    Victor:
    I am sure that you are one of the good/honest sellers on Ebay, but I have written to Ebay a number of times complaining about bogus/counterfeit coins for sale.
    They give a canned reply, and then I try to contact the buyer, before they pay for the item.
    Two years ago I contacted a buyer about a bogus 1896 S Barber Quarter and suggested that he have the coin certified.
    He replied with !!! and panic. To make a long story short, he never followed up with me and months later I asked how it went. He had sent the coin to ANACS and it came back: "questionable mintmark". Sure, it was in the wrong place.
    No thank you, nothing.
    I saved him a thousand bbucks, and he could have said thanks.

    Thanks, I am. Before selling coins I sold hundreds of dollars worth of auto parts. I used to drag race a turbocharged 1985 Dodge Omni GLH-turbo. It ran 14.6 seconds at 98 MPH in the quarter mile.
    Anyway, due to a complete Moron, I only have one negative feedback. It has affected my rating for years and still affects it.
    Here is how I got the one negative:
    I had a high boost turbo Mopar computer for sale. Right in my seller's page for the item I plainly listed two conditions. First, no Paypal. Second, no sales to Canada. Well some idiot in Canada set up his bidding sniper to win at the last minute. The computer was already sold and this Canadian's sniper program won the bid. The dunce obviously did not read my bid sheet.
    He wanted me to accept Paypal. I said no. He wanted me to ship to Canada. I replied that the terms clearly said no sales to Canada. So he refused to pay. I gave him negative feedback. He did the same to me. Then that fool contacted the second highest bidder and offered to sell the computer to him.
    Not only did the moron never pay for it, he never had it in his possession to resell because I never shipped it.
    Quite a fiasco nevertheless and it still affects my feedback rating today.
