[QUOTE="borgovan, post: 820724, member: 13016"]I have both sold and purchased hundreds of items on eBay. I no longer sell, but I still make purchases. I am happy with 90+% of my purchases. Why am I happy?: * I usually only make purchases with good photos. * I usually only make purchases from sellers with long feedback histories that are positive. * I use toolhaus.org to check a seller's history * I do not purchase coins or groups of coins that require pretty stories to sell them * I set what I want to bid, and bid near the end of the auction, and I never go over my maximum. Alternatively, I use Buy-It-Now or Make an offer options. In the rare cases where I have been unhappy, I have found most sellers to be cooperative. In the cases where I have had uncooperative sellers, I have no problem ramping up pressure via various means until they become cooperative.
