an empty envelope! you can see the outline of the coin in the bottom left  why would someone just drop a coin in an envelope and mail it  especially a red large cent. oh well time for a refund. anyone else have shipments come in with very poor packaging as well?   |

That's a pretty big slip up. I wouldn't feel bad about leaving negative feedback if I were you. If this guy was in the possession of a large red cent, he must know what he's doing somewhat.

I wouldn't leave negative feedback.
Back when I first started collecting, I shipped a few out like this; simple newby mistake.

Ouch.  You do not have to leave negative or neutral, but you should enter the packaging details in the feedback. Hopefully they will learn from this. |

Having worked for Canada Post many many years , I will tell you how this happens. The letter jammed the sortation machine [ LSM] and really peeved the Postal machine tech who had to dig the coin out of the unit. Probably had to use pliers and totally messed up the coin that went into the garbage. Remember these guys are technicians and not numismatists. Down time about 20 minutes a part replacementand an upset supervisor. Happens all the time.

Never came across that before - did you look at his feedback for amount of sales of coins? That might give a clue - lot of times I buy from a newer person and explain how to send a coin in the mail even if I have to pay a little more so it gets to me.

I once received a coin packaged like that. Thankfully, it survived the trip. They just threw the coin in an envelope and sent it.

Why not be nice and contact the seller and offer tips on envelope packaging, and security? I had to learn, especially when sending coins by envelope as a means of selling the smaller Item sales. I haven't had any sorter troubles reported yet except one of the first ones I did without cardboard inserts. that solves the sorter problem. Be nice, this seller just lost big time for him, he has to pay you back and is out the item. Make a friend instead of you being self righteous, honey does work a lot better.

New sellers especially if they aren't that experienced with coins seem to generally ship one of two ways. The first would be like what happened here. The other would be that they over package everything and pay way more in shipping than they should. Most just generally don't know any better. I agree with not ruining their account and sending them a message with advice on how to ship in the future. As long as they don't give some rude combative response I would just not leave feedback

So sorry this happened to you gidjit!
Yes, this seller needs to be educated quickly and sorry your red large cent was lost along the way.
I probably would not leave any feedback either way if I was satisfied with the way they handled my prompt refund and
addressed my email to them on what never to do again. I think some non coin people just don't know any better.
If they were sympathetic I would just leave the feedback alone.

As a seller I had a coin lost in the US. I then fully refunded the buyer. She left a negative feedback anyways. Accused me of not sending the coin.
I considered that action, and that person - pure evil.
Not only did I eat the financial loss, she damaged my account on top of it. I dont send to the US anymore unless buyer pays for $25 tracking.
If financially compensated, dont be the evil person by leaving a negative feedback. It's very bad karma.
