Selling coins on eBay, Hints Tips?

Ozcoins · July 10, 2017, 10:13:01 PM

I don't sell much and I have not had much in the way of trouble.
No idea how a dispute would end, but I video each package (including the address) as it goes into the post box.
That is pretty clear proof I have kept my end of the bargain. If it is accepted or not could be a different matter.

I can't see your logic, Facebook would have far more scamsters selling coins and there is NO redress if you get ripped off either.

Wrong trout ... it doesn't work like that

I do free postage with registered,tracking,sign on delivery for items under $100.00. For expensive items i pay for extra insurance for piece of mind. Once bitten twice shy. Most buyers like the free postage offer.

I thought this would be discussed further, but it hasn't so:
Why do you say it does not work like that?
What redress is there for someone scamming on facebook?

Runways silly post didn't warrant a reply :ok:
There is NO redress on facebook if you feel that you have been scammed and it is definitely a case of buyer beware in that sales forum.
I have bought thousands of coins via eBay and I Have been disappointed on a very small number of occasions But on 99.99% of these occasions I have been able to return the coin/coins for a refund.
On only one instance have I been cheated on eBay and that was for a couple of Fakes that I was sent from India that I knew I was taking a chance on.
With the Vast majority of my eBay purchases I have been happy with the coins that were sent to me.

Your lack of experience isn't helping you here Trout .These days facebook is far safer than ebay.Ask anyone who actually buys on facebook because they deal with people they know and trust mostly and the groups weed out the fraudsters very quickly unlike ebay where they can linger

So all of a sudden there is now a buyer protection system and a 100% money back guarantee in place on facebook ?

I seriously doubt that this is the case in Every single facebook group :angel:

I look at each coin being listed on one particular FB group I'm involved in, if its falsely advertised or cleaned it gets deleted. If we dont have copies of their ID it gets deleted. We also make them put a payment method on their listing with most accepting paypal which as you know gives you buyer protection, if its bank deposit only most only deal with them if they are regulars. We have little to no issues of upset buyers and are just collectors looking to help each other out. The community is great and something you really are missing out on. Most big dealers and serious collectors are on there sharing knowledge daily. The gravy train is a great example of information sharing and people enjoying their collections, some of the things i have seen pop up there really do get you motivated to learn.
