[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 705161, member: 4350"]eBay is useless. I am on a forum on eBay that is tasked to find bad sellers, and counterfeit coins. I have basically become inactive on that forum...Why...because eBay does nothing, zero, nada, zilch, when something is reported. Then if on that forum we warn against a bad sellr, counterfeiter, crooked self slabber, crooked power seller, we get warned by eBay that we will be removed, individually and as a group. eBay set up this group years ago, I've been on it for five years and not a single thing has ever come from it other than a few of us having been censored for telling the truth. There are others that will tell you that there are indeed some excellent sellers that still use eBay BUT...most of eBay under any category and particularly with coins is a place full of scams, shams, crooks, counterfeiters and generally people who are clueless about what they are selling. Do a search for "double die" (People are too incompetent to even know the term is doubled die) and at least 60% or more of what results are machine doubled coins or coins with die deterioration doubling. Do a search for the words "error coin" and a few real errors will turn up but many coins are mislabeled "One cent pennies" as I like to call them. Much but not all of eBay is simply a haven for scammers. So as bad as it is, forums like these are the places where we can save people money on eBay. As long as eBay is making fees from sellers, they don't care to do anything about any of the crooks on eBay. It took the Canadian Govt. and major threats by the Canadian Royal Mounted Police to get eBay to remove listings of Canadian counterfeit coins off the site. In the US, there is no effort under way by the Secret Service to shut down the flow of fakes from China. eBay loves every nickel that they make by sellers who are crooks so there is no incentive for eBay to do anything about any of the scammers.
