<p>[QUOTE="Phil Ham, post: 774861, member: 5787"]I've purchased hundreds of coins on ebay with only one bad experience. In that case, it was only a dollar coin and no big deal. I did leave her a negative feedback. As mentioned already, do your research prior to buying. Read the description of the article very closely. The shipping can cost more than the coin so factor that into the equation. Only buy coins with good pics and make sure it is a pic of the real coin. I only buy coins from sellers with feedback ratings over 99% and usually ones with ratings above 99.5%. Also, I only buy from sellers with over 100 transactions. Always give a feedback once you receive and inspect your coin(s). Feedback is a key thing for everyone on ebay. I only buy from sellers that use paypal. If you have to write checks and wait to have them clear, it is a real pain. Also, I pay very quickly via paypal to assure my 100% rating. I would never buy coins from sellers from certain countries (China comes to mind). I like ebay and buy lots of coins and other stuff. I've actually had less success at auctions and coin shows. ebay allows you much more time to look at the pics and read the description. You can also do it from the security of your own home.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
