<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismania, post: 1885828, member: 28971&quot;]I most certainly do know what I&#039;m talking about.&nbsp; As a matter of fact, it is Paypal policy that the seller provide that tracking, and when you sign up as a seller, you agree to that, and there is no arguing that point, none whatsoever.&nbsp; Yes, I agree, by keeping shipping costs down, increases your bottom line, I get that (basic selling 101), and in a way, think it is the smartest way, BUT, c&#039;mon, out of ALL those who purchase, you just KNOW there are a NUMBER of people that see a transaction w/out tracking, and they are just rubbing their grubby hands, waiting to get the item, so they can file a claim.&nbsp; And with the amount of protection ebay provides the SELLER, well.....</p><p><br /></p><p>Not trying to be offensive, just stating what I know, and have been through (yes, I&#039;ve had a couple &#039;non receipt&#039; claims by shipping cheaply.&nbsp; Now, I charge for shipping simply to provide a tracking number (admittedly, have only sold on ebay half as many items as you have), and my DSR is still a 4.9 for shipping charges.&nbsp; If you&#039;ve shipped 500 or so coins that way, you should consider yourself lucky, as you&#039;ve probably found 500 or so of the honest ones.&nbsp; I merely stated it that way because, yes, like it or not, buyers KNOW they have it ALL over the seller.&nbsp; No, it ISN&#039;T right that sellers have virtually no protection.&nbsp; I certainly hope your luck continues, honestly.</p><p><br /></p><p>To doug444, yes, you are right, I WAS trying to get at the point that selling it here would be MUCH more beneficial to both seller AND buyer (though there is a certain member here I had a verbal agreement with to by more than one coin from me...I went out of my way to have the deal worked out....said member shall remain nameless, but he knows who he is, and it was a great deal for him, which he accepted, then BAM, no word back, not even a simple &#039;I decided not to, but thanks anyway&#039;, like a real gentleman would do (I would have respected that and not thought any less of him), so, there&#039;s a SLIGHT risk involved, but not close to the risks that are brought on by thousands, or tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of buyers of coins, like ebay.&nbsp; Though ebay DOES drive ALOT of potential buyers to your offerings, I would much rather deal &#039;in close quarters&#039;, so to speak.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>edited for bkozak....DON&#039;T think you&#039;ve jinxed yourself, just hope you keep having the same honest buyers you&#039;ve had.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
