<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 26715748, member: 27832&quot;]I reported this one earlier today:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/287158434694" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/287158434694" rel="nofollow">Rare 1852 California Fractional Gold Coin V.F. 1/2 Proof</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Expand the third image, the one showing the reverse, and it&#039;s <b>got REPLICA stamped right into the die</b> (showing in relief on the coin). I pointed this out, and pointed out that eBay policy still <i>says</i> replica coins are banned.</p><p><br /></p><p>Got my email reply this evening:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I note that it didn&#039;t say this was a <i>human</i> customer service agent.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/prohibited-restricted-items/fake-items-policy?id=4276" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/prohibited-restricted-items/fake-items-policy?id=4276" rel="nofollow">eBay&#039;s published policy</a> still says replicas are banned. (Okay, it says &quot;<i>unauthorized</i>&quot; replicas; I have no idea what an &quot;authorized&quot; replica would be. Maybe sellers can self-authorize.) But since I&#039;ve had &quot;customer service agents&quot; confirm multiple times that replica listings <i>don&#039;t violate eBay policy</i>, I guess I have to conclude that they&#039;ve CHANGED their policy, and just haven&#039;t gotten around to updating the page. (Wouldn&#039;t be the first time.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Wonder if I can find any dreck to unload under the New Rules? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
