I feel like I need to comment on Ebay sellers, since I know couple of people who sell on Ebay and have personaly purchased from Ebay and was very satisfied!
Geo1000 is right, most of the diamond sellers do offer the "gogs",...
I hope I dont have to explain what "dog" means in diamond terminology, however most people don't know the difference,... So you can pick op a 1/2 carat F/VS2 for $800 EGL certed! When you get the diampnd home you feel like you got yourself a great deal, because the cert will tell you all looks "Good" or "Goor to Fair".
Well the dogs are part of every parcel and they needs to be sold. So the seller is happy to find a buyer on Ebay, where the price is important!
There are also sellers who sell absolutely substandard quality. This means lowest grades less than Gem quality not suitable for jewelry but very much suitable for ..... Cutting glass??.. That is when you can buy 1carat diamond for $150...
Than there are sellers who sell gem quality. Such sellers are easy to be recognized. Their merchandize is often offered with certifficate of an appraisal or mention of it they offer fair service and terurn policy,...
Ebay is a great tool to fingd a good deal, some sellers use Ebay as a tool for fast sale at fair price! So yes, you can find a great deal on Ebay,..
And you can fond a great diamond on Ebay! And in my poinion Ebay is safe place to buy! Your purchases are insured, payments are secure and you get to post feedback every time you make a purchase.
One thing,... don't deal with sellers with negative feedback, ask questions because the small seller who has an acess to diamond stock at amazing prices can find you a stone you are looking for!
I found the Ebay sellers are mostly small companies just starting out they are cutters , importers, dealers or jewlers. Rarely private individuals who offer their ring for sale just to get rid of it at any price,...
Ebay is fun! And grat place to buy, if you know what are you looking for,...
