Will ebay reform before it's too late?
There are so many fake rare coins on ebay, such as this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3955360534 Anyone familiar with US coins can see that the two "7"s in the date are of the incorrect style. But people are bidding on it! But despite dozens of collectors spending hours of their time reporting these fakes to ebay, ebay does nothing. Many people are being cheated and when they try and have the coin authenticated or resell it, they believe that the legitimate coin dealer is a crook for telling him his "valuable" ebay purchase is worthless. Many of these "burned" people will never buy coins again, removing them forever from the pool of collectors, causing downward pressure on the prices of genuine coins. Today I just got a chargeback from Paypal on a $47 item that I mailed yesterday to a confirmed address, paid the 20 cents extra to paypal for online tracking, insurance, and delivery confirmation...yet Paypal is taking the money out of my checking account TODAY until they can conduct an investigation. Ebay cannot continue to operate in this manner until it becomes nothing but a "venue" for crooked buyers and crooked sellers. It's well on the way already. -- RARE COIN AUCTIONS NO MINIMUMS http://www.frankcoins.com Ebay Powerseller FRANKCOINS Texas Auction License 11259 Board member of Texas Coin Dealers Association, Member: Texas Numismatic Assoc, American Numismatic Assoc. |
