Hi Even though the listing states, 'No returns accepted.' I read the fine print of the ebay protection policy which reads,: "Counterfeit items: If a buyer suspects that an item is counterfeit, and there are strong indicators that the item is counterfeit, we don't require the buyer to return the item to the seller. The buyer agrees to cooperate with us to ensure the proper disposal of the item. In such instances, we refund the buyer for the full cost of the item and original shipping, and the seller reimburses us for the refund." |

Based upon my above comments and ebay written policies my related questions are: 1) Does a buyer still have 'full' financial protection anyway from receiving a counterfeit coin from a seller even though the listing clearly states 'No returns accepted'? 2) If the answer to 1) above is 'yes', why would any intelligent buyer in their right mind write 'No returns accepted.' on any coin listing whatsoever knowing that this type of verbiage significantly reduces the number of potential bidders on a numismatic item for sale? 3) What procedure could an ebay seller perform in advance of the sale/auction as a preventative measure to completely avoid receiving negative post-sale feedback if a coin is sold in good faith but unknowingly and subsequently turns out to be a fake? mdpmedia |

1) Yes, ebay will force a return based on "Significantly Not As Described." 2) You're giving these people too much credit for intelligence. Stupid is as stupid does. 3) If the sellers handles the return honorably, ebay won't allow a Negative Feedback. The Seller has an appeal mechanism. |

The "dime" is interesting to me also, but not really interested if selling fakes also.

A seller could build up a good reputation by selling lots of genuine lower value coins, before attempting to sell a top quality fake for a very high price.
That looks to be the case here.

Seller ended/removed the 1856 Flying Eagle cent. The 1796 he/she had listed as a Half Dime was also ended and re-listed as a dime. Just updating this so everyone knows. -MV |
