fraudulent listings

[pmil1480]

Be aware of fraud listings of Sterling Silver Coins.  People are listing Australian Florin  coins that have only 50% silver content as Sterling Silver 925. It is not.

To be Sterling silver  The content must be 92.5% Silver content and the remainder percentage of other metals usually copper.  

So Buyer beware

Claims to be a "collector" and not a "dealer" - I would suggest that given the number of his/her listings for coins and notes he is defintately a "dealer"

Maybe that statement implies (to him/her) that they don't have a B&M store, but sell from home. Poor wording because if you are buying to sell, you are a dealer. It would be an easy mistake to make though.

I agree with whoever said it, not responsible for lost mail? Try telling eBay that. Yes, you are responsible for lost mail, regardless of what you write. Policy even states that you're not meant to write that in your listings. One could even say it's a policy violation.

Check OPs feedback as a buyer,he's buying coins and he's selling coins make it what you will.

I've dealt with all the dealers/sellers that OP has dealt with 

Plus once I sold $1000 I was a dealer not a collector that was reaching into my coffers lol

I totally agree with you, he's buying to sell, so he's a dealer. He just probably doesn't see himself as that because he doesn't have a shop. I'd like to have a shop because then I'd know I was selling enough to warrant one!

I know you'd like to have a shop tippy lol and no guessing what I'd like to have lol

   Devil's Advocate here 

Don't all collector's sell off their doubles to make a quid to pay for further collectables?

Or even, *gasp, clutching pearls*, buy cheap to re-sell, to cushion the cost of further adding to their collections?

I know I always did. 

Spoiler

And I got jumped on when I first called myself a dealer on these boards.  
I was told unless I was selling drugs, then I was just a seller. 

Just sayin'

Always put second hand in front of dealer so you don't get mistaken

Hahhahahaha   Tell that to the guys in blue with the 12 lb door key  hahahahaha

I did actually think that when people were discussing dealers, but wasn't game to say anything. Cash Converters and the like call themselves dealers and I always wonder if they are dealing drugs too.

Yes, I've sold off doubles to make money to buy new collectables that I want. I've also sold off entire collections when I've lost interest in that and have an interest in something else. I've bought several identical things at garage sales with the intention of keeping the best one and selling the others. I also buy things to resell. I'm not a dealer though, just a seller. I'd probably make way more if I was a dealer!
