Message:: [QUOTE="JCro57, post: 3007180, member: 92083"]I am not trying to come off as argumentative, I swear. I am being sincere in my questions here... But what if I did in fact ask him in an email: "Hello, sir. Can you state for the record in this email that it is in fact a type 1, 90% silver quarter?" His response: "ABSOLUTELY! 100%!" Then I receive it, and it is not 90% silver but is clad. What difference would me asking make? According to the positions stated by some on here, I opened it and thus voided my return privilege. Or what if I ask, "Can I return this if when I open it, it is not as advertised?" and he says, "Absolutely! 100%." Then I get it, it is clad, and he says "Well, I know for a fact the one I sent was silver, so you switched it, and my return policy stands! No refund!" What then? As far as I am concerned, it is the seller that needs to be more ironclad in preventing possible fraud. Take the time to have good photos done. I admit eBay is way too easy in their return policy, and fraud exists, but I assure you the Chinese counterfeiters would be in their glory in this hobby if eBay instead bent over backwards to do anything to protect buyers at all cost. Taking good photos of your stuff, with detail and showcasing identifying marks, would solve many problems that sellers face. Many of them are outright terrible.[/QUOTE]
