<p>[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 2222966, member: 4373"]At this point, ebay doesn't care and the onus goes to the buyers if they have not done their research. Given that there is no 'copyright' claims and there is no official organization to determine what is genuine / fake (other than the TPGs) - sellers can continue to make fat profits. If this trend continues, it actually damages the reputation of sellers who make an effort to sell genuine coins.</p><p> </p><p>Here's my experience. There was a time when I had a buyer insulting me with an offer as he referenced the price off a sold counterfeit. This was a 100+ dollar coin and he wanted to purchase it for less than 30 dollars including shipping. I told him that he is more than welcome to buy a counterfeit at that price. Not only did he refuse to acknowledge what was sold was a counterfeit, he was cheeky enough to reply that I should be happy as it seemed he is the one doing the favor taking the coin off me. Needless to say, he didn't require my business and had him blocked promptly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
