<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 3404835, member: 92083&quot;]1. Good, clear, closeup HD photos with limited background filler. I also list the REVERSE of the coin as my top photo so it stands out among the others. It makes you want to click on it to see the front. Have at least 3-4 photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Accurate listings, and be honest. If you feel there is toning or has some bag marks, say so. No one trusts swindlers. Some will disagree, but give as detailed a description as possible to limit the buyer&#039;s chances of returning it. It has saved me a few times to win eBay arbitration. So far, all claims for a return (3 in 3 years) have been denied because my descriptions stated issues with coins that the buyer claimed were not listed (all 3 were in the title!!!) </p><p><br /></p><p>3. Use words in the listing the average person would use to look it up, in addition to using terms a purist would look up. For error coins, if it is an off-center coin, use terms like &quot;Mint Error, off center, misstrike&quot; plus the date, mintmark, what specific denomination it is and the series. For example, for a Jefferson nickel, I write &quot;Jefferson nickel 5c.&quot; If you feel it is mint state, write &quot;BU MS uncirculated.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>4. A 14-day return policy (even though you can return things even if the seller has none if the item is damaged or not as described; eBay is very lopsided favoring buyers rather than sellers in disputes)</p><p><br /></p><p>5. Add free shipping.</p><p><br /></p><p>6. Advise peoppe to ask questions, and answer ASAP. Good customer service goes a long way.</p><p><br /></p><p>7. Use proper grammar. People who don&#039;t write well come off as stupid and not trustworthy.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought this error for $22. Look what is sold for, and I believe how I listed it and worded it helped attract attention and the final sale price:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]904168[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>~Joe C.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
