I don't like that the pictures have the 'quicksales' watermark on them. Does this seller sell on both sites? I searched 'error' in decimal coins on there, and this coin isn't listed there - perhaps he took it down when put on ebay. That said; does anyone actually buy from quicksales? I thought that site died an awful long time ago when it was still oztion. Interesting if it's real though! |

The person on quicksales has the same name on ebay, that being said I just bought an error threepence from the ebay page so it better be the right coin turn up or I will chuck a fit! |

Ask the seller for the dimentions of the coin,if it were struck on a 1 cent planchet I would think it would be bigger that a 1 cent in diametre but a fair bit thinner I would think. Don't ya hate those pics that don't enlarge,makes you wonder if they don't want you to see the coin too closely,there is far to much of this creeping in to ebay IMO. |

What do people make of "paypal is for overseas buyers only" and "if using paypal expect lengthly delays"? Does he mean only people overseas can use paypals and any Aussie needs to use bank transfer or that if from overseas you must use paypal? Paypal should allow the funds to appear immediately for him. When people pay me using paypal it means I can ship it the next day. Bank transfer takes a few days normally so its odd paypal will result in delays. Sounds like a  to me! Edited by enworb

"paypal is for overseas buyers only" I think that is against ebay rules. If buyer uses PayPal and postage is unduly delayed then that would be a good way to get poor star rating. This seller actually has a good star rating so maybe this is just a sales ploy. Jeff |

The only thing wrong with paypal are the fees associated with using it. Other than that I recon it is great, easy fast and secure  |

Paypal is fantastic for buyers but pretty crap for sellers as they're the ones who bare the brunt of the fees and crazy return policies.

If you go to this sellers feedback page and click on "items for sale" nothing comes up in the search. This could be a hacked account  |

I used PayPal and I had no problems, he also marked it as posted within a few hours and left happy feedback for me. I don't see a problem with the seller, hoping the coin arrives quickly.
I think the writing is just to get people to use bank deposit.
But I always PayPal people who I have never bought from before, then if there good I normally bank deposit for them.
I hate PayPal sooo much; they closed my account because I didn't provide a copy of my passport huh? I had an account with them for year and when I had $200 sitting in my account they struck -- they didn't get my money because I'm smart but never again. I now am a merchant with Paymate and they look after me pretty good and there Aussie YAY.

p.s the link to the item goes through the US ebay page you have to make it AU page, to see item his selling as he is only selling in AU ;) you just change the http://www.ebay.com to >>> .com.au just add a ". au" in the top of browser part and it changes the search to the right page. |

Cheaper than this one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUSTRALIA-2..._2430wt_1163It may be genuine but I'd have to weigh it and look closer to be more certain. As far as that seller goes, I know of someone who specifically made a purchase off said seller to use Paypal, we'll see if the item turns up!! |

If it's a 1 cent planchet it should weigh 2.59 grams.
