<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Romanvs.Coinicvs, post: 8005283, member: 124974&quot;]I’ve dealt with this dealer. That is my neutral feedback that calls out that he lists in Norway but ships from Bulgaria.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ask yourself this: if he is an honest dealer, then why does he not state right in the listing that he ships from Bulgaria?</p><p><br /></p><p>I asked him this pointedly when he contacted be AFTER my winning bid to tell me my coin was coming from Bulgaria.</p><p><br /></p><p>He refused to answer that. Of course, we all know the answer.</p><p><br /></p><p>I’ve stopped buying all coins from overseas because at least six times in the past three months I have run into sellers listing from one country (Austria, Spain, Norway, England, etc.) but then shipping from (drum roll) Bulgaria.</p><p><br /></p><p>eBay could stop this if they wanted to. They don’t. And vetting a seller does little good, as all from whom I purchased had thousands of feedback comments and 100% ratings.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even trying to stick to US sellers does not always work. I bought a denarius from a seller in Bristow, VA. This was very clearly stated in the listing… Bristow, VA.</p><p><br /></p><p>Item was shipped from Israel. </p><p><br /></p><p>It arrived a month later and was a fake (they showed a real denarius then sent a fake copy).</p><p><br /></p><p>VCoins has its own set of issues (buy one coin, get sent a similar but obviously different coin), so right now I am not buying anywhere (and I am still waiting for this dealer to make good and refund). Code of ethics… right. Caveat emptor.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is off putting, and speaking for myself, it really makes me feel distrust towards coin dealers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
