Why Jewelry Auctions, Inc. Does NOT Offer gem Cards...

Gem Cards can be viewed as a "hot button" for many buyer's. The buyer sees the word "Certified" and think they're getting an extra added value. However, when the item arrives and it looks nothing like the picture on the Gem Card and/or the stated value on card is a "pie in the sky" value and then decide to return the item to the seller - the real lesson begins.

Always remember that money is made is various ways by such sellers. The list can go on and on however, here's the short list for review:

• The seller offers limited time to return an item.
  
• The seller retains the Buyer's Premium on returned items.
  
• The seller is slow to answer emails or telephone calls.
  
• The seller returns Negative Feedback with remarks, which are uncommon for professional jewelers or those in the jewelry trade.
  
• The seller has many Negatives, dozens or hundreds of Mutual Withdrawals and many Neutrals.
  
• Review as much Feedback as possible before purchasing. This is vital in determining whether or not to purchase from the seller. Review as many Negative, neutral and Withdrawals as possible and then read the Positives.
  
• The goal of jewelry and gem sellers is to "sell" and make money. If the seller offers *Declasse Gems (either in settings or loose) then the returns are coming the sellers way however, if the seller retains the Buyer's Premium and charges High Restocking Fees then the seller is ALWAYS making money (even on the returns). In addition, the buyer may also have to pay for shipping fees both ways (coming and going).
