Anyone Want A 1916 Standing Quarter For Dirt Cheap?

i emailed him and then reported it

type in at the address bar .co.uk not .com after that, you see that all the negative, neutral, and positives turn blue, click on the negatives then there you go!

I don't know how much malarkey it is, but it's certainly an interesting response.

In the past (maybe 10 years ago!) when I've sold things on ebay, coins included, I never had the opportunity to change a listing. I tended to list them right the first time. So I don't know if you can change the auction title, but I know you can change the info in the listing. I've seen many a seller update information in a listing with a correction of some sort due to an oversight, or some other reason. Interesting that she would only be concerned with the single bidder on the item and not anyone else that may want to bid on it. I guess she figures that one bid is all she's gonna get, or she'll email amyone else who bids also.

Interesting way to conduct business!

On a tangent note, I can see a bit of confusion that might occur with a seller that does a very large volume of business, especially in small items. But I can also see that such a thing might be an internal organizational problem. For example (based roughly on her feedback), looking at percentages on 30,000 transactions, 300 "can't find it" results would be a 1% failure rate. By that number it seems very small, but it's still 300 items you attmpted to sell, got a buyer, then said "I can't find it."

Looking at the rest of the feedback, particularly in light of the proceedings of this auction, I find it very.....

Interesting.

After reading the negative feedback on this seller she seems to mislead quite often.I believe she is trying to do just that on this coin.

Perhaps she was going to purchase a new pair of glasses with the 1916 money she could get for a 1926 coin?

Newsflash....the govt has bigger fish to fry than going after lying used car salespeople beyond lemon laws.

ebay has bigger fish to fry than this seller, who says nothing more about the coin and can/will claim a typo error at the end of the day.

the coin is clearly a 1926, like (the seller) as not.

caveat emptor.

Also, I think the seller beefs up his/her own sales and feedback with clones (e.g. customeprospector, wac60, dokimastdan) who are fortunate enough to acquire dollar coins and gold items for 99 cents.

The seller has to delete the entire sale after a bid has been made. Sellers cannot change the title of a listing after the first bid is made.

The bidders have to go through a lot of rigamarole, too, when these typed of changes/cancellations are made.

Yeah, but they can change the details of the contents in the listing....or add updates based on new information. That would be adequate imo, since people read the descriptions

Once it has been bid on you can add to the description but you can not change it, and the misleading title will still put people in.

And you would be amazed at the number of people who DON'T read the descriptions.
