<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1834754, member: 36230"]Unfortunately, the doubt in the buyer's mind is not coming from fact, including from the so-called dealer's he has spoken to, so even though this may be ebay/paypal policy, it does not make it right and/or anything other than theft if followed through on. As for their quoted statement, and if what you say is true (not that I've any reason to doubt you), it is sad that a "knowledgeable third party" can be any schmuck with a storefront and automatically considered to be a knowledgeable professional. I cannot help but to wonder how far this could be taken: would one of the kids that pop in here from time to time claiming to be a dealer be considered an acceptable third party? If a certain CT member followed through with his plans of starting a pre-grading and appraisal service, would his "expert" opinion be good enough? Is it the storefront makes someone knowledgeable, a business license, or perhaps even a DBA?</p><p><br /></p><p>I realize that you're only passing on information and not giving your personal opinion, but if it is worth noting what ebay/paypal requires, it is also worth discussing what qualifications one must have for their opinion to be deemed acceptable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
