Funny I just got an email from ebay saying my bid on these dimes was retracted for this listing http://www.ebay.com/itm/1900-1916-B...1613812621?. There reason for cancelling the listing was this--Explanation: leaves too many petty negative and neutral feedbacks. I don't leave a lot of negative or neutral feedback only when it is deserved like when I receive a coin completely different than the listing and the seller wants me to pay for a return or the seller is a mess, I can't even pay so they re-listed. Maybe this guy deserves some negative feedback so he just avoids those that will give it? lol. |

They are going for $1.8 per dime with the price of $36.06, so I think I would just let it be. As for ebay, they got more rules than I can keep track off; who knows how long ago this first started. |

They can keep them. I can get better dimes at my local shop for that price. He charges me $1.80 per coin. One is heavily damaged in this lot and the rest are too low grade anyhow. He is right, if I get the lot and the most valuable coin in the lot isn't there or they send completely different dimes, they don't want to deal with me. I will leave negative if they don't want to make it right.

description says "COIN SHOWN IS COIN BEING SOLD" so you would have gotten them.

Gas is cheap right now, I have to go there anyway for supplies anyhow. They got nice bulk items too since they are mostly a precious metal shop. I can get bulk V nickels or dimes and they sell quick because of the quality. They weed out the crap. Edited by buddy16cat

SOLD for $37.55. Whoever bought it, I hope you enjoy your purchase  Hey, if precious metals are your thing, then you found the right place. I am more into coins than stacking bars (actually, bars disinterest me). Edited by YoshiRules

Well the point is the seller retracted my bid because of negative feedback left where sellers sent completely different coins, did not include dates they listed on the title, or jewelery I bought as a gift looked totally fake in hand. My point is if he did not send the best coins and wanted me to pay to return the entire lot, I would negative him.

The negative feedback is rightly deserved if the seller didn't give what the description says. That being said, always read the description; you never know what kind of sneaky little stuff you might find (like sellers describing what is in an "unopened" wheat roll ) If I were you, I would just forgive the seller and put that whole incident behind you. "Water under the bridge", as they say. |

I just went over every one of the Feedbacks you left, and there are no Neutrals or Negs in them. Sellers can't leave Negs and you've only 9 buyer Feedbacks listed. Frankly, I don't read what you or anyone write for Positive feedbacks.

I actually separate my buyer and seller accounts. I have 154 feedbacks left in my buyer account, 5 negatives and one neutral. The rest are positive. 2 negative feedbacks were not coin related, it was jewelry I bought for gifts that were were junk or a plated-nickel fake. One is from a seller that claimed the lot that contained a 1896 dime that didn't and didn't want to do a small refund. One was from a second chance offer that kept re-listing this 1823 Large cent who had all negative feedbacks. The other was someone who listed VF Barber dimes and sent VG damaged coins, completely different than the listing and wanted me to pay for the return. Edited by buddy16cat

I reported this to ebay. They said that they are going to examine the practice of keeping your feedback rating high by avoiding anyone that leaves negative feedback for anyone. It is a buyer's right to leave negative feedback and is necessary. |

Anyone who has left a bunch of negs for whatever reason is blocked as far as we are concerned. Since sellers can't leave negs for buyers sellers have to be very careful these days. With ebay sellers are at the complete mercy of flaky buyers. |

I don't believe ebay allows sellers to give anything but positive anymore. And it really stinks when buyers scam you. Although it isn't related directly, it is a pain when ebay doesn't allow you, the seller, to refuse to sell to a buyer, when the buyer's feedback (as a seller) is riddled with negatives speaking of scams and fake tracking numbers, without it being a defect on your seller account AND you risking the buyer leaving you negative. |
