[QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 807067, member: 7957"]I appreciate as much as the next person reporting troublesome sellers. However, why not report the facts Out of his last 199 coins listed, his shipping was $2 - $3 on 181 of them. Further, I will bet you have no idea how he shipped the 16 (2 did not sell) coins he charged higher shipping for. Out of his 14 negatives, 8 are for his failure to combine shipping charges. Not that that excuses his performance, but most his negatives have nothing to do with your complaint. First off, why is it all eBay's problem? Everyone has access to the same info you got. They can make up their own mind. My figuring is 75% of the time I will get what I buy; 20% of the time I will get a bad coin, return it, and get my money back; and 5% of the time I will get hassled (lost at post office or similar) and then get my money back.

Thirdly, the quantity of his neutral/negatives is absolutely meaningless. 14 negatives out of 50,000 is about as good as can be expected. 14 negatives out of 100 and he will be gone.
