Anyone know why people pay suck a huge premium on Ebay for IKE dollars? I have a bank that's willing to order them and it seem like people buy them for a good premium. It there a catch I am over looking? What gives?
.Plus i did it behind Ebays back, and gave the guy free shipping..no fees..or it wouldnt even be worth.
How?
I cashed a check today, and bought $100 worth of dimes, nothing good there. The teller said she had $20 in Ike dollars and wanted to know if I wanted them. The real answer was no, but I took them. Question: Is this a true double die? 1976 Philadelphia<img src="http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=717153"/><img src="http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=717154"/>
Well I was selling them as sets of 5 orginally, and he asked how many I had, and made me an offer for the 50. Which I told him I would do, but couldnt do it on ebay because of the high fees. I have a 100 percent feedback rating for my sales, So he said that was fine. So i removed my listing And when he paid me thru PayPal, he did it as a "Gift" So no fees ever occured.
Ive acutally done this many of times, Of course its not safe on thier end, but I am an honest man, and the last thing I want to do is Give Feebay or Paypal any more of my money..I have been screwed over by them many of times, and not just fees, but by them lockign my account for a month or 2 because i made more than 500 in a week, and it seemed "Suspicous" to them
Let's see. You have a listing on ebay. You use their services. then ... you get a buyer, you remove your listing, and you sell it to them without paying ebay for securing the buyer for you, which they DID. And you follow that up with the sentence "I am an honest man"? You ripped off ebay for their fees and then say you are honest? LOLOLOL. Granted, you can sell with ebay or you can sell without ebay, but if you DO USE ebay, and then stop the auction early in order to sell to THEIR client WITHOUT paying them ... you are NOT an honest man. Sorry. Stealing legitimate fees from someone to increase your profit does not fall into the "honest" category. Just the opposite in fact! You even said he LIED on what the payment was for, in order to avoid the legitimate fees on paypal too! And your justification of it by saying they have screwed you over in the past? Just your way of rationalizing your THEFT of services.
An honest man. lol. thanks for the chuckle.
He sounds pretty honest to me. Why would you side with a corporation over the underdog? eBay/PayPal are well known thieves and you can read evidence of this at paypalsucks.com and ebayexodus.com.
Sickens me and most of my generation, which is why we fear for the future.
Why side with the corporation? He sounds honest? REALLY? The reason I side with the corporation is because in THIS case he ADMITS to DEFRAUDING them. that is not honest, refardless of whether you call him "the underdog" or not. Is theft of their fees due not theft to you?? What a warped world we live in when if you defraud a "corporation" it is still "honest"! Sickens me and most of my generation, which is why we fear for the future.
