<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1010721, member: 112&quot;]There is nothing wrong with ebay itself. The problem is some of, I&#039;d even go so far as to say most, of the sellers. Ebay is not the same place it was 10 years ago, not even 5 years ago. Now there are far more scam artist than there used to be.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, as to how to use ebay - first of all feedback is totally useless and should be ignored. Why ? Well take a look around some time. There are scam sellers on ebay that sell nothing but fakes and problem coins and yet they have 100% feedback. Plenty more that sell nothing but grossly over-graded crap and they have 100% feedback. So if the scumbags have 100% feedback - what&#039;s that tell you about the value of feedback ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes knowledge is very important when buying coins, even more so on ebay. But then you have the problem of having to be able to correctly interpret pictures. That in itself is a difficult task. And many ebay sellers know this and alter, juice, or fix up their coin pics. So half the time you&#039;re buying a pig in a poke.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is one way to safely buy on ebay anymore - know your seller. Just like when buying anyplace else, if you only buy from trusted and respected sellers then you will never have a problem.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do not do that, and I guarantee you <u>will</u> have a problem. Even though you may not be aware that you had a problem.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
