Sounds like a flea market more than an auction site.

It is a joke of an auction site. There are currently 18962 listings in the US Coin section. Out of those 18962 listings only 16 have bids, and of those only two have more than 1 bid, and none have more than 2.

That would be 100% true, had I not been an idiot and paid via PayPal "gift". I have had more than a couple of other transactions with this seller in the past, which is why I felt comfortable paying in that manner. Never again.


Should have seen that coming. If it makes you feel any better Ill help you recoup that at some point with some penny purchases for an album

"You must accept it as credit" Oh right--thanks for forcing the buyer to pawn off some junk foreign silver that many dealers will reject outright.
And 70-S is a common coin for the seller to fuss over; most likely you'll never see a SD in coins pulled from circulation.

I know, I got the short end of a small stick. Do not let it happen to you. People can complain all theey want to about ebay, but let's face it, there is more traffic on ebay than any other online marketplace, and they provide customer service. Not always great customer service, but at least they do not ignore you in hopes you will go away, and when you don't they don't ban you.

WENSY DOES. No customer service, no enforcement of auction rules. Avoid Wensy and seller kiwi_bird.

At first, I was about to say that when selling so many different roll types, it could happen that you run short of a type and it takes a week to complete the slack (although it should be clear that buyer is allowed to cancel the deal in this case).

And then I saw the letter.. Now this is ridiculous .

superdog, what made me mad when I first learned he was not shipping the rolls out immediately was that he did not even have them ready. He was waiting until you by them to try and put the rolls together. And the rolls I got are not like those shown in the photo. Dishonest all the way around.

Well, yes indeed, the other buyer is out over $100. The website owner final pulled the plug on this seller's account. A little late, but is the first true sign of customer service that I have seen. Afterwards the seller got on the Wensy chat room and ranted and raged against Wensy and the other buyer. He did this fit using another account he already had. Then someone pointed out that it was the same screen name that had been bidding up some of the original screen names auctions. So this seller not only does not provide what he says in the listing, he decides what you will get in the way of compensation, and he has been shill bidding his auctions all the while. The seller is a class act folks. He will most likely try to set up shop on another "free" auction site the two screen names he used were "kiwi_bird" and "End_the_Fed" So avoid those two names or deviations of those names. I hope you all have better auction experiences than this one. There is a reason ebay is the world's #1 auction site. CUSTOMER SERVICE eBay HAS IT WENSY DOES NOT
