<p>[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 2792821, member: 27832"]Yeah, any other little side discussions aside, I agree that it's a good idea not to return counterfeits, <i>especially</i> to a mass seller like the one [USER=71510]@Brett_in_Sacto[/USER] describes. I acknowledge the risk of fraudulent claims on genuine coins, but at some point eBay is on the hook to either make a call of who's lying or make <i>both</i> sides whole and eat the loss. I think there's a good chance that they do that more frequently than we think, and probably more frequently than they burn either legitimate buyers or sellers.</p><p><br /></p><p>eBay does retain the option of disqualifying a buyer for Buyer Protection. I would presume they would do that for someone who makes too many claims, and even more quickly for someone who makes disputed claims against sellers with good records. I was worried at one point that eBay might do that to me, because as a bottom-feeder I did run into a fair number of fraudulent sellers -- but they're apparently <i>really</i> happy with my current activity patterns.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
