Starting to get a little worried as I watch my feedback numbers climb, there are literally hundreds of people that have my home address and know I collect coins.

Should I have a PO Box?

Do you?

Yes, what kind of prompted the thought of a PO box is that I have been saving the return address on the envelopes from the items I have been buying, just in case I might ever want to sell!

If it makes you feel better do it. There's no right or wrong answer. I do suggest though that if you do get a pmb (private mail box) instead of a po box. Only usps stuff can be delivered to a po box while any service can be delivered to a pmb

FWIW a lot of sellers don't sell to PO boxes.

I started selling coins on ebay maybe 10 years ago, and did not have a PO Box. I sold a coin to someone in my town (via ebay.. chance encounter), and they were a little crazy. Since then, I have done PO Box. And yes, some sellers do not ship to po box, but you can just have those few ship to your home.

Then they don't get my money... I can be a big spender, so it is their loss...

If my PO Box good enough for Hertiage Auctions - it should be good for anyone...
