[QUOTE="bzcollektor, post: 159759, member: 3241"]"I've been burned a few times selling items for as little as $200, I sure don't want to lose $5k" You`ve been burned selling "a few times" on ebay? How is that? Perhaps you would like to share the details. I`ve been "burnt" once on ebay, but it was as a buyer. It was only for $120. Sent the seller a USPS money order, didn`t keep the USPS reciept. I never received the coin, but couldn`t prove I sent the USPS Money Order, because I didn`t save the USPS reciept. It was a mistake I made in 2000. One I have not made since. I have bought and sold coins and paper money on ebay with no problem. Many in the $1000-$2000 range. A USPS Money Order (or as many of them under the USPS dollar limit for really hi - dollar items) or a PERSONAL CHECK are the only safest funds. A PERSONAL CHECK held for the more than safe check clearing time of 10 days is actually is the the SAFEST way to receive good funds from a buyer. I am curious as to how you got burnt on ebay. Perhaps you could share some details. We are all ready to hear about crooks on ebay. If you have no specifics to share, then I am not convinced that you have been "burnt"[/QUOTE]
