<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1907625, member: 15309&quot;]That is the inherent problem on E-Bay.&nbsp; They should be concerned equally about protecting both buyers and sellers.&nbsp; They need both for their business model to exist.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Where did you get the statistic that the number of graded on coins up 30%?&nbsp; But let&#039;s assume that it is true, what kind of coins are you talking about?&nbsp; Every year the US Mint pumps out millions of new coins and every year hundreds of thousands of these coins are graded by NGC &amp; PCGS as part of the registry craze.&nbsp; So it wouldn&#039;t surprise me that the total number of graded coins listed on E-Bay has increased.&nbsp; But what about the number of classic (pre 1964) coins listed?&nbsp; What about the total number of sellers?</p><p><br /></p><p>When there is a dispute between a buyer and seller on E-Bay, the goal should be to side with the party who has been wronged, not simply follow a policy that the buyer is always right.&nbsp; That way, anyone who is following the rules, whether buyer or seller, could feel as though E-Bay has their back.&nbsp; Siding with the buyer as a default forces the seller to make a decision.&nbsp; One choice is to stop selling on E-Bay which is bad for buyers and E-Bay.&nbsp; The other is to incorporate the cost of fraud into the price of their coins which is bad for buyers.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>How do you know this guy is a novice?&nbsp; You don&#039;t, plain and simple.&nbsp; This could have been a guy who thought that the price was going to go even higher and had the intention of flipping the coin for a profit.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your post clearly illustrates the sickening type of hand holding that is destroying this country.&nbsp; A guy is too much of an idiot to make responsible decisions on his own, so we as a society must protect him.&nbsp; That is complete and total garbage.&nbsp; If someone is going to enter a volatile investment market without requisite knowledge, then they deserve everything the get, unless they are sold a fraudulent product like AAA rated subprime mortgage backed securities.&nbsp; Wish we could have filed a SNAD for them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
