The only thing I don't like is the lag between payment and shipping ,,3 to 5 days after payment ,,with 1 feedback (Which by the way was left one day after the close of that particular auction ) I don't think so ! all the auctions that the seller has running will be over and done before any coin ships . I would like to have the Half Dime ,,but I'm passing on the aution ! I will find one some place else . |

I'm from Moline, IL and my parents still live there. What if I offered to pay in person and pick up? Is that even allowable through ebay? I know the seller would have to agree but it is something I have never tried. |

Sure you can do that. However still arrange payment thru normal channels and negate the shipping charges. Most people don't wanna do it but I have actually had someone pick up an item from me before. It was none coin related so it didn't bother me...coins though...I'd be weary if I were the seller.
And as far as the 3-5 day thing. There was a time when I was working all morning shifts and only had 1 day a week that I was about to ship items out

Me thinks you are missing the big thing here Over $50 for a coin worth less than $20 and apart form the initial bid all newbie ebayers

I noticed Nohope ,, But until other feedbacks come in its rough to say that His auctions are shilled,, I just don't like the fact that all of them will be over before He is obligated to send a coin to any of the buyers .

I don't think sellers are obliged to have anyone turning up at their doorstep, unless stated in the auction description. |

Thats true ,, Sellers do not have to allow pick ups on their sales ,, in fact I can see no benefit to it . I would not allow it . unless the guy lived right beside me and I have known Him for the 8 years I have lived here . |

I have driven to the next city over before to pick up a item and had no problems at all, this wasn't coin related and I may think twice before letting a stranger come to my house to pick up a coin when you know they know you have coins in the house

The only way I would agree to allow pick up from myself directly is if there was a good reason. Like I was selling a coin or collection for thousands, and the buyer preferred an in person transaction.
And even then I would have him/her meet me at a local police station.
