<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bigdaddyz, post: 159333, member: 6293&quot;]I&#039;d like to add some of my own tips.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>* I&#039;d make sure he had transactions with feedback much more recent than 6 months.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>*in the last month, I&#039;ve reported about 18 fraudulent sellers that were all shut down by ebay. They actually react fairly quickly when you report someone.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>*Look at the shipping, even if the coin says its location is in Oregon, if the shipping says EMS, forget it. They use a hijacked acct from the US but they are in China. The real scam is that paypal allows these people to withdraw the money. They should make them all wait 24hrs or something.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>*Don&#039;t buy US coins that have GBP in front of the price, a lot of chinese sellers funnel their crap through Hong Kong.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>*Never send paypal money to an email address that is at 123.com or 126.com or others like that...chinese.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>*If you buy a coin, don&#039;t pay for it immediately. I wait at least a day. If ebay determines a seller is using a hijacked acct, they will remove the listings. You will not get your money back if they do. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>*The hijacked accts are almost always BuyItNow auctions</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>*Don&#039;t be greedy. If an auction says &quot;I have these dollars but I don&#039;t know anything about them&quot;...you mostly likely are not going to get the good deal you hope for. People word their auctions to take advantage of our greed and confidence that we know more than they do. They try to look dumb hoping we&#039;ll bite. &#039;Found in an attic&#039;, &quot;Estate sale&quot;, old cigar box...most are probably fakes. An &#039;old bank&#039; with some old looking coins in it means he bought an old bank at a yard sale and put a few wheaties or no date buffs in it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>*Be very suspicious of 2nd chance offers. Some people will email you with a msg that &#039;The top bidder of an item you bid on does not want it now, you can have it for $xxx Please send money to my paypal acct at xyz@...</p><p>Make sure its the seller who is contacting you.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>*For new people...A pound of wheat cents is about $1.50 It ain&#039;t worth $9.95 Five pounds of coins sounds like a lot...but its not.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I just hate it when I see these things and I&#039;ve always wanted to list them for people. Maybe it&#039;ll help someone.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Bigdaddyz[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
