http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...281228804540Listen to this..... Just checked my feedback @ ebay.... Quote: not one time did your ad mention a single stamp.i expected 4.i am returning this Thats what it said.... I am incorrect for not stating it was for a single stamp? The single stamp is shown and a arrow is pointed to it on the certificate.... The catalog value stated is for 1 item, not a BLK4.... Really???

The arrow is real small and if you hadn't said it I would have missed it too. You ad did not indicate a single stamp, the cert is what people will see. I agree with the purchaser that the description was not complete enough.

I agree with Art. You can't presume that potential buyers even have a catalog, or a recent catalog or even Scott's. You do really have to spell things out on ebay. |

Quote: I am incorrect for not stating it was for a single stamp? yes especially when not everything in the pic is included, some type of description of what is included is required |

I have learned that you really have to spell everything out on ebay item descriptions and even then a lot of folks don't read the item descriptions. |

Kevin, yes, I have to agree with the consensus. You made a good visual attempt to show one stamp only, but it would have been better to spell it out, and have a larger arrow. (Note: You are bidding on the one stamp shown only!) Very nice stamp, by-the-way. |

Same here, I clicked the link before even reading the post and assumed it was the block, sorry :( You really have to make an effort to avoid any confusion, even if it seems obvious to you as a seller. Good luck in your future sales!

As a fairly active ebay buyer, that is one small pet peeve of mine..stamp sellers often only put a picture in the description,even though your pictures are very nice.But after 20k transactions I thought you would have heard it all.  |

I concur with the others. The arrow is totally lost in the transaction/description. Listing would have been better by stating Bidding for one stamp - the "top right corner" or whatever it is ... |

A picture like you have done of the certificate with a red circle drawn around the stamp being sold helps better than changing your way of describing things. Use Paint from Windows or free GIMP. |

OK... Description in the title bar states cv$75...
A block of 4 catalogs more than that. The title does not state blk 4....
Plus...he/she mad a offer less than the asking which was accepted. Oh well...I believe Im right. I did tell to return for a refund....gladly. I do strive for 100% satisfaction.... Guess Im the dummy....

I_Love_Stamps@ I agree from a buyer point of view it is miss leading and Seller must use appropriate descriptions to avoid miss understanding and return of the items.
I am regular buyer from "sheetguy2" and if he reads this topic please do what ever necessary to avoid conflicts. Happy buyer will tell 3 more guys about good but unhappy buyer will tell 10 more guys about bad experience.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone here. |

It's in the description, but it almost gets lost as part of the 'fine print'. I would suggest moving the description above the photo. The problem is that as a seller it's time consuming to scan, download and describe bunches of stamps. That's why in general we see more and more ebay auctions with just a title and photo. EDIT: the #120, not the Franklin. That one slipped in there while I was posting. :) |
