    I contacted seller to send me a "clear" photo of the reverse. First, the seller has only sold 14 items in his history. It's amazing how these fraudulent sellers always have a super clear shot of the side that doesn't have to be, and hazy out-of-focus shot of the crucial side. What a surprise.

    I would like to report him but I can't seem to find a category in the "report the item" that fits "item not as described". Any pointers?

    Maybe if we are all watching at the same time, it will bust his "game."

    If you squint hard enough and imagine there's a D, it looks like a D!

    I used "Copyright and trademark" / "Counterfeit item or authenticity disclaimer" / "Disclaimers about the authenticity or legality of an Item". I'm not sure what that means, but "D on back of coin is faded but if you look Closely you can see that it’s there" sounds like a disclaimer. The note under that category says "The listing has wording that questions the authenticity or legality of an item." It's odd that under "Listing practices" there doesn't seem to be a category for outright lying about what you're selling.

    It seems to me that I used to find it under "Search and Browse Manipulation".

    Edit: yep.

    notice this suspicious post also includes "no refunds".....

    I also sent him a nice note asking for a non-blurry picture. If he replies as snottily as he did to TaborTot.....well, he will be reported again.

    "....stay in your own lane".....what a nerve !
    I'll drive whereever the heck I want to !
