New eBay policy on Coins sold for more than $500?

Well there IS a bunch of them. We all point them out. I'll be interested to see how this new system works out. Hopefully it will weed out the crap that's been going on for WAY too long. What is missing here is that eBay should have some common sense along the way. Sellers with key dates and "slabs" should know you can't sell something for about melt price and be credible. That's what drove me nuts about those stupid eBay bots that refused to remove those garbage sellers.

This guy seems to just be making excuses for a massive corporation who's made billions of dollars on sales and irregardless of what he says I don't think corporations that big much care about people at all. They care about the bottom line more than anything.

 

I reported that item yesterday as a test case, got their automated reply at 11:06am. I included specific details in my report - that the date looks childish and does not match real examples especially 48, the reverse is missing the designer initials, raised blobs everywhere indicating poorly made transfer dies.

I received this today at 11:29am: "We looked into your report and didn’t find the listing to be in violation of our policy. This determination was made by a customer service agent."

I mean, come on. Seller has zero feedback and it's their only item for sale. Business as usual.

 

The reality is, the counterfeit passers will continue to sell absolute junk and keep it under $500 to avoid getting canned. 95% of the problem isn't high dollar fake listings, it's the garbage touted as key dates for right around melt price.

 

Looks fake to me, that Canadian dollar.
Go the the ebay listing and look at the two others below it for sale. Look at the 8. Plus the worn sky stripes.
How was it made. Plaster cast, pewter ?

 

What's the penalty for fake US coins.
Jail for counterfeiting.

 

We're it enforced there would be a lot of people in jail

 

It/if enforced, I would agree. I would bet if Ebay and the Authority decided to try some of these egregious coins like the Canda set above. And it was made public, it would cut down on many of the fakes we see.
