[QUOTE="clembo, post: 283681, member: 8033"]The system seems "good in theory" as it were but there are a lot of stupid and demanding people out there. I haven't sold on ebay in quite a while and the system makes me leery honestly. I did have a screwy experience on Overstock sometime ago that illustrates what a buyers mentality can be. I put a nice Unc 1938-D Buffalo. MS65 no problem. Started the bidding at $20 with a Make It Mine (like Buy It Now) of $30. The Make it Mine has to be at least 1-1/2 times the value of starting bid on Overstock so this is important. I got a few bids then a lady used the MIM for $30. Okay, I send out the invoice. A few days later I get an email from here asking "Where is my nickel". Well, it's in my safe bimbo until I get paid and I give people a lot of time to pay. Get payment finally and ship coin. My feedback comes back as neutral because "the coin was a bit pricey"! Excuse me did I force you to bid? I would have gladly sold that coin for $25 to someone with a brain. Buyers that never sell generally have no clue what a seller goes through. Doesn't matter where you're selling.[/QUOTE]
