    If there's anything that FLEABAY can do to cut fraud--that would help.

    I commented on a clad quarter missing a layer that was DEF "dirt-fished" (metal-detected) up. Priced at $1200. Sad...

    As others have said, you should try changing your browser settings to make all text bigger. That will help you read everything, not just stuff you've typed. There are also fonts that work better for low vision, but setting them up to override what's specified on a page gets complicated.

    I wish you luck on this. One of my big fears is losing enough vision to make reading difficult. I'm not sure how I'd cope with that. :(
    All-caps is fine for short bits of text. As you say, in some cases it's more readable than mixed-case. For sentences and paragraphs, though, mixed-case is easier for nearly everyone to read, because it gives extra cues about sentence structure (as well as proper names, acronyms, and so forth).
    Yeah, there comes a point at which you simply do what you have to do. Just keep in mind that it does make a big difference in how people interpret your posts, and how likely they are to read and understand the whole post.

    Thank you for explaining the reasons for your use of all caps. Now I understand.

    This is how you make your text bigger without shouting at folks.

    Or even bigger.

    How big do you want?

    First it was so he could see. But then how could he see other folks' posts here which aren't in all caps? Then it was arthritis. And carpal tunnel. But the Shift key does not magically trigger some kind of carpal tunnel that all of the other keys don't. And you only need to use it once per sentence. Or don't use uppercase at all - all lowercase is better than all caps. Sorry, I'm not buying it.

    I put him on ignore. Problem: solved.

    It seems to me that there are a BUNCH of "gotcha's" within the folds of eBay and that is why I do not sell on their site. Semper Fi

    I'm a ebay buyer but I have never listed anything to sell and I do not intend to either. I'll be leaving ebay next year there are to many fakes, prices are often time
    outrageous, and negative feedback is often challenged or ignored. My opinion only, no offense intended.

    I only buy a few coins a year from ebay when I am trying to fill a set. Most of my purchases are less than $50. I like Mount Vernon, but they don't have the selection of coins that ebay does. Who owns PayPal? Is it ebay? Some "brilliant" MBA or lawyer has told the owners of ebay how to maximize their income and they have swallowed their line hook, line, and sinker.

    Q: If I wanted to begin listing coins on eBay now - for the FIRST time - could I?

    For those of us who have been on the internet since the 80's and 90's and who used chat rooms. All caps was used to stress a point and for YELLING! So in our heads you are YELLING everything you say. And still today, not typing everything in caps is is considered to be polite, while typing everything in CAPS is considered to be rude.

    That is a different scenario. All USPS parcels come with up to $50 insurance and will reimburse up to $50 for items even if they have addition value . If you pay for additional insurance and under represent the value to save on insurance costs, USPS will deny the claim. In the USPS terms of service it hath been written and thus it be so.

    I don't know why you don't know. I guess it's one of those, "You had to be there" things. ;)

    That's really not true. Priority mail ONLY comes with that and that will be denied generally if it was under reported. Express is the same for 100. General parcels come with 0

    I don't think that word means what you think it means.
