How Do You Handle Ebay Buyers With No Prior History?

I've also had occasional buyers with brand new accounts and no feedback, but I've never had issues with lack of payment, returns, or fraud with those transactions. I think the risk is a little bit higher, and depending on the amount of the sale, you might want to add delivery signature required in addition to tracking just to give an extra layer of security (although I'm not sure that USPS has gone back to actually getting signatures post-COVID). As ijn1944 says, every ebay buyer has to start somewhere.

That's weird that they offered you double. I've never done that even when I really wanted a coin.
I wouldn't sell it to them. Isn't that what scammers usually do---offer you something awesome to get you sucked in and then you end up losing. Trust your spidey sense!

20 year ebay seller. Hard to say what double is...might be worth 10x starting bid( or nothing).If you're nervous just let the auction run. Or only accept one offer and ship fast. Unique items can have new or rare buyers. Kind of a teaser now,lol

At first I thought that it might be real. I got really excited!I know what I know from sites like this, YouTube guys, but mostly Blue Ridge Silverhound. I thought I totally missed something but was willing to keep my end of the bargain. I insist on payment prior to shipment. Back and forth back and forth. They contacted me privately wanting my PayPal to pay me. While that sounds great and all. It's against ebay rules, and I'm just a real honest person. 🤷 #8205;#9792;#65039;
So both the penny and the quarter will be going back up. Thank you guys.

I'm glad you didn't listen to my wrong advice .

Not to sound arrogant but please throw away most things you learn from them. They misinform so many people on things, there's a reason there's a million do I have a 1964 SMS threads here.

Many YouTubers I have seen (much like the couch collectables guy) just state there are these really rare coins in really high grades but never actually explain any sort of mintages or odds for these rare varieties etc or what the difference from one grade to a next will be. This just makes people aware of extremely rare coins and they think if they look through 1-2 out of several hundred billion minted that they might have found one, so I fully agree with GrapeCollects.

I just recently auctioned my 1981 Australian 5 cent coin die clash first and second time up, the first offer was $700 buyer wanted to go through PayPal so that was flagged by me (cancelled) and second offer was $1350 same again happened buyer sent me email with PayPal saying funds are sent to ebay so pretty much sending me false / misleading documentation, now waiting on a third offer and I sold my first on ebay which was late because courier company shut on weekends, sending this error coin will be taking photos and getting it viewed and verified when I send it.
