I ran across this auction while window shopping. The auction only says it is a commemorative and does not state it is a copy of the official commemorative. which to me is misleading. The person bidding is a relative newcomer. Do you think i should point out its NOT the official US mint commemorative?
If you would like to get in trouble with eBay, go ahead. There is a line in your user agreement that says you are not aloud to interfere with any auction.
Not an expert on e-bay mechanics, but can't you search the bidder and then eventually be able to e-mail him/her (through e-bay of course). This is one way you could warn him/her.
Perhaps you should point out that the auction is misleading, to the seller. Maybe its a genuine mistake and he would like the chance to fix it before he gets a bad reputation. And then if he does not fix the description, then point it out to the Bidders
Vernon.coin has been doing this for a long time. I have reported some of his auctions before as mis-leading with no luck. The worst ones are where he selling empty boxes with out coins. The title does not say it, but the auction says no coins. Has a '97 silver premier box and coa with no coins that is over $30. Not worth it to me, but I guess to someone it worth a lot more. Oh well - people do need to read very carefully on auctions.
There's always a subtle way to bring attention to any ebay auction, Express or Store offering: Act like you noticed a possible error.... Clinker
Okay, my thought is. That looks hardly anything like the real commemorative (IMO), that would kind of tell me right there that it is a copy? Just me, but if I am in the market for a coin, shouldn't I know what one looks like? Atleast it went for about melt. Phoenix
