After nearly 100 great trades on Numista I have received my first negative feedback (a 2 star from Malaysian trader). My profile stated standard mail at buyers risk--apparently my letter to him has been lost in the post.
I did try to remedy the situation by offering 2/3rd of the original coin numbers (18 replaced by 12), but he got greedy and picked high value coins.
I also offered to buy his 18 coins off him (the trade he sent me) and these worked out to about $12.00US value in Krause, and I wanted to pay this by PayPal--He stated that there was 4 silver coins involved - but this is not true, he would not part with them even though he ticked them off in the trade line-up
I have now decided I will not trade with countries other than Australia, USA ,Canada, and Western Europe, and this is a shame as I had made many friends throughout the world through this site
this even happens in the Netherlands (western Europe), I sold something to someone, gave them a rating, although they paid by bank, sent the item. Finally when they get it, they think the price is too high... com'on why did you buy it in the first place then? (for the idiot check Ebay, thats 15 Euros, my price 10 Euros.)

could I ask to cancell by bad rating too?
because I sent to my opponent coins anyway. I mean - for free. And I have posted also about it here in the forum. https://en.numista.com/forum/topic25472.html - see my post from May, 14th

Are you checking the wishful listings on ebay, or the sold, realistic prices?
I'd have to see the condition of the Poland Cu-Ni 1949 coins, before judging.
You may have been way off on the 50Kr Bi-metal 1993. I didn't check the others.
even if it should calulate for $1 , anyway, the total price was too worth $ 35. and, regarding postage price - its not depends on me.
there were coins , more that 60 pieces. , and some of them are quite scarce, and , the main thing - his mesage: " hi Dat ! This price is great for me !" And we agried about this price. Anyway, I sent him his coins. and case is closed.
I dont ask to cancell whole comment, but change " no star" to " no rate" at least.
Again - I sent him 60+ coins for free, and paid about 12 euros for postage.

Everything is relative. Where I'm from, a 1 lb. bag of various nice world coins is $7 -$9, as previously covered in this topic... https://en.numista.com/forum/topic12867.html That is 90 - 100 coins, on average.

Maybe it was the right thing to do, as an apology for trying to take advantage, a little bit?
Verweis : Dato MikeladzeI have spent too much time to prepare your envelop today, - more than 1,5 hour! Do you think, I dont have more bussiness on Friday evening? Or maybe you think I need or miss your $35? By the way, Im doctor of Surgery, active surgeon of abdominal cavity , and also Im Senior Analyst of the most largest Insurance Company of Georgia. 1 hour of my time in Surgery operating room costs $150-to $ 450 and someone lifeI And I was sitting all the Friday evening and boring with your coins to amke you happy instead of playing with my children, whom I see a few minutes per day !

Dear Jacub,
I completely understand you, - I was student too, but, please dont mix coin price with fees price. I dont need to calculate your total claim. I see just that you are pay for each coin $35/ 70 = 0,5 dollar. And you see that Im sending you coins . All other is postal fees and Paypal fees, and etc. If I will use envelop which costs $ 10, my claim will be $ 10. If I will go to the Post by bus, my claim will + $0,5, by car + $7 so on :0 but I dont ask you to pay also envelop price, wrap tape price, stapler nails price, petrol price which I must to use on the way to Post etc... :) I just sending you coins. By the way, Georgia still use stamps, so you will receive an envelop with valuable stamps on it.
So, if you want a package up to 250 gramms, you will have to pay $35+ 15, and $35+ 22 for the package more than 250.
If you want to buy them, I wil give you nice price. But I accept only Paypal.
I don't respond well to used car salesman tactics, like "I will give you nice price" and I would not have paid anyone $35 dollars for some non-silver, common world coins. Maybe 10€, if the condition was really appealing. I would need quality photos for that.
Anyway, thanks for publicly sharing your opinion on the matter. It was an entertaining read with secret links and gave me the opportunity to share my opinion on the incident. If you never brought it up, I would not have noticed the issue.

Swaps with strangers do involve some risks. So I did swap with a fellow dutchman who was happy with the coins he got, but I did only got 4 stars. Who cares anyway, he did add some great coins to his collection and me either. Forget that 2 stars rating and go over to the next one.
Verweis : TeslasGhostSuggestion: Set up dropbox, take good photographs of all coins, and request the same.
That way, each party is under no illusions as to what is expected.
Hi Teslasghost--- Yes i do this on every occasion- (have always done so)take photo of the coins involved and also scan of the letter prepared for mailing- the fact that letter got lost in post is the problem ,and receiving bad feedback after several attempts to rectify situation- and also have a scan of the coins he sent me- there was no silver involved, and a full Krause value on the coins of less than $12.00-and i offered to reimburse this amount thru paypal, but trader stopped all conversation and placed inappropriate feedback-I think he was asking for more (getting greedy and trying to make a gain out of a bad situation)--considering that he was aware that coins were sent at buyers risk I was not impressed
still waiting for Bam to fix feedback as he promised, but he is not responding to messages
