New Chinese eBay seller trouble!

Check out this auction:

http://cgi.ebay.com/US-1874-CC-Genu...40?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item43a1ae1cc8

I guess it really is the buyers fault if they don't realize this guy isn't in the US

Like usual, the counterfeit coin is accompanied by a grammatical disaster for a description. A poorly written description is a major red flag in my book and in my opinion there is a direct correlation between description quality (not necessarily length) and coin quality.

 

Since the seller states that he is in the US, why is it the buyer's fault? Did you report it?

 

The buyer's fault for not deciphering the fact that the seller is from China. Of course, there is no way to prove that the seller is at fault unless he slips up in the description saying that he's from China.

Haven't reported it. You can do the honors

 

The more the merrier for reporting. And there is a way to prove (or nearly so) that it is in China. First, his other auctions say he is in Hong Kong. Second, his email is ....CN. Third, he is using EMS post.

 

Don't forget the international shipping reference. Probably selling the best coins that can counter-fit. LOL

How do you know that this guy is from China? Other than what RLM stated.....

 

Just a random addition, but I found his replies to negative feedback amusing..especially when he calls one guy the destructor (?)

See ----------------------- China, should be enough proof.

 

Ouch, there ya have it....

 

My question would be, with all the people like us who are watching, how has he made it 5 years?

 

Because he does not even qualify as a peanut in the Chinese counterfeits. See http://shop.ebay.com/robert2313513/...c=1&_sop=10&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14.l1581&_pgn=3

BTW, you might try reporting him as using stock photos. For some reason eBay does not want to pester him. Here are a few numbers. I have lots more if needed.

The difference between cheng and robert is ol' bobby is selling marked copies. Cheng is actually selling counterfeits huge difference to me. I have no problem with copies or replicas, properly marked. Its the ones selling counterfeits that I'd love to pee on their graves.

 

Try ordering one and see just what you receive. Better yet, just look at his feedback and see what they are complaining about receiving.

 

Well, from the feedback, I do stand corrected. I have seen a ton of coins that have photoshopped "copy" stamps, and his you can see the metal distortion. They are probably stock photos though. You know I have never bought one, but for a couple of bucks I might just to see one in hand.

 

I love this, from his feedback:

One more Chinese faker on eBay down, thousands more to go. I feel like I carry part of their shame being Chinese myself :foot-mouth:

 

The actions of this (these) individual (s) are by no means a reflection upon you my friend.....

 

Has anyone noticed that the listing got pulled?

 

Yeah, can't see the item anymore. But take a look at this http://cgi.ebay.com/Germany-1828-Ba...083?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item230a1afc73

Probably same thing but this time with feedback 0, now who wouldn't buy that!
