You have other options than to continue utilizing a service with which you&#039;re dissatisfied. </span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000">I believe if you try a &quot;real auction house&quot; you&#039;ll find there&#039;s many more factors for dissatisfaction. The relatively insignificant feedback which you wont promptly receive, along with your funds, coins, or someone to discuss matters when there&#039;s an injustice. There&#039;s quite a list of concerning matters which can&#039;t be resolved when dealing with a &quot;real auction house&quot;. As a 5 figure buyer at same, when the house secretively bought coins for which I&#039;d placed the high bid, and I refused to pay for the remainder until I communicated with a representative, my &quot;privileges&quot; were revoked. A personal contact was never received, only meaningless written threats. </span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"></span><span style="color: #000000"></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000">You can list your coins on eBid for minimal fees, and leave reciprocal feedback, but you&#039;ll quickly realize the advantages of eBay. You can sell on craigslist and in various other venues, use &quot;square&quot; or other alternatives, but I believe eBay will be appreciated.</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000">Before 1999 Yahoo had a great auction site where I sold thousands of items with virtually no problems, having numerous return customers. In my opinion the site was optimum, where I received 100% positive feedback for my considerate efforts. But it appeared that buyers/sellers whined and cheated until auctions were discontinued.</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000">I went to eBay where the sellers cheated, threatened, and promoted the credo &quot;Caveat Emptor&quot;. I just sold/delivered the same products/services as previously on Yahoo, receiving 100% positive feedback, advancing to Silver Preferred Power Seller. The &quot;coup de grace&quot; was when a competitive seller closed 3 of my auctions, and then demanded a discount and free shipping. I informed eBay of the extortive action, and what would transpire in the future. Rather than discount, ship, still receiving negative feedback, as the past buyers feedback history&nbsp; indicated, I apologetically refunded his payment, and took the negative feedback. I lost my Silver level about the time that eBay increased level requirements and fees. </span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000">When dissatisfied, I believe there always are better alternatives, dependent upon importance of numerous factors. I hope you, as I have,&nbsp; locate more desirable choices. </span>:thumb:<span style="color: #000000"></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
