<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidh, post: 512567, member: 15062&quot;]I almost agree with two caveats:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. He&#039;s been a member here since November.&nbsp; Between then and now there have been numerous posts and lengthy discussions on the deceptive practices of ebay sellers.&nbsp; Shouldn&#039;t he have learned by now?</p><p><br /></p><p>2. The second auction had &quot;PCGS?&quot; in the title.&nbsp; Nowhere in the description did he mention the possibility that PCGS might give the coins a specific grade, or even that they would grade them.&nbsp; It was improper to even mention the name of the grading service as it <u>implied</u> that the coins were of a quality that would be graded highly by PCGS.&nbsp; That was deceptive.</p><p><br /></p><p>His claim that his wording was for searching purposes is suspect, or naive at best, but I&#039;ll give him the benefit of the doubt since he has made a reasonable explanation.&nbsp; There other ways to use keywords to enhance a search without any taint of deception.&nbsp; My favorite way is to add the keywords at the end of the description and then change the font color to match the background color.&nbsp; That way, searching picks them up but they&#039;re invisible in the actual listing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
