BTW, I'll just add that most of the coins that I have purchased (I posted pictures of them in another thread), I have purchased from ebay, and I always ask lots of questions, and am very picky about my coins. I have never been blocked, but I always make sure to explain my question and be very nice about it in an almost apologizing type of way. I want to make sure I convey to the seller that I am a very reasonable buyer who just has some questions, and not someone who could cause them problems.

Most sellers do not mind if buyers have an problem with something, but they want the type of buyer who will give them the opportunity to make it right, and not someone who will just leave bad feedback or DSRs without notifying them first and giving them the chance to fix the problem. Nobody is perfect and it is difficult to please everyone, but if you mess up then you should have the chance to make it right without losing your livelihood.

he should have taken some more pics just to verify so your question was indeed valid, its a buyers and sellers market makes no sense why he acted that way

Exo, the point you miss is that the buyer on ebay can screw a seller over with hardly a thought and not an ounce of real evidence needed. And you dont need a group of people with a mission in mind tearing through sellers. Nor do I believe there is any need at all for the mob mentality I have seen here numerous times. I cant begin to the number of time someone posts something about a seller in a negative manner and there was nothing at all wrong in the listing. The only problem being with the reading comprehension of the person making the post.

How many times do you see a post like What a junky buyer, he didnt pay! NEVER. I have not once seen a post saying lets list piece of junk buyers who dont pay or leave bad feedback for grins. Simple fact is sellers are the folks more likely to need to band together with blacklists.

While I do find the seller rude for blocking a seller I don't see any advantage for him. Most sellers would want more bidders instead of less. While most buyers knows that there will always be more coins out there, so of they're patient they can always find another one.

I'm with EricN on this. Buying and Selling is a two-way street. Buyers have to realise that respect and good manners are essential. And common sense is required. My latest question was "What other coins do you have?" With no salutation or Greeting or signing off this one was immediately blocked. And if anyone questioned me about colour they would be blocked too. I cannot believe that anyone in their right mind would buy a coin online based on photos and the colour. If you require a certain colour then you need to see the item. I've taken thousands of photos and am constantly amazed at the differences in colour that come out even though nothing has changed. Differences in colour and brightness should be expected as computers are different. If the seller says dark brown or whatever and it looks light brown you should show a little faith and believe him. If it turns out to be false then he has described it incorrectly. With the feedback situation being what it is, it is just not worth replying to and I would consider it an insult. Sorry if that's a bit harsh but that is the way it is.
