<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cdb1950, post: 29768, member: 1735&quot;]One of the things Ebay does on some auctions, is to add a disclaimer when the seller puts the item up for bids warning that is illegal to sell fake coins or copyrighted material or unsafe toys.&nbsp; Maybe they could take that one step further and have the seller actually click/sign a statement that they accept these regulations and restrictions with penalties for sellers that violate.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Tough to do with coin grading, though.&nbsp; Especially TPG&#039;s.&nbsp; Any TPG coin can be subject to crackout hoping for a higher grade next time.&nbsp; Different 1st tier TPG&#039;ers can be relied upon to overlook some things that might cause another TPG to render a lower grade on a coin.&nbsp; Inconsistancy is the name of the game.</p><p><br /></p><p>That being the case, it would be tough for Ebay to arbitrarily set it&#039;s own coin grading standards and to inspect each coin being offered to ensure that it complies with those standards.&nbsp; It would be tough to apply any single set of standards to every coin offered.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I think SGS can only be dealt with in a way that would prevent them from slabbing his own coins and selling them.&nbsp; Some kind of industry wide standard covering dealers like that.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think Ebay can or should do that.&nbsp; It is the coin industry as a whole responsible for letting this type of seller exist, since no regulations exist to prevent it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
