[QUOTE="RaceBannon, post: 1010360, member: 25357"]I was also puzzled by the general negative sentiment towards EBay held by many CT members. I think many people on this forum dislike EBay because they've had a bad experience with it. Many others who post here are very advanced collectors, and numismatists who would much rather see a coin in hand before bidding. I think EBay is a great opportunity for the savvy buyer. There are some great deals to be had, but you have to protect yourself. Look at feedback, and sellers return policies, stay away from sellers who don't offer a full refund within at least 7 days. Pay close attention to the photos of coins, if the photo is lousy or out of focus, stay away. Yes, you have to put up with snipers and shills, but if you follow a few simple rules, you can score great deals. I've won some great coins on EBay.[/QUOTE]
