Title: Ebay: Pay $1 - Get $2
Post by: Nevol on June 01, 2013, 03:34:11 PM
$2 Australian Coin - The Nile Stimulus Package.  Only one per customer.
Free shipping.  Anyone ever heard of it?  My son says it's legit.

The seller has some pretty bad seller feedback in relation to other items.

Looks like a way to boost feedback. The amount of negs and neutrals are more than enough for me to stay clear.

Its an expensive way to buy positive feedback

over the 150 coins he would have lost

$150 face value of coins
$90 postage
$30 approx ebay/paypal fees

So that is $270 and thats not even including the cost of his time in posting out all those items.

crazy  :shok:

From the feedback I have read, most is buyer impatience and bad communication on the part of the seller. I ight buy from them, but never again from Egypt.

Wow, there is some desperation to save feedback percentage. Get it right the first time and the 'rescue' it's not needed
