Any one hear of ebay seller..."paulb_coins"

...I'm watching one of his auctions. He has 100% feedback and a decent return policy... I'm just wondering if any of the board has purchased anything from him...Thanks

No! If you read into his feedbacks carefully, you will have better understanding of the seller.

I read through most of his feedbacks as both a seller and a buyer. He seems to sell mainly raw stuff and the occasional slabbed piece. Nothing is really popping out at me... am I missing something??

The only thing negative I see about this seller is the seller states that the seller is not responsible for lost items in the mail if the buyer does not buy insurance. Then says pay with paypal-both paypal and ebay have a pretty definite policy on nonreceived items and the seller is at risk anytime they ship an item. Greg, correct me if I'm wrong as I am sure you will know mmore about this as large a seller as you are.

If they ship via PayPal it will add delivery confirmation but insurance is optional and not required. I have the same statement about insurance in my auctions.

I use that insurance statement also.

 

With Paypal, you're protected as a seller if:

 

Under $200, you use Delivery Confirmation

Over $200, you use Signature Confirmation

 

It amazes me that the person who buys a $25 item buys insurance about 50% of the time.

 

The guy who spends $500 almost never buys insurance.

You may be protected from fraud with that policy, but you aren't protected. What happens when that guy who buys the $500 coin declines insurance, you buy Signature Confirmation only and the coin gets lost in the mail? PayPal won't cover you for that. Insurance protects the seller and I always add it into my shipping fees up front.
