<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EdThelorax, post: 3395452, member: 99854&quot;]The US laws are the Hobby Protection Act (HPA) and it&#039;s revision the Collectible Coin Protection Act. (CCPA) </p><p><br /></p><p>They can be seen here: <a href="https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?c=ecfr&amp;sid=6ba90b1f402763bcb0388569596c3f4b&amp;rgn=div5&amp;view=text&amp;node=16%3A1.0.1.3.28&amp;idno=16" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?c=ecfr&amp;sid=6ba90b1f402763bcb0388569596c3f4b&amp;rgn=div5&amp;view=text&amp;node=16%3A1.0.1.3.28&amp;idno=16" rel="nofollow">https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?c=ecfr&amp;sid=6ba90b1f402763bcb0388569596c3f4b&amp;rgn=div5&amp;view=text&amp;node=16:1.0.1.3.28&amp;idno=16</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This is the important part:</p><p>&quot;Any person engaged in the manufacturing, or importation into the United States for introduction into or distribution in commerce, of imitation political or imitation numismatic items shall be subject to the requirements of the Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Any person engaged in the sale in commerce of imitation numismatic items shall be subject to the requirements of the Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder. 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, or to any manufacturer or importer of imitation political items, if that person knows or should have known that the manufacturer, importer, or seller is engaged in any practice that violates the Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>This makes what Ebay is doing a CRIME:</p><p>It shall be a violation of the Act for a person to provide substantial assistance or support to any seller of imitation numismatic items,</p><p><br /></p><p>Ebay knows certain sellers have been selling counterfeits for years, yet they do nothing to punish or stop these sellers.&nbsp; They do know the law. They do know about these sellers because they will remove listings when forced to by members of the coin community that do have more influence than normal Ebay users.</p><p><br /></p><p>I search for and click on enough counterfeits that their algorithms suggest them to me.&nbsp; If the algos can do that, they should also be able to flag them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ebay does NOT CARE about coin collecting, you, or the law. If they did, they would ban sellers after the third time selling counterfeits.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
