<p>[QUOTE="wcoins, post: 1885204, member: 32035"]This is valid for any "used" merchandise for sale. Cars for example, if you need to sell a used car, and the car has engine and body issues, and you describe the car in the listing as "mint" (to scam someone, or you just didn't notice the tick or the rust), is it really your fault if the buyer didn't notice the defects? Maybe you had no idea that underneath the car there's lots of rust or that the engine had a problem. Same here, maybe you have a coin that looks perfect to you, even though it's not. It's buyer's responsibility to determine condition himself.</p><p><br /></p><p>I only created this thread as a follow-up to the "ebay to ban unsearched rolls" thread.

I never sold any rolls of any kind but I find it weird to ban something that sellers clearly state they don't guarantee in any way. To me it's the same thing: -someone selling a possibly searched roll described as a unsearched -someone selling a possibly cleaned circulated coin as a BU one -someone selling a rusted car as a mint one -someone selling a coin as possibly being gold but not guaranteeing. Sellers will always make mistakes (on purpose or not). It's the buyers that need to wake up and realize that an "unsearched roll" may not be actually be unsearched, or a BU coin might not be BU. Exactly. Let's ban everything cause [I]people is untrained [/I]and don't know what they're buying. Let's write on every pack of cigarettes that smoking is bad, so that adults wh0 thought it may actually do you good know what they're buying. Oh, we already do that. Hope it's not too late.[/QUOTE]
