<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 320855, member: 6370&quot;]I have had very few unpleasant experiences on ebay...but I know what to look for and I SEE all the fraud there...I just take very few chances. To date, as a far as I know, I have never been ripped off and never had a problem that wasnt easily resolved when two people act like rational adults, thank god I have never had to deal with some of those children I see who are so wuick to go off. People are nice in general and I am nice back. I have bought great coins there...and met great people. Its a great tool.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sellers always show respect, if they dont, I dont deal.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I dont buy anything that might even remotely look fishy or buy from sellers whose convoluted write-up is 5 pages long with a pic of the coin the size of my thumbnail. Or the &#039;I dont know much about coins but.... but you are going to sell them....no. You know all the scams and idiots...I dont need a guy linking me to all the new idiots using all the old tricks everyday...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I keep lists of known fake dealers and keep it updated</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I study the fakes lists.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If a problem comes up I do not go off on people. Knee jerk, rude, sarcastic, etc...that just makes things worse, stay off ebay if this is you.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have never had a bad mark or given one...or in the end ever WANTED to give one.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have a nice group of favorite sellers, seldom do I add to it but if I take a rare chance on a new seller, it might grow and does.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I dont look for a GREAT DEAL...you they are there, or they are very rare and more likely you will buy a GREAT fake.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I buy from people with liberal return policies. OFten times just by the persons tone in the listing you can tell what type of person they are.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I see fake coins every day on ebay...I used to try to crusade against them...now I just pass them by, the best thing I can do is not give them business, I wont spend my life patroling ebay and running to forums to report the newest fraud I find...that would be 5 times a day!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
