<p>[QUOTE="FreakyGsMom, post: 518422, member: 17127"]This has definitely opened my eyes to how ebay operates. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I feel really lucky that we haven't had problems before this given the slow/no response of ebay in handling this. I really thought because of the size of ebay and the paypal guarantee you were somewhat protected buying off ebay, that has not proved to be the case. :headbang: I've been a CT stalker for some time reading over G's shoulder and I've read several complaints of sellers that their listings were pulled even "before they could get home from work" due to what they described as honest mistakes. This may be jaded, but I'm thinking <i>power seller status affects the way complaints are handled</i>. It really seems like the bigger the seller, the slower the response :rolling: G and I have both been stuck at home lately, he due to his illness and I've had back to back knee surgeries. I'm <i>still</i> not cleared to drive by my Dr., so we've been passing some time (and battling cabin fever) by shopping for and buying coins on the internet. We're going back to the drawing board and seeing what's out there for coin purchases other than ebay. We bought a coin this week from a site Anthony & Bill recommended, we'll see how that goes. :thumb: Hopefully we'll have a better outcome. <b><u>Thanks for all of your help & support.</u></b> :hug: Now that this is over I'm going to begin work in Excel of a coin inventory database for G. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. :high5:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
