<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2881174, member: 36230&quot;]You make a number of excellent points, however...</p><p><br /></p><p>First, feedback does not take the knowledge of the buyer into consideration, and therefore is not an ideal identifier of a good or bad seller. As evidence, simply consider the fact that some of the biggest dreck peddlers on eBay also just happen to have excellent feedback. In addition, there have been excellent small time sellers who have had their ratings ruined by buyer pettiness and/or stupidity, and there are a number of past threads on this very forum that can attest to this fact. Unfortunately, there simply is no across-the-board reliable solve-all when dealing with/on eBay.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your issue with new sellers, you do realize that each and every seller on eBay was new at one time, right? Also, if eBay still withholds funds from new sellers until the buyer is pleased, it could be reasonably argued that dealing with them, in fact, offers an added level of protection. If you would personally prefer to avoid them, that&#039;s your right, but being new to eBay in no way indicates one is new to coins (or any other area), or that they are automatically worthy of being deemed questionable. Oftentimes, simply reading between the lines can give a better feel of a seller (or buyer if the case may be) than relying on unknown others.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
