[QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 717917, member: 18157"]I used to buy quite a bit on eBay before the new "Search Experience" was thrust upon us. I would have to say that 99% of my experiences have been good ones. I overpaid sometimes, but that was my own fault. Things might not go smoothly all the time, but things can be worked out. The few unpleasant experiences have been like this one... I bought a roll of "Gem Uncirculated 1943-s Lincoln Pennies" from a seller for $189. It was a "No Reserve" auction with a $0.50 start price. I got a pretty good price for the roll...no doubt. I paid the Seller, but got a message the next day that he was having a party and someone stole the roll off his desk. I've done business with the guy before and felt sorry for him so I cancelled the transaction...but haven't been able to bid on his auctions since...just doesn't feel right.

I point out that it's likely costing him money not having me bid on his auctions. This is what he wrote back... No, I wouldn't do the same thing...what he's doing is lying and fraud.
