You made 20 quick posts in 3 hours solely for the fact that you wanted to sell a $5000 coin.
Selling on this forum is a privilege...not a right. While we don't involve ourselves with transactions our members make we do everything in our ability to make sure it's a safe and fair environment.

Sorry about all the ranting, but GraceOutcast your assumption that all I wanted was to sell this coin and many others is totally wrong.. I followed the rules about 50 + posts.. What they do not know is I am disabled and sometimes I spend hours at the comp... So to post so they say 20 + in 3 hours is not so much.. I never posted with simple nonsence as Nice coin, or similar stuff...... BUt the powers that be did what they did..So be it...... By the way I have been an avid collector for 25+ yrs and an ebay seller with over 3000 transactions with 0 Negatives..... My reason for offering the Newf. gold is to share with others..They are a rare breed and I do not need 2 sets ..... BUt if I must I will post 1 comment per day , Maybe that will fix the thing I done wrong...But can someone tell me why is other new members doing the same thing? Is there something I am missing? |

I'm sorry you feel that way. But you aren't the first person to wait exactly 50 posts and 14 days to go straight to the Sale section. You can make as many posts as you want. My judgement call was made specifically with the protection of our members in mind.
Do you think anyone would buy Any expensive coin from someone on ebay from a new members that has been around for 2 weeks?

So it sounds like you are saying that I am not 100% trustworthy and I quote " Do you think anyone would buy Any expensive coin from someone on ebay from a new members that has been around for 2 weeks? " FYI , I have sold many many expensive coins On ebay and off for the past 6 yrs and yes If you new my ebay handle and checked it out you would see you made a Bad call..That my honest opinion... You say I waited exactly 50 posts to make an offer ..Geez sounds like I followed the RULES did I not... In all fainess maybe I should have waited a few days and a couple more posts but according to the rules I did nothing wrong... and again to be fair you could have simply emailed me and asked that I did not offer any other coins for a bit..I would have had not problem, but for you to remove my Posts and Judge me the way you did is Truly unfair.. How do you know what my motives are....All I wanted was to give other members who cannot find these rare coins a chance to maybe aquire them or even get some discussions going, Oh by the way I had 2 people from Australia who asked for lots of info which I gladly Posted.. That info is now loss and these members will now look down on me..Thankls a bunch for the trust.... |

We have no clue who you are on ebay, anyone can come here and say they are anyone on ebay, and they have. Here are the cold hard facts. You ran through approximately 20 posts very quickly, most just a few words, then went straight to trying to sell a $5,000 coin on your 14th day, with no pictures. Registered on the 31st, crammed short posts in on the 14th before trying to sell. Trying to tell us that your intentions were anything different than GraceOutcast is stating is well.... not going to fly. We've only seen this behavior several hundred times now. It's even specifically stated in the selling rules. You have a couple choices now. You can relax and try to fit in here to earn the trust of our members and Staff which would be our preference, or you can go elsewhere if our rules bother you or selling is that important to you. |

Hey acidic, You trust is earned , It should also be given... I repeat why not just ask me not to sell for a bit... removing the posts is not right..Bad judgement..And as you say why not wait .. maybe some people have lots of time maybe others dont.... As far as I'm concerned he jumped the gun way to fast on this one..I would have the same feelings if it were another member and not me who this happened to... You see I was gonna include my ebay Handle for all the members who wished to che3ck me out , but was advised not too my a few long time members who pointed me to this forum......... |

Adminis... I am very relaxed and have no prob. with rules..Being ex military I know what rules are.. I am simply pointing out that I was under the assumption that I had not broken any rules... When I asked the question on where to go in order to offer the coin why would the member not have advised me to wait a bit...Like I said that would have been Ok with me I would have understood, my beef is the penalty put on me ... This is what I find very harsh....To pull all the posts, and make me do it all over again, and then need permission to offer items? So what happens now if I make it to 55 or 65 before I make an attemp again... Will I still need your approval or will I get hammered all over again?
