Has anyone else ordered off ebay from them? I ordered 4 40% Kennedy half dollars (66,67,68d,69d) for 15.48 and I sent payment two weeks ago. I've sent the guy repeated emails and he hasn't responded to a single one. Am I being too impatient? (His shop is in Wisconsin and I am in Michigan.) |

Bronxman95, Some of the sellers on ebay never respond. They seem to be too busy taking in orders and money. I wouldn't say two weeks is too long. If you paid by check or money order, it will take longer. If it was Paypal, it's getting near the end of a reasonable amount of time. I've waited up to three weeks for items that should have taken four days. Check this seller's feedback comments (especially the shipping time rating) to see what others have experienced. If you haven't received the coins by the end of the week, I would email the seller and tell him/her you intend to open a dispute and set a deadline. That may get them to respond. Needless to say, without some extenuating circumstances I wouldn't shop there again. |

E-bay is one good place to look for coins. There are many other online options.
Many good coin shops exist online with guarantees, layaways, clear return policies, high res pictures, large selection, and competitive and sometimes negotiable prices.
Is it allowed to plug online coin dealers here?
An easy method of finding coin dealers is google images, search for the coin type you are interested in, among all the images that come up many are from coin shops. I have 4 favorites I shop regularly.

I have only used ebay twice for coin purchase the first one was a good deal and 2 day shipment. Second one was a fare price and took 4 weeks. I prefer to use on line dealers. But I still search ebay. Can't belive what people pay for junk coins.   Seeking :Timely deliveries Rainman  |

I bought 90% of my coins (over 100 items) on ebay. I only had one bad experience and one OK experience. |

I sold a guy 25 mercurys a few months back. I sent them right away. He contacted me after 10 days - no coins. This went on for awhile and he finally got them after 18 days. But that's the only time I had a problem. Once I ordered some simple coin supplies (2x2's) from a coin store on e-bay - took 2 weeks to get 'em and that was because they were slow - not USPS. I also agree about with the comment on checks - if you sent a personal check - that could seriously delay things.

Make sure you stay on top of the ebay reporting however. After a certain length of time you lose your right to dispute the auction. This would suck to lose your money and your right to dispute the transaction. |
