<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 2652984, member: 77639&quot;]As a knowledgeable real estate agent said to me when I was selling a house, disclosure is the name of the game.&nbsp; Probably should mention in ads anything that makes the coin less than perfect and state it in non-numismatic terms where possible (i.e. tarnish rather than toning).&nbsp; State it specifically for individual items, and have a general statement as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, you&#039;ll never win with some folks. And for some, you&#039;ll never figure-out their rationale because they don&#039;t have one. Best thing is to have an informal or hidden way of identifying them to other sellers.</p><p><br /></p><p>eBay and Paypal have a difficult task to find a balance when there are disputes between buyers and sellers.&nbsp; I remember the days when sellers used retaliatory feedback or the threat of it in disputes.&nbsp; For some, it was implied in their ads (&quot;We won&#039;t leave feedback until you do&quot;).&nbsp; Balance has probably swung the other way now.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as getting law enforcement involved, it&#039;s probably useless.&nbsp; They&#039;ll either consider it a civil matter or too small to be worth the effort.&nbsp; As far as small claims court is concerned, my understanding is that in many jurisdictions, decisions aren&#039;t binding on defendants unless they agree to it in advance.&nbsp; Or if the decision is binding, the small claims court doesn&#039;t have the authority to evaluate and seize assets of a losing defendant. For a winning plaintiff actually to collect from a reluctant defendant, they have to go regular court, which is expensive and time-consuming.&nbsp; Bringing a small claims action against someone in a different state is probably the height of futility.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
