[QUOTE="Silver Striker, post: 138568, member: 1745"]I wonder how long it will be before I get my e-bay nasty gram for this message I left on e-bay forum. I replied to another message in a thread I started noting the persons compaint regarding SGS Grading but I found their positive feedback left for Aboncom. I understand e-bay's unwillingness to do something about Aboncom because of the MONEY they generate for e-bay. They won't even enforce their own code of conduct and rules upon this seller. They don't have to eliminate them from selling just make them comply with their rules. But from what we've seen it's us who get the letter's from e-bay and get kicked out of the forum and be made to sit in the corner. Here is a copy of my post that will probably get deleted. airflow, quick shipping, coin arrived as described, A+ Mar-18-06 18:07 8388227193 Were you a newbie when you made this purchase? Just wondering. Did you actually get an MS70 as the feedback reflects? Or was it given noting the sellers retaliatory neg's to any thing other than a pos? NOT criticizing you here as many new buyers can't afford neg feedbacks. A major concern I have is the seller's comparison (claim) of their grade to that of PCGS as to the coins possible greater value. "Comparable coin grading services (such as PCGS) list an individual 1983 P MS67 WASHINGTON QUARTER at $300!! But this isn't MS67, this is a MS70!!!" The language here suggest that their grading is "COMPARABLE" to that of PCGS! I think we all know what kind of nonsense that is. That whole statement is problematic and in my opinion a problem with this paragraph of e-bay's "Code of Conduct" for Selling Coins & Paper Money on eBay ... • Sellers agree not to knowingly participate in any way in the advertisement, sale or trade of any numismatic material using any deceptive practices including, but not limited to, false or misleading claims of sales scarcity, value, condition or investment potential.
