<p>[QUOTE="DoubleDie, post: 585591, member: 10132"]I sell and buy on ebay often. I don't like the fees but the premium I get for the coins makes up for it most of the time. Anyway, I recently sent a buyer 38 mostly cull Indian Cents, and he bid on 8 non-culled cents. The buyer emailed me and I apologized, sent him the correct coins and told him to keep the others.</p><p> </p><p>I have trouble understanding why it's so difficult for people to work out their problems. Why do people have to be such greedy asses? I want to make as much money as I can. I need it for my family. But NO ONE and I mean NO ONE has the right to rip someone off. And you can bash ebay all day long, but they have about as much power to stop con artist on their website as we have of stopping them ourselves.</p><p> </p><p>We must keep trying, but the prisons are full of people like this and the prison's population is growing. The con artist have a philosophy; "If a person is too ignorant and lazy to learn about what they collect, so they know if it's fake or counterfeit, then their ignorance is not my fault." They just don't care what you think and are very self absorbed.</p><p> </p><p>You can take that to the bank. I have spent the last 16 years employed as a prison guard and I know cons. So you can't blame ebay if someone is a con. The ban people all the time, but a new ip and new contact information and their back in business; better yet, just use a friend's contact info and computer. How many times do you think a con can do this and for how many years?</p><p> </p><p>We knowledgeable and caring collectors must help be the watchdogs and keep up the fight to protect our hobby.
