EBay Sales

Goldseeker · August 05, 2014, 02:38:46 PM

I have this day just completed two sales on EBay of which one of them has been purchased by a gentleman who we have had many discussions about on this very forum.

Question: is there anything I should be weary about in regards to this person from Rainbow Beach?

Hello,

Not knowing who, if you are suspect I would send it registered Post even at your cost, and make sure the description has actual Photo's of the Coin and a grading based on your opinion. Take a large close-up with any marks, so you cant have another returned instead.

I thought that might happen. A matter of keeping an eye on ebay once I have sent the coin away.

I thought I knew who you were referring to and then I noticed you called him a "gentleman" (without the inverted commas). Now I am not sure -might ask trout if he knows who it could be!

If we are talking about Peter Wallace the I hope you got some good images of the coins sold.
There is every chance they will show up on the Bay either polished or slabbed by APCGS if bought by this "Person":dodgy:.
Another one on my Banned bidders List :ok:

Goldseeker · August 05, 2014, 07:20:40 PM

I have just completed several high definition scans and I have found some very nice marks on the obverse to identify this coin if and when he does try and relist it.

The only trouble is with sale is that I didn't recognise the final bidder as this "gentleman".

How does one ban bidders from bidding please?

If it is relisted polished etc, can I then have a dispute with EBay showing that this seller is shonky or what?

Australian coin · August 05, 2014, 07:33:18 PM

once the coin is sold I don't care what people do with it
ill find the banded bidder list, haha the amount of people on mine, haha I don't tolerate annoying people or ones that don't pay

you should log into your account before hand then go to the link
http://pages.ebay.com.au/services/buyandsell/biddermanagement.html
you then choose Blocked {Bidder/Buyer List}
haha 46 people on mine
note>> you have to copy the persons username then put a space or comma between name's have no idea if this works but I keep adding to it eg annoying_bidder01, the_non_payer100
then click submit button

Yeah after 5000 sales on ebay my banned list is pretty comprehensive and
it just keeps getting bigger

dreamcatcher · August 06, 2014, 10:15:46 AM

Can you guys describe some of the problems you've had and what gets people "banned"?

I'd be interested to know.

Feedback extortion, Non payment, unwarranted feedback, Dishonesty
Are the reasons for my banned bidders

Negative feedback for something Australia Post lost

JeffH · August 06, 2014, 01:15:25 PM

Mostly non payers who never respond even when a "money not received" case is lodged. Banned as soon as case is closed and eBay refunds final value fee.
One unusual one (actually happened twice but, I suspect same person under a different name) -sent many requests saying (s)he is a very fussy buyer and asking many questions about items. Continually requesting higher resolution photos and close ups; telling us what to look for in way of possible minor flaws and how to check for them. Banned as a time waster and likely complainer after an item was purchased and received. We don't mind questions -in fact that can sometimes highlight an omission in the description to be rectified- but this one was a hassle we could do without.
Also the odd one who disputes receipt of an item or even claims it was never received. Often the tone of the correspondence is such as to make us think it is a "try on". We always provide restitution and immediately ban them. If they haven't already done so this stops them being able to leave (possibly negative) feedback. So far we have 100% feedback rating.

Thankfully most eBayers are nice polite and honest folk and the ratbags are only a small minority.

And Goldie, that was the name I had in mind.

Australian coin · August 06, 2014, 08:46:27 PM

haha the best one I had recently was will you take this much for it {what}
it doesn't have make an offer haha

serial · August 06, 2014, 10:41:53 PM

What's wrong with that? If they make an offer then either negotiate with them or tell them you won't take offers. That's not a reason to ban someone.
