<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 367119, member: 12965&quot;]Ebay doesn&#039;t seem to care so why report it to them? As to no concern to me, I guess if I see someone getting mugged I should turn a blind eye since it&#039;s not me getting mugged? Theft is theft no matter if it&#039;s strong-armed robbery or deceitful sellers on Ebay and while I feel helpless to do anything about it, I at least spoke up and maybe someone will hear my words but I didn&#039;t turn a blind eye!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Like I said in my close, I just wanted to rant about the dishonesty I&#039;ve been witnessing on Ebay and since I don&#039;t have someone in my personal life to rant to that understands coins, I ranted here. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: If the seller had authentic coins, I would have bid on them, if I wanted them, and the fact I was in his store provides intent also. Just because I don&#039;t desire to purchase counterfeit coins being sold as authentic doesn&#039;t preclude me from speaking out about them, if anything, it gives me me a basis for doing so. I see peeps posting questionable coins in here that they bid on and won and everyone says that person has to pay for it even if it is a counterfeit because it&#039;s a contract, that they should have questioned it in the beginning. So why does someone have to fully intend on buying something to say something in here about the seller&#039;s dishonest ways? Did you not read what I said about me taking the time to email the sellers about their coins? I didn&#039;t just look at their coins and pass judgement, I tried to get the seller to correct their listing and I do believe there are many members here who would like to stay away from dishonest/questionable sellers so intending to buy is not a valid reason to not say something about dishonest/questionable sellers.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As to the Half-Cent, I did want to bid on it but I could not compete with the price of a Large Cent so that precluded me from bidding. A 1795 Large Cent is worth more than a 1795 Half-Cent, barring variety issues (if you didn&#039;t know that). It would be like bidding on a 1878-P AU-55 Morgan Silver Dollar being listed &amp; sold as a 1878-CC Morgan and other bidders aren&#039;t aware it isn&#039;t a CC but a P, you can&#039;t compete with the bids.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Pps: My post also shows it is our responsibility to look the coin over carefully prior to bidding, because the seller can make a mistake and improperly list a coin (Half-Cent listing). I have messaged well over a hundred sellers about improperly listed coins and they&#039;ve fixed their listing but the ones I spoke about here didn&#039;t. What does that say about the seller? I leave that up to you to decide but if I made a mistake on a listing, I&#039;d do anything in my power to correct it even if that meant killing the listing and having to pay the 30 cents to relist it properly. If I made the mistake, I pay for it and I am prone to mistakes given how screwed up my time is so it&#039;s bound to happen to me eventually.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
