[QUOTE="TheMont, post: 2477262, member: 80121"]I have had 1,128 transactions on eBay, primarily as a Buyer, and in all those transactions over many years, I have never had to leave a negative feedback. Look at the picture, read the description, and compare the price with other similar coins. Stay away from Sellers that leave little or no description and claim that "they aren't graders, look at the photo." If the price seems to be to good to be true, it probably isn't a good deal. I do check a Seller rating, and it seems that the best deals seem to come from familiar Sellers that I bought from before. There are an incredible number of Sellers on eBay and if they weren't making money they would sell elsewhere. On the other hand, there are Sellers that I sometimes wonder if they are for real. I questioned a Seller onetime about a $14 delivery charge and he e-mailed back that he charged that much to cover eBay and PayPal charges. Needless to say, I did not buy that Sellers item. eBay used to base their charges on selling price only, and it was common to see inflated shipping charges. When they started to include the shipping charge in their fee the shipping fee dropped dramatically (in most cases). Shop smart, compare prices, look at the picture carefully, look at a Sellers or Buyers feedback and you shouldn't have any problems.[/QUOTE]
