<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robbudo, post: 1422899, member: 19243&quot;]Maybe this was posted 7 pages ago (sorry, I skipped a few pages!). Paul from ANACS says the following ...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>To our valued customers:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Many of you have contacted us about the email sent out by&nbsp; eBay regarding changes in their coin listing policies that specifically&nbsp; impact sellers of ANACS graded coins. We want to assure that you that we&nbsp; are absolutely confident that this issue will be addressed by the May&nbsp; 30 deadline that eBay has established. We would also like to take this&nbsp; opportunity to address some of the specific questions that have been&nbsp; raised, and to share with you what we are working on, which we believe&nbsp; will ultimately be of benefit to you.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; ·&nbsp; &nbsp; In its email to sellers of coins, eBay mentions “certain&nbsp; objective standards” that are required of coin grading companies. We&nbsp; were not made aware of these standards until April 17th – the very same&nbsp; day that eBay chose to notify its sellers of the change. Now that we&nbsp; have been able to review these standards, it is our contention that we&nbsp; exceed every standard that has been set, with the exception of what we&nbsp; consider to be a single technicality.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; ·&nbsp; &nbsp; Of the six standards that we have seen, we feel it is important to stress that <i>we exceed any standards set with regard to the expertise of our graders or the quality of our service.</i>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; ·&nbsp; &nbsp; Of the technicality mentioned earlier: eBay is requiring&nbsp; grading companies to “enable online verification of unique serial&nbsp; numbers.” There are two things we would like to make clear: 1) ANACS&nbsp; does offer verification of unique serial numbers, but has not made that&nbsp; service available online as of yet, and 2) ANACS is, in fact, in the&nbsp; final stages of making serial number verification available on our web&nbsp; platform.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; ANACS appreciates that eBay is taking steps to protect the&nbsp; coin community from the actions of unscrupulous sellers and questionable&nbsp; grading practices. It has been our company’s mission to protect the&nbsp; integrity of our hobby for forty years! As stated earlier, we have no&nbsp; doubt that this issue will be addressed in such a way that you will not&nbsp; be affected by this policy change, and we are hopeful that we can work&nbsp; with eBay to do even more to protect both buyers and sellers of coins.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Please feel free to email or call me with any questions you may have.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Sincerely –&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Paul DeFelice</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Vice President of Customer Relations and Marketing[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
