Yass Pillar of the Community Australia 652 Posts	Posted 09/12/2011 6:59 pm I made a purchase of over $350 from a CCF member. I paid in $50 lots over several weeks before the coins were sent because he was a CCF member. I bought the coins sight unseen, because he was a CCF member. I accepted the fact that he had mailed the coins, because he was a CCF member. If the coins had not arrived, I would not have sought restitution from him, because I accept the fact that he had kept his part of the bargain and he would not have lied to me because he was a CCF member. I have no problems if you wish to limit your market to the unknown people on ebay within the US. Just know that there have been a large number of coins that I would have bought from you, sight unseen, paid up front and without hassles because you are a CCF member. Report this Post to the Staff

If anyone wants to take a quick look at it the item number is 200651540552 and you are more than welcome to place a bid of course. Report this Post to the Staff
startabe Valued Member United Kingdom 66 Posts	Posted 09/12/2011 8:00 pm for ccf I would allow an international posting but for normal ebay I wouldn't as I have been stung so many times but I will always look at whats best value for the person too so If it is better I send a set than a single coin I am happy too as long as it is what the person recieving wants Report this Post to the Staff

I can't speak for anyone else but my comments were directed towards ebay sales. I have sent things internationally to CCF members as trades and/or gifts. However, I'm not willing to ship items I sell on CCF internationally. This is not a reflection of how I feel about members that live elsewhere.....it's a matter of how I feel about the shipping process & my perception of the hassle involved with customs forms. Quote: If the coins had not arrived, I would not have sought restitution from him, because I accept the fact that he had kept his part of the bargain and he would not have lied to me because he was a CCF member. That's the type of response I would expect from a fellow CCF member & is one of the many things I like about this forum. The problem is that as a CCF member I would feel obligated to issue a refund irregardless of what the buyer wanted. Report this Post to the Staff
Lion4Life Valued Member United States 370 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 4:05 pm I've shipped stuff overseas on other message boards(not coin related) and never had a problem. But I won't ship overseas on ebay, not a chance. On other boards, it was to people who were long time members with good reputations and people that I have known and consider friends or dealt with before. On ebay I'll only ship inside the US, to many scammers on there. A couple years back I had some cards up on ebay, this guy kept pestering me to ship to him(can't remember where he was from now)eventually he asked me if I would ship to an address in the states if he won, said it was a relative of his, I agreed. He won, I sent it out priority mail with delivery confirmation and emailed him the DC#. A day after it was delivered, the guy emails me saying the package didn't show up. I emailed him back with the tracking number again showing that it was delivered to the address he provided. He never responded back. Report this Post to the Staff
XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 7:32 pm I frequently ship things overseas on CCF and have never had a problem here. But on ebay I only very rarely sell things internationally, because as others said the seller protection Paypal/ebay offers is not worth its salt internationally. I once got burned selling $150 worth of goods to Ireland, and called up paypal once they placed a hold on my account. I was told by the Paypal offical that they agreed that I shipped the item, but that since the customer claimed it didnt arrive I was still liable. I've been researching suing paypal in small claims court but it looks like my chances of winning are only about 50%. Report this Post to the Staff
