[QUOTE="bigdaddyz, post: 159762, member: 6293"]I've had buyer and seller losses. Well, my worst was as a buyer, a $500 money order sent to NC and the guy never delivered and dissappeared. I sold some coins to a guy for about $200 and he paid with paypal. About 3 weeks later, paypal put a hold on my account and said it was someone who's account was used fraudulently...never got it back. I sold 3 coins to a lady who filed a claim saying she never got it. Of course I lost my receipt like an idiot. Paypal gave her money back. I"ve had a couple for $50 or less who just never delivered and then ebay removes them because they did it to several people. I bought 2 morgan's for about $150. The guy sent me package with some wheat cents in it. Paypal says "the seller gave us proof of delivery...we don't help with what's in the package". I really don't like paypal much. Even though I've had over 1000 transaction with them. Maybe delivering only to confirmed address and getting a signature is the secret. That's what I do now.[/QUOTE]
