Some dealers do it on purpose while others just don’t know how to grade correctly.&nbsp; Remember not every dealer works for PCGS or NGC, most of the sellers on ebay are not even part of the PNG or PCGS/ NGC authorized dealers.&nbsp; I sell tokens on ebay, but I am scared to sell UN certified U.S. coins on ebay, because my grading skills are not up to par and I don’t want negative feedbacks because I am still learning to grade correctly.&nbsp; </font></font></p><p><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">As a newer and younger dealer, how do I accommodate buyers when I want to start selling noncertified coins on ebay with regards to grading?&nbsp; I have noticed that many coin sellers on ebay state that they are not a professional grader and that the buyer makes the final decision of the grade from the photos provided.&nbsp; Some sellers also give grade ranges ie: AU-MS, but doesn’t this just contradict the grading practice?&nbsp; When I buy a&nbsp; coin I want to know what the grade might be, not a grade range of AU50-MS62, twelve points is just too much especially with those pieces with big “price jumps” between grades.&nbsp; </font></font></p><p><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Some ebay sellers say that the buyer is the judge, and they don’t accept returns.&nbsp; I stay away from these kinds of people.&nbsp; What do you think?&nbsp; What is the proper practice for ebay sellers who want to sell non-certified U.S. coinage?&nbsp; </font></font></p><p><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Also does a buyer have the right to leave negative feedback on ebay for a seller who sells a coin MS and the buyer sends it into a grading service (one of the big 4) and it comes back AU?&nbsp; Shouldn’t the buyer make the opinion of the grade prior to buying it?&nbsp; I have seen situations where a coin is bought (sold as MS) and the buyer just takes the word that it is MS then they sent it in and it comes back AU and they are mad because they bought a AU coin at MS price, but shouldn’t they have been suspicious that the coin would come back AU in the first place?&nbsp; Another form of crook is the buyer who buys a coin, sends it in to be graded and when the coin comes back graded lower than expectations the coin is cracked out and returned.&nbsp; </font></font></p><p><b><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">“Read the coin, not the label!”</font></font></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
