<p>[QUOTE="NOS, post: 1429829, member: 2098"]I don't know if there are special requirements to have pictures of coins that are listed but it would appear that auctions in general don't require a picture: <a href="http://pages.ebay.com/sellerinformation/news/newlistingrequirements.html#pic" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://pages.ebay.com/sellerinformation/news/newlistingrequirements.html#pic" rel="nofollow">http://pages.ebay.com/sellerinformation/news/newlistingrequirements.html#pic</a></p><p>This will be changing this fall when all auctions will be required to have a picture, though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, to everyone who says the seller was being deceptive and deserves a negative... Anyone who is familiar with the coin business knows how important it is for a buyer to want to know if a coin has been cleaned or not. If the seller knew this why would they intentionally omit this from their listing knowing full well the buyer would see that the coin has been designated as cleaned as soon as they received it? An experienced seller would know the buyer would most-likely want a refund for omitting such an important piece of information. Most sellers would not want to go through the trouble of having the coin returned and having to refund the money to begin with knowing full well this is what most buyers would want to have done. This is why I feel the seller may just be inexperienced with coins, either as a seller or collector.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
