 I have a 1884-CC Morgan dollar in a GSA Holder listed on ebay. I get two questions from this guy that bid on my coin. His user name is dr.junque. The first asks me if the coin is uncirculated because he can't read the number of the COA in my picture. Than I get a note that accuses me of listing the same coin in two auctions (of course I didn't- this is the ONLY coin I have for sale). I bite my lip and answer him politely - yes, the coin is uncirculated and has never been out of the holder, and no, I do not have it listed twice. Than he emails me back and say basically that I am a crook and he is withdrawing his bids. Now the bidding on my dollar which ends tomorrow has pretty much dried up. The bid history for my listing now shows his retracted bids and the reason he listed is "the seller changed his description". I have not changed this listing since I posted it. Why did ebay allow him to list this reason for cancelling his bid? I think it would have been impossible for me to alter the description of my coin after it had already received a bid and this has killed my sale. I'd like to punch the guy in the stomach if I wasn't non-violent. I hate ebay!

Cancel the auction before the 12 or 24 hour deadline. Then, relist it after a few days have past and explain in your new auction why you are listing the item i.e. You had a bidder interfering with the previous auction. Or, like raoddevil said, post it with a reasonable price on ant number of BST boards. Any CC in a GSA holder can't be that hard to move.
Good Luck.

dr.junque is the same guy selling a 1884-CC also. He sabatoged my listing. How do I report this? I am so mad I could spit!

Your bidder also did this to another person selling an 1884-CC in the GSA holder. Look at his bid history for the last 30 days, this guy is a classic case of auction interference and the proof is there. If you fail to report this transgression, you are only contributing to his furtherance of this BS.

BTW get a good image host like Geocities.com or something similar that for about $5 a month will host your images and not cut them down in size. This looks like a nice blast white dollar. A nice 3 X size 600 dpi image is what I look for when I am looking at these. BTW from what I can see already of it, it is temptatious.

You could always have someone bid on his auction, retract the bid, claim the seller changed his ad.  |

I reported him to ebay, but I will only get a form letter back. They don't care. I also emailed this guy and told him I knew what he was doing and was going to report him to ebay. Maybe that will at least cause some anxiety. Specific ideas for where to list this coin for sale are appreciated. Maybe I should just put it on our forum. |

Spider, that would put me in his category and I would rather quit than resort to those tactics.

Yeah, put it here first. Avail yourself of having to support Meg Whitman's bad habits(?) by selling it on ebay. If my boss would let me buy it, I would in a heartbeat. I gave my GSA dollar to my brother and he pawned it off to buy comic books. |

The one thing I learned from selling on ebay is, most bids happen on the last day before the auction ends. I say keep it on ebay and see how it sells. |

When you change your description as a seller, doesn't ebay automatically post a little note at the bottom saying Editted on such and such date? I remember seeing these things before. |
