Not sure. The stereotype is that stamp collectors are stingy, grouchy old men who love to gripe.

Looks like we've come to the right place! Though going by some recent auction prices, some stamp collectors really don't care what they spend on their hobby.
Of course, the classic stingy, grouchy, griping old man was a coin collector and all around money hoarder, Scrooge McDuck, who was Donald Duck's cheap and avaricious Uncle Scrooge of Disney cartoons and comic books.
And the observation made is based on some selected picks. I don't suppose there is a way of getting an overall average of ratings for all stamp sellers and all coin sellers on eBay.

Hello everyone.....
I've been buying and selling on ebay about four years and the overwhelming majority of people I've dealt with have been great. The only two negative experiences I've had have were from two non-paying bidders. (I've been keeping track and I've had dealings with people in 42 states and 26 foreign countries.) In my opinion I have found that stamp collectors in general, are a decent bunch of folks.

I've done about 50-60 transactions and all of my stamp buying experiences on ebay have been positive. I suspect, the negative feedback might be caused by a few collectors with "oversensitive gums". Since sellers seldom scan and post the gum side, that's one area that the buyer can be surprised with.

I had a buyer who upon recieving his stamp(s) immediately submitted negative feedback without even bothering to attempt to contact me for resolution. Sometimes negative feedback is left without an attempt to resolve the issue.
