[QUOTE="Aslanmia, post: 546198, member: 11753"]I just (knowingly) purchased a half dozen fake coins on eBay from a seller in Hong Kong, the idea being that if I had a few fakes to examine it would help me to tell the difference when attempting to buy the real coins. The seller is powerseller with over 2500 feedback and a 99.8% feedback rating. In his auctions he states that coins are fake, posts the US Hobby Protection Act, and posts pictures of the fakes with the word "copy" stamped on one side... Only problem is, there's no such stamp on the actual coins! This is in direct violation of the Hobby Protection Act which he so proudly displays in his auctions! This makes me mad because either no one is reporting him, or eBay doesn't care. Nonetheless, I'm going to contact eBay about it, but they don't make it easy... anyone know the best way to go about this?[/QUOTE]
