<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 1364177, member: 25270&quot;]I sell some of my duplicate foreign coins on eBay. Nothing big, I just list 100 or so coins, most starting at $1 each. It lets me get rid of my doubles and get some more money for coins. So yesterday a guy contacts me and says he wanted to buy four items I had listed that didn&#039;t sell, but he forgot to bid. It was a total of seven coins consisting of two big British pennies, a large French 10 centimes and 4 large Mexican 20 centavos. Nothing special but all fairly popular coins, and I was selling them for less than $7 shipped. He totaled up the price and even gave me advice on how to ship it (which was annoying but I let it pass). So I said fine, give me your email address and I&#039;ll send a Paypal invoice, and he does, and I do. </p><p><br /></p><p>So then today he replies and says that since we started this transaction through eBay, he thinks we should continue through eBay, though in the future we could go off of eBay. Huh? Whatever. I said if I can figure out how to do it through eBay I will, but I&#039;m annoyed because now I&#039;m looking at paying the fees that I could have avoided by doing it just through Paypal. I looked all around and couldn&#039;t find a way to sell them through eBay without relisting, so I wrote back and said I&#039;ll either have to relist them or you can pay the invoice. Then he writes back with this:</p><p><br /></p><p><i>&quot;You&#039;d just have to run them thru again. But you know I checked the coin catalog on these &amp; their total value comes to $10.20 (in the 2007 world coin catalog [in EF], they could have actually gone down in value) &amp; on coins like these about 50 % of cataloge is all I usually pay. So I guess I&#039;ll just pass on them for now. This might all seem like a waste, but I think we both gained some experience. All the best in your future endeavors.&quot;</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><span style="color: #ff0000">edited</span>? First off, when you buy low value items on eBay, you just accept that you pay more than the book value because the seller has to make something for it to be worth their time. You buy them because you like them or you need them for your collection, not because it&#039;s such a great investment. I can&#039;t be listing auctions for 10 cents. Second of all, I wasn&#039;t looking for a learning experience. I have more than 600 feedbacks as a seller. I don&#039;t know what this guy&#039;s problem is. I refrained from responding with something snotty, but I had to complain to someone.</p><p><br /></p><p>OK, rant complete.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
