<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommyc03, post: 2352962, member: 17665&quot;]That listing was removed so someone must have gotten through to Ebay or the seller. In the end we are the only real watchdogs for our precious hobby and we have to carry the torch. Ebay is just too big a company to have any really knowledgeable phone help to understand each and every hobby and it&#039;s intracacies. These people manning&nbsp; phone banks there are just regular Joes like the rest of us. They have a guide book that is pretty generic just like when you call a computer company asking for help. So, like someone said earlier, if you have the knowledge and are very sure someone is trying to pass off a fake or is using deceptive advertising, keep moving the ante upwards, even to the Secret Service if you keep seeing these things happening. We may do some good, we may not, but we will have the satisfaction of knowing we tried. And if you are in doubt about what you see then bow out of buying. Ebay will not tell you about the outcome of what you report due to their privacy policy but they are obligated to check into complaints. But that does not mean you have failed in your attempt. If the item comes down then you can be pretty sure they got after that seller. If not then up the ante. All we can do is try. This ad below came to me in a catalog recently and screams deceptive advertising and is a good example of why not to buy from sellers that do not have decent ethics. &quot;This coin is pure 24K gold&quot;. It was originally made by a private mint and is not actually being sold by them but by a wholesale dealer of all sorts of products.[ATTACH=full]479151[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
