unholyroller, the honest way to build feedback is just buy a few things and slowly build. Everyone has to start somewhere, but just buying feedback is not the reputable method to do it. Buy a few inexpensive Indian Heads or Mercury dimes and follow through with the transaction (pay in a timely manner), including leaving honest feedback for the seller once you receive the item. After 10-15 transactions, start selling a few items, and build from there. Les |

This guy has an enormous amount of feedback. What is the point of what he's doing.

He is building his enormous amount of feedback even bigger. It certainly isn't to sell coins! It's probably how he got his enormous amount of feedback in the first place!

How do you do it? The way we have. Buy stuff and get good feedback that way. Then sell lower dollar items and build feedback that way. No biggy. As for ebay is evil...pfffttt. There are idiots where ever you may roam folks. No more or less on ebay than anywhere else. I have actually only had a problem with buyers, not sellers. |

I called E bay they were not happy about his wording in his listing.They are going to contact him/her. They are going to expand the report item area. It was very limited to what to report. They are adding an option with comment box to report the problem.

EBay doesn't care as long as they make money. Spoken like someone that is too lazy to report a listing but plenty energetic to whine. ebay certainly does care, I get listings removed every single day by taking 30 seconds to report them when I see them. Usually within a few hours. |

I've had a handful of listings removed because I put a numerical grade in my title for non-slabbed coins. I had just started selling and I didn't know the rules. ebay does care, but I still think they are generally crooks and their buyer protection program is easy to abuse. |

Thinking about this seller and this auction even more, this turkey is actually paying for the feedback! He gets the ebay listing for free, and may have found a loophole in ebay's final value fee (which is 9% of the final price and shipping, in this case, 9% of $.01? and rounded down to zero?) BUT PayPal charges a 30 cents per transaction fee, so he is paying for feedback! AND he has several of these auctions running currently and has hundreds of these auctions already completed! I'll say it again: what a loser! Les |

Read the part about the leaving feedback before payment. He intends to not actually be paid. If he does he can just issue a refund. His items are only for pickup and nobody's picking up a penny. Besides, the people bidding on his auction know whats up and are in on the scam.

Interesting to see this discussion. I saw his listings a few days ago and couldn't figure them out, then earlier today it finally dawned on me. I was considering reporting him, but it looks like you guys beat me too it. He has an unusually high level of negative feedback so I can see why he wants to inflate his score. To be fair, all the negs are from people that don't understand that they aren't getting a real gold coin for 99 cents.

I don't think we are discussing the same auction/seller. Les |

everybody on CCF should buy a "penny" from him and leave negative feedback and leave a comment about how he is trying to buy positive feedback.
