<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ffrickey, post: 752949, member: 20613&quot;]<b>Ebay buyer&#039;s point of view</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I live in Germany and buy most of my coins on Ebay, so far with no great problem.&nbsp; I&#039;ve learned I have to look out for the notice if French sellers won&#039;t mail outside metropolitan France, but otherwise have had no problem.&nbsp; Ive never bought a slabbed coin (though I have a few my father left me), and anyway European coins are seldom slabbed--this seems to be an obsession with Americans, who only have about 250 years of history to go back to, and compensate by obsession with minute variations in mint states.&nbsp; With a coin from 1750 it&#039;s still a judgement call whether the coin is very fine or extremely fine, but not beyond the capability of ordinary mortals.</p><p><br /></p><p>How bad are the Paypal fees?&nbsp; I know some sellers don&#039;t accept Paypal, and over here one can do direct bank transfers (also from the comfort of one&#039;s living room) as an alternative.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
