[QUOTE="BUncirculated, post: 1421003, member: 29581"]Which has what to do with anything? They are a free enterprise and can make policy as they see fit, no different than a power company, phone company, or cable company. FYI, Frontier Communications has the monopoly on phone service in western N.Y. and they audit their policies regularly and change them as they see fit. If their customers don't like their policy, they can always go to magic jack, or digital phone service from the cable company. Again, being a monopoly has nothing to do with nothing. I would tend to think that Heritage and Teletrade occupy a larger part of the numismatic market than eBay. So there's two, serious online competitors. In what way? ANACS has made their money off the submission of the coins from the owners of those coins. How is ANACS going to be destroyed, or lose major revenues from this change in policy? As I stated, ANACS does not own the coins that are listed on eBay, the sellers own them, or possess property rights to sell them on behalf of the owner, i.e. consignment. Your statement has no merit whatsoever, and would only hold water if ANACS was buying, grading, slabbing, and listing said coins on eBay. They are not. Private individuals are. Again ANACS' only contribution to these coins is that at some point an owner submitted the coin to ANACS for grading and slabbing. How many sellers are making kickbacks to PCGS or NGC for selling coins slabbed in their respective holders on eBay? I'm willing to bet there are none.[/QUOTE]
