There's always going to be dishonest people looking to take advantage of you. You just have to do your homework and be informed before you purchase. Its a shame that there are people like that though.
Thank you for this video to let people know of the many scams on ebay. A seasoned collector will know the scams but new or novice collectors may not. Your video supplies valuable information. Love your channel.
A viewer had reached out to me about a questionable listing, and I'd just seen that 1947 "Dot-No-Dot." I know a lot of my viewers will be pretty savvy, but sadly, these types of scam listings exist because lots of folks just don't know. I thought I should post something. Hopefully someone will benefit from the info. Thanks for watching!
I've been on the receiving end of that, pal. I managed to order from a seller a 1997 Canadian 50-cent piece (or was it a 1998 since IDK when did the RCM introduced the new version of the Arms of Canada for the coin), and I feel like I've been swindled by the seller who was selling that coin as to there weren't any updates from tracking if it's arrived in to my local post office. And I've been waiting for already a year or more! I REALLY got screwed!
@@CADRollHunter when I talked to the seller about it, I said it's been over six months and I wonder what happened. The seller said, and I quote "well you waited long to message me, I can't do nothing about this now". And I'm like welp, there goes CA$3-4 down the drain (plus shipping expense), and I didn't responde to the seller after. So that's why I don't trust eBay when it comes to selling these ever again.
Not only are some sellers bad, mail theft is a thing too, I ordered a a silver dime and a nickel dollar one time and it never showed up, I thought it was maybe lost in shipping, then I ordered a bunch of silver dimes again the same week and the enveloped came sliced open, luckily all the dimes were there because he taped them inside a Christmas card, but someone along the way may have figured out I was ordering ding a bunch of coins off eBay every week and was trying to steal them, the envelope was sliced open like he tried to shake the coins out After that I changed my shipping address to my friend's house so I didn't have coins coming to my house, I am probably safe to switch it back now this was over a year ago I should have reported it to the post office but I never did, I bet they take mail tampering aeriously
I don't like buying coins on the internet because you never know what you're getting. I like to see what I'm getting. Feel it look at it. That's how I buy my stuff in person. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
The description for the 2nd listing is 100% ai generated, eBay added the feature and it just rewords the info the seller already put in, the seller was just being lazy about his scam.
Absolutely - that's one of things I discuss in the video. Look at the reviews and pay attention to how many there are. If there's just one, they might have left that review for themselves, or had someone they know leave it.
Tis the season! Have a happy and blessed holiday!
You, too. Thanks so much for your support and encouragement! Happy holidays, and Happy New Year!

It's really sad that's the kind of world we live in, for sure!

Thanks so much! If it's helpful for even one person to avoid getting scammed, then it was worth the effort to put the video out there. Thanks!
I appreciate you bringing awareness to this, especially during a time of the year that most people are buying gifts for people.

THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO, EMILE FROM CT.
Thanks, Emile!!
There's always an advantage because if you get scammed there's no way you'll get the right item
Nobody wants to get scammed. Always pays to do your homework!
I'm waiting for the CAND show in Hamilton in January. I don't trust eBay at all.

That's a real bummer! I haven't had that experience myself, but I've talked to others who've had the same thing happen.

@@digginggopher Oof, pal.
$500 for a common penny. And I thought Americans were crooks. Sheesh.
Thank you for an informative video as usual!
But is the shipping free? ;)
Thanks for watching!!

I'm right with you on that! And no waiting, and no surprises!

So funny! That actually crossed my mind... But now, they get even less respect from me (if that was possible, of course), for lacking creativity!
Dear James, the first coin you discuss is offered by someone with 1 review. No one in his right mind would buy there.
Absolutely - that's one of things I discuss in the video. Look at the reviews and pay attention to how many there are. If there's just one, they might have left that review for themselves, or had someone they know leave it.
