<p>[QUOTE="Old Silver, post: 116511, member: 4686"]We see a lot of postings about bad sellers and/or buyers that we encounter on ebay. Maybe we should list these people and what they have done in one forum location so that viewers can use this as a reference point and be pre-warned. Sort of a "Red Flag" home base.</p><p><br /></p><p>My most recent encounter...... I purchased a coin from a seller who goes by the name <b>wed55santa</b> (wemisswalt@aol.com). I got the coin cheap enough but when he told me the shipping charge (after the auction) I was a little upset. $6 for a $7 coin was a little steep but I figured he used a fast shipment method thus the charge. So much for fast shipping, 2 weeks and still no item or shipping confirmation. I emailed him to inquire and was told that he just hadn't had time to send it yet. I simply replied that 2 weeks was a long time to hold an item that was paid using "buy it now" and paypal but his time his reply was very harsh, sarcastic, and rude and I was told he would ship when he felt like it. It is now going on 3 weeks and still no item, he must be going to hold it a while longer I guess but I know better than send another email.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
