<p>[QUOTE=&quot;vegasvic, post: 428638, member: 15296&quot;]If I ran Ebay, I guess I would hold the sellers to a higher standard from those countries.&nbsp; Using an escrow service, whether internal to Ebay or an external company who would verify the authenticity of the coins before handing over payment.&nbsp; I realize this would put the foreign sellers at a disadvantage as the escrow service would not be free by any means.&nbsp; However, that is something they would have to work through while improving their reputation.&nbsp; Perhaps once the counterfeit rate dropped significantly it could turn into an occasional spot check of merchandise.&nbsp; Some checks would be random computer generated and others would be automatic depending on the seller&#039;s reputation.&nbsp; It wouldn&#039;t fix it overnight or completely, but they (Ebay) need to concentrate the majority of their efforts where the majority of the problems lie.&nbsp; Right now they are wasting their efforts domestically while the vast majority of their problems lie overseas.&nbsp; Not that the domestic counterfeiters should be ignored by any means, but they need to expand foreigners, perhaps enlisting the help of Customs, the Secret Service and the Post Office.&nbsp; By the way counterfeiting is under the jurisdiction of the Secret Service, not the mint.&nbsp; The mint&#039;s job ends when the coins are delivered to the Federal Reserve Banks.&nbsp; I admit I&#039;m far from having all the answers but they have a lot of work to do and in my opinion are doing nothing to solve it.</p><p>Vegas Vic[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
