Those are some good bad examples, 99, and also thanks for the kind word. People can be thoughtless. As with other parts of the internet, some people forget that there is a human behind the electrons.
Edit: I think a flaw in the ebay system is that it is too easy for someone to "threaten" bad feedback as a tool to manipulate the vendor. I know a lot of vendors will just take a loss rather than risk their 100%. That's just not fair, and it seems like there should be a way to prevent it.

I received once a set of gold lord of the rings coins that was sent through the USPO. the seller had an excellent record. to my horror, several of the capsulated had bounced out of their case indentations and one coin had escaped its capsule and had rubbed against the included metal ring on the coin's obverse side, causing considerable scratches. it was not the fault of the seller... it was the fault of pobjoy mint for not including enough padding inside the case to keep the capsules and hence the coins themselves from escaping. I got ahold of the seller and explained the issue, he refunded me $200 but in reality the value of the set was reduced a lot more than that, but that is only my opinion. I just ate it and accepted the situation, no hard feelings against the seller at all, not his fault.

to expand on my reply... I was of the opinion that 90% of the problem was pobjoy's inadequate padding (the seller sent it exactly as he received it) and the post office's rough handling. I know he sent it as he received it because I later got the matching silver set and it was incompetently packaged the exact same way... mike

Why can't you mention the coin dealer's name, so that others can be aware of it?

I think that ebay should list the amount of returns that any potential buyers have made when they bid on one of a sellers listings.
This way a seller would have the option of blocking any habitual returner and avoiding any problems with a sale

I think ebay should also report the number of "Not as described" claims a buyer made as well.

syeb, I agree with you, but ebay currently and has been for year favoring the buyer. I do not think that a seller can even leave negative or neutral or any feedback regarding a buyer. am I wrong?

the buyer can fatmouth feedback a seller to the ends of the earth, but I think the seller does have a weak area to respond to the feedback, but it is below the post and smaller than the fatmouth buyer feedback. In any case, with less than 5 star ratings, the seller loses nevertheless.

we have all been around long enough to know that ebay policies and paypal favor the buyer by a large difference.

believe me, I know from personal experience... and so do a lot of people here too...

I think that there is a culture developing where ebay buyers when they see a coin "In Hand" even though it is graded by either NGC or PCGS and they realise that the coin is in fact what it is graded at and not a "Slider" they return it because they cant flip it for an instant profit.
It also appears that there are more flippers than collectors buying on ebay these days as well.
