Why is when I do not win a bid for coins ebay sends me: Save with these additional choices--no need to bid! 1879 S Morgan silver dollar PROOF REPRODUCTION 1879 P Morgan silver dollar PROOF EXACT SIZE-REPLICA -- I have never bought a copy or replica and I customize my searches to specifically exclude them. |

You see these listings in ebay because they are not properly filtered and the worst part is that some clueless person is going to bid and not read the fine print or factor in the shipping costs. There are auction sites dedicated to coins but I usually find that the fees are very high. |

I recently had a clipped Jeff. pulled because some idiot said it looked like bolt cutters were taken to it. They said all clips were curved. WE are the "experts". I believe it's the number of complaints they get. I was still charged the insertion fee, which I haven't and wont pay. I got a collection agency(GC Services) on my back.

I saw an 1855 trime on e-bay this week that I was going to bid on until I noticed the shipping was $9.50! How much can it cost to ship a trime, I mean the doggone things are minuscule.

I liked the 1 Grain Gold Bar. I asked him the dimensions and he told me 1/2 inch by 1/4 inch but left out the thickness; probably Gold leaf with 1 gr stamped on it. It was still there last Friday.  |

People like this are just trying the age old tactic of taking offers without stating a price by making the starting price so ridiculous it won't be taken seriously. Just hoping for a high offer. Billy Joe: "Hey that's really cool patio furniture you got there, is that out of an old Bonneville..."Joe Bob:
"Make me an offer I can't refuse and it's all yours!"Anyone here that says they've never done it is likely a liar.  They just don't realize it looks silly on ebay. |

All you need to do is take 45 seconds to report those. That's it, and the seller will likely never do it again because ebay hits them in their wallet. I've reported that sellers violating listings plus I sent him an email to shake him up.... Quote:You probably think your the first to come up with this brilliant idea don't you? :-). What makes you so special that you think you don't have to pay fees when the rest of us do? I've reported all your idiocy to ebay, they don't like when you steal money from them which you'll soon find out. ;-) It's a holiday so it may take a few days but they will come down on him hard. |

These are the ones that really tick me off. Listing says "Grade For Yourself, You be the judge". How can I when it looks like they took the pictures from across the room. My point. http://cgi.ebay.com/1948-D-FRANKLIN...em2a0a10a77eHow can you come close to grading that coin. Not to mention he's asking MS 65 price for what looks like maybe vf-xf at best. People like this drive me nuts. |

You know honestly, if the seller compensates the cost of the item with insane shipping and its obvious I don't have a problem with that....they're just ripping off ebay so whatever. There are a lot of dishonest ones, but Billie's seemed alright to me by itself. Looking further, the seller's listings are a rip off in general. Edited by coinguybrian

Until ebay gets a handle on ridiculous shipping costs, they shouldn't complain. |

ebay doesn't set shipping cost, the sellers do. and yes, they are usually over priced. I dont know how many times I've paid for flat rate box insured and got Padded envelope with DC.
