Ausjack,
I hope my post was not upsetting to you.  It was not intended to be.
I read the posts here (and intended my post) to be "mates looking out for each other"....

In the past i have been ripped off by supposed close friends,using their kids to steal from me,i made the mistake of trusting them.

:shok:
Nice parenting. How can people even use kids to do stuff like this.

MORE,you want MORE, Nah no Fagan but if i had'nt cottoned on early in the piece i wonder just how far they would have gone.

No Morals No values & not a decent bone in their bodies,just scum ! Rob.
I'd like to tell the full & complete story but it would take forever.

If someone is dead set on finding out personal information or exactly where you live, it isn't that hard.

Stop to think for a minute, it would be a safe bet to assume most of you purchase off of ebay. If you have and ever had anything sent Registered Post then they now know where you live. It is that simple.

I work for the state government in the healthcare field, I have a security licence and a nursing accreditation. All this information is easily obtainable online or by phoning the respective organisation. I gave up being too concerned a long time ago. I am cautious and careful for myself and my family but I do not allow this to ruin my life. It is a delicate juggling act but only you as a person knows exactly how much energy to invest.

Happy collecting

good points Chris

but I always have a PO Box for ebay stuff , never a home address

I also have my eBay feedback set as "private" so that sellers can't see what other items I have bought.

I think that the "Private" status on eBay is annoying.
Especially where coins are involved, the provenance of the coins bought on eBay has been removed by the seller, especially with high value coins.

I think that if anyone is selling on eBay, everything should be open and above board and nothing should be hidden.
A good idea if you are a bit paranoid and are simply buying for your own collection but otherwise :dodgy:

[Mister T]

You can't sell if your status is private.

[trout]

You can't sell if your status is private.

Yes you can, I bought a coin from this seller, Check out the feedback :good:

Sellers can make a particular sale private but their feedback has to be set to public when they list items.

[Mister T]

Ah right. I wasn't sure about the technicalities of it all but I thought there was something you couldn't do with a private status.

[robbiegal]

provenance on coins on ebay is a tad questionable as well

many norti sellers pinch pics from other sellers or auction/internet sites and quite often these are good coins that you do keep an eye on

they are the ones that I've spotted

My understanding was you couldn't send to a PO Box if it was registered? I thought that was eBay's rules.
