<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wolves69, post: 185043, member: 7322&quot;]I looked at the sites listed, but they are lacking by far.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>What is needed is an auction site for and by collectors but backed (at least superficially) by a larger firm.&nbsp; The site needs to be policed well.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m very frustrated with Ebay too.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been a member (buyer) for almost five years.&nbsp; As of late, their policies only favor the seller...especially the power sellers.&nbsp; Here are my specifics:</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; Won and paid for an item.&nbsp; Item never received, and the seller never provided the promised tracking number.&nbsp; Ebay said the issue was between buyer and seller.</p><p><br /></p><p>2.&nbsp; Bid on an item, and 20 min before the end of auction, the buyer pulls the auction.&nbsp; I reported the incident, but received the note that the seller has this right, but when I asked why its not okay for a buyer to pull their bid, they stated its in the rules.</p><p><br /></p><p>3.&nbsp; Ebay is good for non-specific items.&nbsp; They don&#039;t know coins and don&#039;t want to understand (or want to) the complexities of the hobby.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>4.&nbsp; Limited user intervention.&nbsp; Ebay needs to take charges of counterfiets and fakes seriously.&nbsp; Action taken needs to be visible and transparrent.&nbsp; Right now, Ebay doesn&#039;t allow any release of information if action was taken.&nbsp; So, this allows the perps to re-register under a new name.&nbsp; This is bad business.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As I mentioned earlier, the old site was great.&nbsp; They had lots of offerings: both US and foreign, and everyone in the community policed each other.&nbsp; There were numerous foreign sellers, and I never had a problem with any.&nbsp; When I did, the site had its own mediator that resolved any disputes, but this rarely happened.&nbsp; Communication between buyer and seller was superb, and the prices realized were great...depending on the rarity and desirability.&nbsp; Basically, it was a site for collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
