive and unsophistcated newbies are the future of the whole hobby. For you to say essentially &quot;throw them to the wolves&quot; is astonishing.</p><p><br /></p><p>As you are a moderator here, your opinion carries weight. Of course you have the absolute right of free speech, moderator status notwithstanding.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just think you do a disservice to the hobby, and to the future hobbiests, by your cold attitude about the responsibility of the newbies to know everything before they jump in.</p><p><br /></p><p>I`m old school as well, but dammit, times have changed, and the ability of the online crooks to take advantage of&nbsp; newcomers, as well as some of us not-so-newcomers&nbsp; is so easy,&nbsp; that I can`t agree with your callous attitude.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is my opinion, which, some of you know I freely dispense.................[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
