one_fine_dime Pillar of the Community United States 591 Posts	Posted 12/04/2018 4:37 pm I've been seeing several sellers that do not accept returns Based on the fact that so many coin sales are based on a single obverse photo and a single reverse photo, there is clearly the potential for not getting exactly what you thought you were getting. So I would imagine most CCF members typically steer clear of these sellers, right? So, do you ever buy from sellers that don't accept returns. Also, other than dealing with the hassle of returns (if it even is a "hassle"), why the heck wouldn't a seller accept returns?! Report this Post to the Staff

llewellin Pillar of the Community United States 1005 Posts	Posted 12/04/2018 5:31 pm I wouldn't mind buying from such a seller on ebay. As long as the photos are good enough of the coin you can get a good idea of what you are buying. If the photos are doctored to hide a defect then the item is being deliberately misrepresented and you can open a case through ebay so whether the seller does or does not accept returns doesn't matter at all in this instance. If the photos are not complete enough to get a good idea then it's more of a gamble and you are accepting a risk, whether the seller accepts returns or not. Report this Post to the Staff
fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 12/04/2018 5:34 pm I can understand no return on rolls. About a dozen yrs. ago, I was selling rolls Of '82 & '83 5c. Invariably, they were being returned 25% of the time. The best few were being switched. I know, a rookie mistake. Report this Post to the Staff

It's easy enough to have clear photos these days. If photos are blurry then the seller is either lazy or deceptive. Report this Post to the Staff
BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 12/04/2018 7:41 pm As a seller, I always accept returns, becuase I figure that due to ebay policy, a buyer who wants to return will find a way by claiming SNAD. Then I will be forced to accept the return and eat the return shipping cost. (Although once [before I started this policy], I had it out with a buyer who bid up a coin and then had buyers remorse. Sent me letters from a Numismatic firm in NY, regarding the grade of the coin. I replied that all that was clear in my photos, title, and description. I never heard from him again) Report this Post to the Staff
