    I don't think they have changed any rules, but I really do not think they are enforcing rules any more.

    Yay, Now all my coins can be perfect 70s with no problems even if they looked like they fell in a garbage disposal.
    Welcome back Star Grading Service, I love you guys, You give me all 70's!

    Seriously, I think that there will be less security and more scams on Ebay now.

    Yep, you can do this for sure. Multiple listings of the same coin as long as something in the duplicate listing is changed and is just a bit different. Like using the same header but changing the end to Lot#2, Lot#3, Lot#4, etc. Their filters will not pick up on everything, including the same TPG number. I long ago gave up sending them suggestions on how to improve their site. For instance, why is there a link from the Half.com home page to Ebay but not the other way around, so you don't have to open separate windows for both. An easy fix.

    Not really.

    The duplicate listings policy is designed to help you list in a way that makes it easy for buyers to find and compare items that interest them.

    You can't have more than one fixed price listing of an identical item at the same time.

    You can have more than one auction-style listing for identical items. However, only one duplicate auction-style listing without bids appears on eBay at a time. Separate listings may be created for the same item on different eBay sites, as long as the international shipping options don't result in the listings cluttering the search results of any individual site. Learn more about how duplicate auction-style listings appear on eBay.

    I list a lot of minor errors including the 2009P FY Lincoln Cents. Every die crack, die chip, die break is unique unto itself. I start off with the same header in my listing but have to describe each lot a bit differently because they are. So each photo is also different because of this but the errors remain the same technically. And they have never removed any of my listings so I must be doing it right?

    Yes! You are selling different coins with different descriptions. Why would you even suspect there was a problem?

    Only because of the header not being changed, ergo, Lot #1, Lot#2, etc. EBay's filters do not seem to pick this up (duplicate listings) on many sellers. For instance, while searching for 2009 cent errors, I came across a dealer who changed nothing but had 50 listings of the same exact material for sale. (BIN). So I thought, to be on the safe side and because my listings were so similar, to do it the way I did so as not to have them removed. And the original reason was that another ebayer reported me for multiple same listings and they were all removed with the exception of one, so I got all these policy violation messages from ebay threatening to shut me down if I continued.

    The only answer I can give you is its eBay!?!? That being said, I would have called eBay and either gotten an explanation I understood or complained up their chain until they corrected it.
