[Markknott]

Hi I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. My question is, has anybody purchased silver via Ebay from the Silver team?

Have you got a link to their ebay account, just tried to search but nothing came up.

[Markknott]

He goes by thesil60.

I think trusted dealers are the way forward as I haven't received my items.

I had a look at the 3 coins he currently has available on eBay.....

Not exactly shy with his prices, is he? 

[daz]

I would be very wary of a seller with feedback like his , most of his small amount of feedback is obviously not actually for sales just takes to get some reciprocal feedback , 1p items that don't even say what it is he is selling . 

He's only been a member for a couple of weeks.

That should set some major alarm bells ringing , even if you do get a coin through the post I would do every test on it possible as I would have have serious doubts about it being genuine

[Markknott]

Oh well lessons learned. I think the main one is, red wine and Ebay don't mix. The other is find a reputable dealer so would like some advice there. I am looking to start saving 1oz silver coins. I started collecting British campaign medals some years ago. I then started with silver crowns mainly victorian and now feel the need to stack some silver. Thank to all who replied and for the welcome.

Open an eBay case and get your money back.

My wife is on it as I'm not the best with tech. It was painfull for me to get on this forum. Plus if I knew you could get all the details you need to make a judgement about Ebay sellers I wouldn't be in the fix I'm in 

[Markknott]

Well the item finally arrived. Had to pay postage because the seller didn't pay the right amount.

Have you done any tests on it ?

[Markknott]

Yes I've tested it on the scales, ring test and magnet. All good I think. I will gravity test it the weekend.

I bet your relieved?

[Markknott]

Yeah very relieved. I'm finding out there are lots of pitfalls with silver. I have more confidence in buying British campaign medals and sovereigns. To be honest I find the premiums you pay on top of spot price including vat are very high. 

[greektony]

Thats why you should buy your silver direct from Europe...... www.EuropeanMint.com & www.GoldSilver.be

[Markknott]

Is there a minimum spend? And thank you very much for your help.

EM and GS.de are great if you buy more than 300oz. Just remember about shipping and currency exchange fees.
