I applaud the seller's effort to use the venue to educate. Unfortunately people will still 'sort by highest price' when they are trying to understand the value of Grandpa's 'rare' stamps.

Interesting. The person is making a point in that the good sellers have to find ways to show why they can be trusted while others may not without violating ebay rules.

Education is key but some will never learn and fall for schemes. I subscribe to the county sheriff report and notice there is usually one person almost every week that sends money using apple cash cards to someone for an obviously bogus reason.

I am impressed and glad to see a seller that is actually setting the facts straight for the stamp buyers out there. Each day we see lots with outrageous prices and descriptions trying to lure buyers that are too lazy to research the stamps and trust the seller's assumption about the rarity of a stamp.

This only proves that all sellers are not out there to deceive and rip off buyers.

This would be a candidate if we had a wall of fame.

This is actually an excellent idea. I can see a version using a trimmed revenue, masquerading as a true imperforate. What else to do with them?
