<p>[QUOTE="Kryptonitecomic, post: 1623226, member: 26784"]I can tell you one thing that is a big driver in running off good sellers on Ebay right now....it's not the fees...it's the buyers and the lack of any protection for sellers. When I see folks on here complaining about Ebay sellers....which is certainly justified at times, I think of the book I could write about how ebay lets buyers screw me over constantly. If you haven't done business with me...believe me when I tell you I am one of the good guys and I always try to do right by my buyers...I don't play games with my auctions, shill bid, end them early etc but no matter how much I do right when a buyer files any kind of complaint no matter how untruthful, no matter how many names they have called me in Ebays message system....Ebay sides with them abound 95% of the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>I sold a Toned Proof Roosevelt dime in an old NGC no line fatty slab. The buyer filled a not as described claim, sent a note to ebay saying I cracked the coin out of the holder, Artificially toned it and then resealed it. Then he started a webpage with images of the coin and my business card and made the same while claims to anyone who would listen. Ebay forced me to refund his money and when I did the claim counted against my seller dashboard score and the buyer never sent the coin back and Ebay told me to go pound sand. The only reason Ebay doesn't go under is that their truly is no viable alternative for some of us to make a living. I could build my own website with no problem but would I get the traffic that Ebay sees? Would my consignors still send me coins to sell for them.....most would not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
