The seller has a lot of positive feedbacks, but also almost 300 revised feedbacks, which are negatives or neutrals that have been removed. And it's possible that a lot of the positive feedbacks were from buyers that didn't know any better after they received the coins. Looking at his current listings, he has a lot of identical photos, which means it's likely you would not be receiving the exact coin pictured. I would not buy from someone who uses stock photos and doesn't disclose it.

Yes. He sometimes uses the same photos. In his listings I looked at, he does not say "the coin you receive is the coin in the photos" or similar.

There are a few ebay sellers who advertise that their coins come straight from bank wrapped rolls. How many bank wrapped rolls of modern pre-1964 coins can possibly still exist? It boggles my mind. |

Big sellers can get their negative feedback removed by ebay. It is not right, but it is true. Notice that the seller has zero negative feedback comments in the past 12 months, but on 9/5 they had one. Where did it go?

Since this original post a few months ago, this seller has had an additional 50 feedbacks removed. It's a shame ebay allows the feedback ratings to be so deceptive and useless. |

Why are you surprised? Who pays the bills? If buyer's paid the fees, ebay would favor the buyers when it comes to feedback. I've given up and no longer bother leaving feedback. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ |

Rule of thumb for me-don't buy from ebay sellers who use multi-colored text in the description, talk about original bank rolls or use over-the-top language like "screamer." These sellers are coin carnies. |

Good advice, Captain. Also: do not bid/buy if the seller does not explicitly state that the item pictured is the one you will receive.

His coin photo's always 'look to good to be true'! Looks like he has mastered some editing technique that enhances the photo's.
