Will I accept a return of an item that is exactly as described & pictured? Yes.


And here is where I vehemently disagree. I have been a retail manager for many years now. This is my profession after having retired from the fire dept. And the customer is NOT always right. Not by a LOOOOONG shot. And this is a perfect example of that.

If I sell you an item, it arrives promptly, is EXACTLY what I described and pictured, then there is NO reason I should be forced to accept a return of that item. You as the customer have responsibility in YOUR decision to purchase. I, as a seller, have held up my end of the deal by giving an accurate presentation of the item. Hold up YOUR end of the deal. To do otherwise is, in my estimation, unethical and wrong.

I really am disheartened to see anyone at all on this board supporting something like this.

That's my final say on this.

So let's say you are a seller, and you accept returns. Do you get to decide for the buyer their own criteria for a return?
And what happens when the buyer has a higher standard for photographs and ultimately appearance in-hand than the seller?
Nobody photographs coin rims, do they? There's always a distinct possibility someone else has higher standards.

Now I'm sure this doesn't apply to anyone here, but personally I'm very hesitant whenever a coin dealer acts like their in total control of the transaction--ie no consideration, period. They seem to forget the top dealers out there stand behind their coins to the point where offer a review period, accept returns for any reason, or even offer to buy back a coin at a later date. To me, that's a standard of business to aspire to.

But I still know others will disagree--that's ok.

This is all actually off topic to a certain degree
it's on-topic regarding ebay purchases and returns
it's off-topic in this thread because the issue here is very specific
has nothing to do with anything other than a conscious decision to gamble, winding up on the losing end of that sick and trying to cry foul give me a refund as a result
that is not cool

Yeah this thread has become entirely off topic, discussions frequently do.
