The buy of a lifetime on ebay !

That's an excellent point. Not a single counterfeit (replica) Canandian coin listed by any of the known eBay counterfeit sellers.

Maybe because the Royal Mounted Police have better uniforms than the California Highway patrol (CHiPies)? :goofer:

 

It's because the RCMP always gets their man!

 

Unbelievable!!! Thanks for posting this link, I bought 10 lots.

 

(I'm kidding)

 

Although eBay seldom does take action on weekends, what they do is recall the listing. Even if it is too late for that, they still keep such things on record for future cases.

 

lol

 

261 total lots sold now.

 

If I printed 10 hundred dollar notes on a laser printer and tried to pass them the secret service would be all over it but this gets ignored. They can raid a guitar factory and the offices of the S&P but can't pay a visit to any of these people that bought these. Shameful.

 

Now it says "​This listing (250881676512) has been removed, or this item is not available."

 

I hope that doesn't mean that they sold out

 

I think it just means the ebay cops removed it after some law-abiding citizens reported it. :yes:

 

Wow, now they've counterfeited the post office!

Because under Canadian law it is illegal to advertise a fake, copy or replica coin whether it is marked or not. That let them go after ebay as the lister. The US has no such law which it makes it much harder to go after ebay.

 

Nope. eBay is the only one who can make the listing disappear. When the seller sells out (or otherwise closes the auction), the listing just says that it has been closed.

 

If I had the money and was absolute certain if they were fake I could get my money back, I would buy them just to have some sort of hard evidence. Oh well, it seems that they are now up the creek without a paddle.

 

I wonder how many of the buyers were fully aware that the coins were fake and were hoping to make a nice 1000% profit by selling them to the unwary?

 

Well, when someone is selling $700,000+ in silver in melt value alone, that should raise some red flags.

Now for those transactions that went through, we will have to be extra vigilant to catch them on their way into the country.

 

At one time, any registered user on eBay could contact any other registered user on eBay by simply clicking on their handle and sending a message. eBay decided we were all a bunch of conspiracy nuts, and more to the point cutting deals between ourselves while leaving eBay out, -that they put an end to it. Now everyone is on their own, and no one can be warned about fakes. I used to tell other bidders all the time about fakes they were bidding on, often times the seller would get furious about my interference. But as can now be seen, eBay sure isn't going to do anything about it on their own. At least not so long as the commission money keeps rolling in. Whether eBay is the actual seller or not doesn't make them any less an accessory to an on-going criminal enterprise the way I see it, especiually when they know what's going on in the marketplace. Would love to set on a jury to hear a case against them!

 

Why would they even ship...just take the PayPal $$ and run. No illegal shipment to this country...just a fraud on ebay where it is Caveat Emptor
