<p>[QUOTE="Deguello, post: 284899, member: 6989"]Color me dumb, but the creation of this rule was to stop the abuse of selling over graded junk, counterfeit currency, and hopefully makes sellers be responsible in their description of coins. I do not think it was in order to single out any one coin grader, squeeze out the competition, or point the finger at any one company as a fraud. While there is a certain level of buyer beware in every sale, this shows eBay is making an attempt to be responsible. You would be ****ed if you went to Sears and purchased a Sony HDTV at top dollar, only to get home and find it is actually a Daewoo. No one would stand for it, and there would be a demand for money back. Just because eBay is online does not mean that there is a separate rule for conducting business. The companies that are going to be hurt are those that engage in scamming the unlearned. Others will eventually rise to the top, in the mean time they have to adjust their business model. Perhaps detailed pictures and a good description would go a long way in moving merchandise. If it is good, word will get out, if it is garbage (*cough* sgs *cough*) that will bear out also. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for the soapbox dissertation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
