Message:: [QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 1510381, member: 27832"]Oh, I've just found something else interesting. In the second two cases I mentioned above, the sellers had no or very little feedback. They both got NARU'd; apparently you get only one strike as a new user, if your swing is wild enough. The first guy -- the Vietnam vet, who suddenly decided that the honorable thing for a vet to do was to pass unmarked Chinese counterfeits as real coins -- was also NARU'd, but that's because a whole slew of us reported him in a very short span, and he continued to list unmarked fakes even after being called on it. But when I went back to check my Resolution Center records, I saw that his ID was different now -- and, as of this May, one year after the Late Unpleasantness, he's apparently back in eBay's good graces. Since the negs were more than a year ago, his feedback rating is back to 100%, and he's merrily selling. No coins, and it looks like he's keeping his nose clean, but I really didn't think eBay ever reactivated accounts after an episode like that. I'd never heard of a one-year vacation. Maybe I'll call up Customer Support and ask about it... but not tonight.[/QUOTE]
