It's one thing to sell a fake as real, but still these are plated BUT not approved by SILVERTOWNE. All these sites should not be selling this garbage. Wonder if silvertowne has any pull to get some action against these selling platforms. Maybe threaten legal action?
I have contacted Silvertowne by email since you mention them. I have also reported this listing as a copyright issue on Ebay. It sure would be nice to see some action taken to stop this.
The seller just sent me a special offer of $10.99 for the fake bar. I believe it was Wednesday when I reported this seller to Ebay and I contacted Silvertowne about this, and this listing is still active and for sale.
Better than that would be contact ebay after the delivery and explain that it is a counterfeit COPYRIGHTED silvertowne bar and get your money back from the seller keeping the bar. Hit the seller with the most effective way.
Some good news! The auction has been taken down for the fake bar that the seller offered me for $10.99. It took awhile, but I had contacted both Ebay and Silvertowne and it appears that it finally has been taken down.
I just saw another seller of openly fake silver bars. I have reported the listings. Here are links below if you want to see them: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2043154147...Jn9UMp8wHsSLEZqq1M|tkp:Bk9SR-z3sLX2YQ&LH_BO=1 https://www.ebay.com/itm/2043154156...4Fjl6oncpZkmup6g==|tkp:Bk9SR-z3sLX2YQ&LH_BO=1
