Power Sellers on eBay Do Not have to Obey rules ???

I have notice if your a Power Seller on eBay you note the grade of a RAW coin. I reported 4/28.and Ebay did not pull it down

What happen to the rule that no grade on Raw coin?? unless it grade by Anacs,Icg,Ngc,and Pcgs

Is there 2 set of rule?or is the amount of money u pay$$$$ to sell?

I sure I could find 50 more like this one below that are also Power Seller

According to ebay's rulebook, numeric grades in the title are forbidden for raw coins; you are allowed to put a numeric grade in the description.

 

This what I know if I list an item like this
Title( 1958 P&D Wheat cent choice Gem Bu red
below in description (Gem Bu coin from choice gem bu bank rolls MS-60-MS-65 red
it will be pulled down by eBay!
and I am not a Power Seller.there evidently 2 set of rule

 

Power Seller or not, you can mention grade all you want in the description, you just can't mention it in the title.

 

I just post this one. and watch it and see how long it is before eBay pulls it?

Why would they pull it?

 

There is nothing wrong with that listing. You are absolutely permitted to state the grade in the description - but not in the title. Here is the rule;

 

???? I not sure but watch and see how long it will stay listed.someone will report the MS-65 Cameo in the description

 

That auction shouldn't be pulled, the MS is not in the title. Your post here may be modified though, Kinda fuzzy on the rules about self-promotion in a forum post.

 

There's no reason that should be pulled. It complies with Ebay rules.

 

Actually the reason it will/could be pulled is that it states a PCGS price in the description. I'm almost positive that IS against Ebay's rules.

 

Aside from the fact that I do not understand your shipping, I see nothing that would cause that listing to be pulled either.

BTW, if you have had listings pulled for having a numeric grade in the title, it was probably because of me. I know of no one else reporting such items and I pay absolutely no attention to whose is listing it is - power seller or otherwise.

 

That absolutely is against the rule, but where and which one are you seeing a PCGS price? I missed it twice if it is there.

 

Six bucks to ship a single coin? That would keep me from bidding no matter how good the coin was.

 

He must have already changed it. It was listing a PCGS value of $45.

 

Actually still had the original window up. Here's how it used to be worded before the changes.

 

Hes selling a mint set, you can click the second picture to see all the coins.

 

Check his other listings.

But even $6 to ship a mint set is ridiculous. And before anybody gets whacked out, I rounded $5.95 to $6.

 

Insurance is expensive; $6 shipping is reasonable for higher-value coins.

 

I was trying not to link directly, but apparently y'all aren't seeing the same listings. I was talking about this, this and this. I didn't look any further.
