[QUOTE="bzcollektor, post: 215944, member: 3241"]Ebay is not a problem. I have been buying and selling since 1999. I have both bought and sold coins well into the 4 figures. Some things for the newbies. #1 If a $2000 coin is only being bid and sold for $73 it is a fake (China) and everbody but you knows it. #2 Fuzzy pictures equal a fuzzy coin. They can claim "my scanner/camera doesn`t show the coin" or " I don`t know how to take pictures" BS and BS again. If you are selling a coin for more than $5, you know how to take picures and or scan. STAY AWAY from fuzzy picture sellers. ALL their pictures are as fuzzy as the "OPINION" of the grade they give. #3 Yes Feedback counts. Know how to read it. Look at feedback left by sellers, as well as the feedback recieved. #4 DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!! YES you can find a $1200 coin for $300 if you know your varieties and can do basic grading with a good pic! #5 Only buy from ebay sellers that have a return policy. "NO QUESTIONS ASKED IF UNOPENED BY BUYER" is preferable. 7-10 days return is normal. #6 DO NOT BE AFRAID TO CONTACT THE SELLER IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM!!!!!! emails sent through Ebays "contact the seller" option is preferable as ebay has a record of it. (they won`t admit to it, but they have a record of EVERYTHING for years and their records can be enforced by a court order if need be) #7 PRINT OUT EVERYTHING pertaining to both buys and sells, including any emails or questions you have asked or been asked. #8 EXPERIENCE.....

Never send and item to a buyer without insurance (your responsibilty) and Delivery confirmation, Signiture confirmation with higher dollar sales. There are probably a dozen other things to know about ebay, but these are some of the basics. Dealing with PAYPAL is another subject...... Bruce (bzcollektor)[/QUOTE]
