eBay has been a gamble where I have been stuck with a fake product that I tested as non-silver, I use most often a Neodymium magnetic slide test and weight scale to be reasonably sure.
Another case was the seller never shipped or responded to my messages yet took the money and disappeared to which eBay eventually reimbursed me because I took reasonable measures to communicate the issues and willing to find a middle ground.
Only once I purchased a known fake coin but I use that as my Test control coin.
Otherwise, the bulk of my stacking business has been through RCM & BBB accredited retailers in my country, and my fav Local Coin shop.
My take, stay with Sellers with a history of good long Feedback records.
Good that ebay reimbursed you there!
Uhm, please tell me more about that slide, I've never seen anything like it. Meanwhile I shall google it to find out more.
Smart thinking about the fake coin for comparison!
When I bid in an auction I surely check their feedback, whenever I see too many negative, especially about questionable products, I move on, no matter how much I like a coin. This goes for other products too.
Thank you for sharing dear, I appreciate all the tips and stories I can learn from!
The coin slide is the product by an English gentleman in the UK who goes by the name of Cyber Curtain Twitcher on Instagram, I originally became familiar with him on YouTube and is known for his shtick for destroying fake coins and calling out fraud.
This is a small pocket model, there is a larger one. They come in at least three finishes and can be custom made to suit your taste. I chose red Oak to match my oak desk and my imaginary sailing vessel.
