<p>[QUOTE="Blissskr, post: 2891481, member: 34882"]And most coin dealers will include actual photos of the coin only and then seal the coin usually in a flip not a 2x2 so a buyer is getting a clear photo and can see all hairlines, etc. But most do not have a standard policy of a coin being 'unreturnable' if sent to a 3rd party grader and it comes back as not what it was sold as. Such as the coin at hand being sold as proof and comes back as MS, or sold as uncirc and it coming back cleaned, etc. But I certainly support no returns if it's because a buyer is just unhappy with how the coin graded. Unless a dealer guaranteed a certain result which isn't very common anyway. Really though it doesn't matter what the guy puts in his listing as Ebay will force the return no matter what he thinks his policy means whether the coin is removed or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Though I do agree with you about a policy being necessary it's just that they don't really mean anything on Ebay for one.
