[ins]Tips For Seller - What to do /not to do with your parcel[/ins] 1. Never sticky tape directly on Capsules, Coins & Bars, no matter what values the value is. 2. Materials you can find at home - Kitchen Cling Wrap, Newspaper, even Toilet Paper , of course don't suggest you used the one that have been used. 3. Never put Loose stuffs in the box. Always buddle into one. If it rattle in the box then it is no good. This will eventually give way during the journey. ( suggest packed the Void with squeeze newspaper , bubble wrap ) 4. If the coin are 5 oz and over ( Heavy Coin ), comes with capsules, wrapped them up really good. Any shocked impact will cracked the capsules. Even you have to multiple wrapped them. 5. If the item comes in Original cardboard box, make sure the outer box can with stand impact. Again don't put them loose in the box as this will damaged OCB. 6. Make sure the materials you use are Free from Grease, dust, oil 7. Tube coins with Original Seal, again cling wrapped up first before Put taped on them. 8. Spend a bit of extra time wont hurt at all. People don't mind paying a bit extras for your items sell. 9. How to test if it Pass??? , If it rattle in the box then it Fail the Test. so packed them until there is no rattle. 10. Lastly, Any heavy content make sure put extra tape around the Outer Packaging . This goes for envelope content too. A Happy Buyer will always come back to you
For Seller, alway take photos of your parcel before sending them. This may be use to send to the buyer as proof of lodgement. Provide a Tracking number to the buyer after lodgement I would say, Normal parcel would take about 10 days to arrive. ETA Express parcel about 3 days max Anything beyond this please contact the seller.
and what would you do Chip when you sent an item and buyer upon receiving simply swaps the item for a blemished one and CC backcharge you... oh and you dealt with this buyer before...
No one have done that before. We all reputable members... You may get one bad apple among a box. I believe your products are not up to scratch, therefore may have some return. :/ I do get repeat members buying from me without any hassle. Chip
That's a bit rough. On a site where reputation is everything, a comment like that needs thought before posting.
How do any of these suggestions prevent fraud? Specifically if a SS member's account has been compromised by a third party?
A recent photos, will tell a lot of thing. I doubt that a third party have compromised his account. Don't even dare pickup my phone call
Dont send a coin in a Parcel Post bag ... at least attach it to a large A3 size piece of stout cardboard ... otherwise it is like sending a loose plastic bag flapping in the wind ...
That's an edge case. You can't prevent everything but it doesn't mean we can't discuss ways of ensuring there is trust in transactions on the forum. With the hijacking example, it is looking more and more like an excuse rather than a reality. In such a case with most of us here (if it happened to an honest member) we'd immediately contact someone we know who could post a warning about our ID, or create a new ID and login so we could post a warning and contact an admin.
In the event of a hijacked account all it could take is a call to gold stackers and talk to an administrator on 1300 618 363 ...
??? An Honest Trader have nothing to hide. Provide good photos and description of your products, I would recommend
