Scam on ebay

I just wanted to let everyone who shops on ebay that there's a scam going on with a sheet of 12 5oz Panda's all the listings are from Hong Kong or China and 99% have a 0 feedback and have set up there account in April. If you look at the coin you will see 5oz ag.999 but there is no denomination on the coin.If you want to see it go to ebay and put in 5oz panda and 69 different sellers will come up. they all start at $170-178 and include free shipping.Randy

ive seen all then it sucks that the fakes far outnumber the real coins now. i collect pandas, but will never buy one of Ebay any more. i will only buy Pandas off the dealer folks like PandaAmerica.... its not worth the risk IHMO

and i only buy the single coins... when folks are buying sheets... its even less a good idea to buy them off Ebay!

Scam on Ebay

I just wanted to let everyone who shops on Ebay that there's a scam going on with a sheet of 12 5oz Panda's all the listings are from Hong Kong or China and 99% have a 0 feedback and have set up there account in April. If you look at the coin you will see 5oz ag.999 but there is no denomination on the coin. And just looking at the coin you can see it's not a mint product. If you want to see it go to ebay and put in 5oz panda and 69 different sellers will come up. they all start at $170-178 and include free shipping. I know this forum is for American coins but alot of people buy the Panda's. I just went on the site and most of the scammers are off but there are a couple they let stay on because they had some feedback and the feedback is from the same people several times. Thanks. Randy

I think it's important to note all scams on Ebay, since most Ebay coin buyers also buy other stuff on Ebay.

Thanks Randy!
