That's a lot of unhappy people regardless of the rating. 8) Hype, as in "This would be $10 million in MS-65!" when the actual item being sold is NG-0. I don't necessarily exclude new sellers because sometimes there can be some nice coins. BTW, I am one of those people who are fed up with PayPal because of the fees, not the other reasons.
