<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 277938, member: 8033&quot;]There have been so many excellent points made here that I can&#039;t cover them all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Will there be problems with the new rules? Of course there will but I (and you&#039;ll rarely see this from me) applaud ebay for it. Of course they have basically claimed to know next to nothing about coins and suddenly do to the extent of making major policy changes. Makes one wonder doesn&#039;t it?</p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand I think members of groups like CT deserve the real applause. Think about it. We constantly post garbage/fraud/overgrading etc. auctions here. We bombard sellers with emails and ebay with complaints. Think just maybe a few ebay people have been over here watching REAL CLOSE?</p><p><br /></p><p>I think they finally came to the realization that they HAD to do something. How many times have you seen comments such as &quot;ebay facilitating fraud&quot; posted here?</p><p><br /></p><p>There are some slabbers that are &quot;legit&quot; that will suffer unfortunately. PCI has been mentioned a few times. I own a few properly graded PCI coins and ebay can always change that policy. NONE of the slabbers are right all of the time - we know this but forcing an Abon/SGS to be listed as raw without consulting outrageous price levels really hurts a &quot;power garbage&quot; seller.</p><p><br /></p><p>Will Abon die a horrible death? I doubt it. They&#039;ll find another avenue, rework the auction template perhaps even spout off about certain companies being legit while they are not. Bet they will shift even more listings to Overstock etc as well where the rules are not as strict. KEEP THIS IN MIND FOLKS! THERE ARE OTHER SITES WE NEED TO HIT!</p><p><br /></p><p>Now that one can&#039;t use PCGS price guides for non PCGS coins etc. I suppose one could mention that a particular PCI coin would &quot;cross over&quot; well. Experienced collectors will get the picture.</p><p>Abon could do that with SGS as well but not being able to mention the legit TPGs I doubt it would work so well. They sell to the uninformed that have no idea what &quot;cross over&quot; means.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s it for now but in closing if this really has a huge impact on garbage autions what will we have to laugh about?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
