<p>[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 25552755, member: 104064"]I understand your reasoning but the problem with it is that ebay's explicit policy prohibits all counterfeit and replica coins. So in your analogy they have already required skateboarding safety equipment and are responsible for enforcing it. It's also the law - "It shall be a violation of the Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder for a person to provide substantial assistance or support to any manufacturer, importer, or seller of imitation numismatic items ... if that person knows or should have known that the manufacturer, importer, or seller is engaged in any practice that violates the Act."</p><p><br /></p><p>I have gotten that robot customer service response when the listing specifically says it's a replica, right in the listing title. They know these coins are fake and don't have COPY stamped on them, violating their own policy and the law. They simply don't care. Until they get socked with severe punishment for violating the Hobby Protection Act, they'll go on looking the other way and making money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
