What's the Catch?

92 sold. Dang.

BTW, you can Report This Item as Fraudulent. If they've really sold 90-odd of them already, that's 90-odd transactions that eBay and PayPal will have to unwind, probably at non-zero expense, and that expense will be passed on to the rest of us in increased fees.

 

3500 is more like it.. what a joker. I am so mad. It disgusts me

 

Is it that he doesn't actually have any of these, or his absurdley high amount of sales that have been for "Kitty tote bags"

 

This guy may have hacked into an established ebay seller's account to take advantage of his favorable feedback.

 

He's now sold 103 lots of 100 silver dollars...

 

Hong Kong is a big city and former British colony that was and still is a major gateway to mainland China. Moreover, silver was a symbol of wealth in pre-Communist China, so it is conceivable that a lot of genuine US silver dollars ended up in Hong Kong. However, given that real US 90% silver dollars have not been $4 each since probably the '80s, and if these dollars were real there should be a ready market for them in Hong Kong that more accurately reflects today's prices, and given that the resolution of the pictures is too low to discern any details, then I would certainly stay away from them.

 

I just reported it, hopefully eBay can intercede before too much money is lost.

 

JeffB found the vaild listing from a Coin Store in Oregon. Left hand PIC!

Shady Hong Kong seller looks like he copied every thing exactly for his listing. Right hand pic!

 

This is a perfect example of one of the many reasons why Susan Headley has advised never to buy coins from eBay sellers in Hong Kong and China.

Wow! Great catch! These bums don't even take the time to do their own page design. They could at least change a font or something.

 

I see the auction was taken down. I just hope not too many people lost money.

Although, as someone else already said, the buyers (that thought they were getting something for nothing) will probably get a PayPal refund and the other honest Sellers will eventually pay the price in higher fees...sad. :heated::headbang:

 

It appears to have worked. The listing has been removed.
