<p>[QUOTE="Douglas, post: 4294, member: 617"]Dave, I'm sure I'm going to get some flak from this, but I hate ePay, heres why. I have been disappointed a few times with some of my purchases, one time I paid with a MO and got nothing, one time I paid by PayPal and inadvertantly hit the pay button twice and that cost me. Unhappy eBay and PayPal customers have no recourse, there is no way of contacting the eBay company or the PayPal company, either by phone or by email or any other way. Another problem I have with eBay is sniping, there are computer programs available that will automatically place a bid with just a few seconds left in the auction. I have been sniped many times. There are people who actually make a living off eBay, get a life and get a job. A lot of sellers (not all) leave something out of their desciption, a nick here, a dent there, a pic that's not close up enough, etc. I have never bid on a coin or even looked at one on eBay, but my gripe on eBay coins is some sellers (again, not all) are not even coin collectors, they buy up everything they can get their hands on and then put up for auction. This practice is not a good one for the Coin Collecting community, all it does is drive up prices and take items out of the hands of people like me. Flame away, I have my asbestos suit on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
