Message:: [QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 1411316, member: 25270"]Lately I've had a streak of buying coins on eBay and then finding there's a problem with them when they arrive, and it's usually my fault. I tend to browse the listings quickly and then when I see a date I'm looking for put in a bid with only a glance at the photo, and I've been getting burned. Today I got a lot that was advertised as a 1988 and 1991 Australian 10 cent, and I needed the 1991. It arrived and it was a 1981 instead. I looked back at the photo and it was obviously 1981. Since no one knows how to type anymore, I don't know why I take their word for it. On other ones, I assume that if the seller only shows one side of the coin, they'd surely tell me if there was something wrong on the other side, so I don't ask. Then the coin arrives and the other side is totally green. Yes, these sellers should pay more attention to what they're doing and be honest in their listings, but I'm really failing to do my due diligence and that's what makes it frustrating.[/QUOTE]
