<p>[QUOTE=&quot;silentnviolent, post: 1462799, member: 8797&quot;]I have to agree with you Marshall. I thought using stock photos was against the rules, regardless of whether mention is made that the photo is not of the actual coin being auctioned. </p><p><br /></p><p>I also agree that ricky should have tried to touch base with the seller before giving a neg... but it was revised, so that&#039;s good. </p><p>BTW Ricky, I wonder how you changed it... and here&#039;s why:</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;A while back I bought a coin advertised as a &quot;gold $20 token.&quot; I&#039;d thought it would go for much more and it was newly listed so I put in a bid of $20, laughed a little to myself at how ridiculous that idea was, and forgot about it. I won. I paid. I received... a gold PAINTED disk made, in my estimation, of the same metal they use to make those little toy cap guns. It did not say COPY anywhere and WAS touted as real. I took it with a grain of salt, chalked it up to &#039;education&#039;, left him a NEUTRAL with the simple comment &quot;No gold here, folks!&quot; and forgot..... Until the seller NEGGED me! I went back to try to change my neutral to a neg, but was unable to; I could only respond to his response to my feedback for him. At that time I was only buying, (it was awhile ago obviously, since he was ABLE to leave a negative), and it took a LONG time to get back to 100%. I think it&#039;s the only negative feedback I&#039;ve ever gotten selling OR buying and I just got my &quot;5 year anniversary&quot; email for this account.&nbsp;&nbsp; (I too had a account when I was too young, but my parents were always involved when I made a purchase.)</p><p><br /></p><p>My question to ebay power/top-rated sellers here is: what is worse:&nbsp;&nbsp; A. Getting a negative (regardless of circumstances)</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; or B.&nbsp;&nbsp; All your listings being reported for using stock photos</p><p><br /></p><p>This is an actual question from an inquiring mind.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
