If anyone was of the Ebay doesn't give a hoot camp... this will strengthen your position. These are completely counterfeit plated Chinese panda bullion coins. They are marked 1oz .999 fine silver and are being allowed to be sold in the US market...

sheesh...

Of course ebay cares. They care about everything.

As long as they get the gold mine and you get the shaft.

 

There defence will be that the guy is saying they are counterfit but my argument is "will the next guy who buys these coins say they are fake?"
Probably not.
Ebay just cares about there bottom line.

 

Has anyone tried reporting them? The last time I checked, eBay rules state;

 

I tried to sell a 'counterfeit' 1943 copper cent, and it was removed, why don't they remove these?

 

I just did. Let's see what happens.

 

I just checked the seller's completed auctions, sold several necklaces essentially free to build feedback, one panda unsold.

 

Just filed to more reports on his auction. Nice catch LD

Just filed a report also

 

Maybe contact the Chinese embassy about them as well as these are illegal under CHINESE LAW and they are being shipped from China. The fake US stuff they dump on us are legal under Chinese law, these are not. The Chinese don't care if you violate other peoples laws but they tend to get rather stuffy about their people violating their own laws.

 

Normally nothing happens in these cases. You get an email back saying something to the effect of "We have investigated and have no evidence that would lead us to cancel the auction. Thank you for your report." It could be the worst counterfeit in the world that even a blind man could see and nothing would happen.

 

No, these will probably get pulled and the seller will get canned only to be back next month with a different name selling the same stuff... to get canned again... to be back next month... and so on.

 

You are most likely correct, however if we do nothing we are just as guilty. If we stop one collector from getting ripped off then we have done something good.

It gets to a point where there has to be some culpability on EBay's part IMO.

 

I am very new to the coin world and I was wondering how you could tell that it was a fake. I don't know what I am looking for.

 

They state in the items description that they are plated "Replicas" but the coin clearly is marked 1oz .999 silver which is illegal.

 

The seller states that it is fake. The fake coin does not have anything on the coin itself that says that it is fake. I belive that we are all worried here that someone will buy it cheap and then turn around and sell it as real

Edit: Sorry lostdutchman we must of posted at the same time.

 

I have already seen them presented to me for sale here at the coin shop.

 

I hope you're right about the former and wrong about the latter.

I quit reporting auctions for any reason because nothing I ever reported was shut down.

 

That gives me a sick feeling...
