Does anyone have an opinion of this site? I've bought a few inexpensive things. Have no experience as a seller, which I am especially curious about. I know they have lower fees than e-bay.

I will say that they do have some good photos of variety/error coins, in juxtaposition with other related examples.

I've used them quite a bit for reference, but have never bought or sold a coin through the site.

Despite the concern about scam artists on ebay, the one thing that site has going for it is that it is fairly protective of buyers. Even though people supposedly have "no return" policies, when push comes to shove ebay will usually force the seller to take the item back if the buyer is unhappy about it, especially if there is any valid reason at all for a return.

I have no idea what USA Coinbook would do in the event of a dispute. Maybe they will help or maybe they will stay out of any dispute and you are on your own. I'd want to know for sure what their policy on this is before buying through them.

That is more buyer sided advice, but is still important as a seller. A hands off website can also mean you are out of luck if a buyer does something like contest the charge after getting the item. On the other hand, a buyer giving you grief after a sale could be easier to ignore if the website won't force you to give a refund.

Good points, Saruma. USA CB may let Paypal mediate. I really have no experience as a seller on either site. I do know that as a buyer e-bay has supported me, as you discuss.
