    I've been on Ebay since it's beginning. They are just plain awful. I have a stellar Seller rating and they have placed my Seller Accounts on Restrictions and Holds numerous times. They have customer service agents sometimes that makes you wonder

    what kind of Country did they come from. Just last month an Ebay customer service agent asked me over the phone where do I get my products from. I manufacture my own line of Electronics products. She asked me where do I source my products.

    I wanted to reply are you Retarded or something? Why would you want to know where I get the materials to assemble and make my products from. Your just a lowly CS Rep and what business is it of yours. I called you to fix an ebay problem, not for this bs!

    Ebay is something else, They have Amazon & Dropshippers with 20-30% negative feedback ratings and they praise them, yet they Restrict people with not a Single Ding on our History. And Yes on the Rare Occasionallity that I do have to place an order for

    source materials from China even I cant figure out why I'm being charged Sales & Use Taxes, they wont respond to my emails. Ebay's Fees are NOW 15%. HIGHWAY ROBBERY. EBAY is robbing everyone blind! I haven't even begun... I could Rant for days about

    Ebay. New law requires ebay to collect and remit state sales tax. But items shipped direct from mainland China or HongKong are not subject to state sales tax. Period. Ebay collecting "sales tax" on these transactions is theft. No state is entitled to collect them, so ebay can keep the money. I've seen some pretty shabby tactics from ebay  - Wierd Al from Nevada S&G

    I track all of ebays tax takings and have my accountant submit it with my taxes.

    Though it is not really an Expense or Income for me at, least the FED and LOCAL tax authorities know exact figures from me of

    what has been taken from my customers.

    Actually that is incorrect as most states require internet sales, sales tax to be collected now. What is I think not right is we have no idea what they have submitted to the tax authorities 

    on our behalf.

    Here's an example of the garbageness. Yesterday I had to cancel an item. While pulling it for shipment, I had noted a flaw I had not seen before. Since the buyer was a noob, I knew that this posed all kinds of risks, so I first contacted her to disclose the flaw and ask whether she still wanted it. Being a noob, of course, she did not respond; probably had no idea why I would do that, or couldn't find the 'reply' button, or was practicing social e-distancing. So I canceled it rather than risk late shipment or a random neg. All seemed to go through fine including her refund. However, on my selling summary page, it still shows one item needing to be shipped, and one feedback needing doing. If I click on either, of course, nothing is there. I hate Ebenezer.

    Yep happened to me a year ago and I got slammed on feedback. I dropped the item to ship and broke - Informed the buyer and refunded money and got luckily only a neutral.

    Stays on for a year.

    There was a change between then and now as you cannot leave feedback either way now if an item is cancelled.

    Now I have decide what to do ...

    Stick it out and give em' hell jgrinz.  EBay has become too big and too controlling.

    There is only ONE reason I will stay there, is my VARIETY of "THINGS" I sell there, otherwise for the 10.3 percent for Ebay and the 

    3.5 percent for PAYPAL its almost worth it to use GC. Which I still may move all the coin biz over there and give EBAY less volume.

    I under the impression that GC is at 15% and zero if over $1000 - Is this correct?

    Which I didn't have to be a business but forced to by my accountant cause of volume :/

    Have a nice day

    Weird. I don't offer returns at all and haven't been pummeled about it. Of course, if the product should fail to match the description, they can still return it. But that has been the case ever since I started.

    This is the loophole - I cant have 14 days returns policy buyer pays return BUT I can have NO return policy and they are happy with that.

    The alternative as stated is a 60 day return policy and I pay return with a forced no restocking fee.

    If I am reading this old document correct. Too Lazy to even change the dates on the thing.

    What every - My Three days are almost up then they will get an ear full :-)

    Thanks for listening

     

  5. You may be wondering why I have been posting some of my WAREZ on the Marketplace here ...

    Well maybe not … But I need to vent so 

    They shut me off, oh MY GOD that is EBAY, for 3 days because I would not comply to their

    new return policy.

    Pretty funny as all the documentation I have seen concerning said return policy says MAY 2018 ...hmmm..

    Even their new email to me

    No I wont change my return policy sorry … If someone changes their mind OR found a cheaper price elsewhere

    THEY are going to pay to return it!  

    "Streamlined returns policies" My

    They do not realize they are Convenient not Necessary

    Thank You and Have a nice day

     

     

     

     

     

  6. Its definitely worth getting graded and holdered ( Details Grade ) 

    If its worth "preserving" is up to you but I think any contaminants can be neutralized to help keep it looking this way

    and not worse.

    Environmental damage yes but the details grade is going to be "Fine" or so, not bad

    The scratch in front is distracting but in the reverse it almost looks like a CRACK as there is extruded metal … any expert here can verify that for her/him

    C00l coin thanks for sharing

    Nice extra, I too am not seeing the numbers in the denticles; and for what is worth I've always felt that some of the vam's look more like strike doubling than true doubling.

    Always cool to have something extra like this on a coin. Now show us the whole coin (because we're bored...). PS - I'm having trouble seeing the MPD in the denticles but I trust it's there.

     

    On My picture - its difficult because of the toning 

    The 1 is below the 1 to the right and the 8 is directly below the first 8

    If you follow the 5 left and see how denticles are supposed to look like 

    you should be able to spot the difference when you get to below the 8 and the 1

    You are looking in the crevasse, not the bumps :-)

     

  9. With better pictures I would may change my mind.

    The dark areas of the coin could be partial reflective surfaces 

    but they dont look like that.

    Even though is a "O" mint, which is usual for a weak strike, that will not make the gouges and field 

    abrasions seen on this coin. 

    May squeak to an AU
