<p>[QUOTE=&quot;galapac, post: 2143853, member: 73406&quot;]From their own website, the first few rules are broken:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://rule.alibaba.com/rule/detail/2047.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rule.alibaba.com/rule/detail/2047.htm" rel="nofollow">http://rule.alibaba.com/rule/detail/2047.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.alibaba.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.alibaba.com/" rel="nofollow">www.alibaba.com</a> and <a href="http://www.aliexpress.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.aliexpress.com/" rel="nofollow">www.aliexpress.com</a> websites (each a &quot;Site&quot;) functions as a global marketplace, thus the selling or posting of items may be prohibited because of laws outside of the jurisdiction where you reside. Below, we have listed some categories of prohibited or restricted items. However, this list is not exhaustive; you, as the seller, are responsible for ensuring that you are not posting an item that is prohibited by law in any jurisdiction. </p><p>1.2 Alibaba.com has chosen to also prohibit the posting of other categories of items which may not be restricted or prohibited by law but are nonetheless controversial including:</p><p><b><span style="color: #ff4d4d"> (a) Items that encourage illegal activities;</span></b></p><p>(b) Items that are racially, religiously or ethnically derogatory, or that promote hatred, violence, racial or religious intolerance;</p><p>(c) Giveaways, lotteries, raffles, or contests;</p><p>(d) Stocks, bonds, investment interests, and other securities;</p><p>(e) Pornographic materials or items that are sexual in nature;</p><p>(f) Items that do not offer a product or service for sale, such as advertisements solely for the purpose of collecting user information.</p><p>1.3 Alibaba.com, in its sole and exclusive discretion, reserves the right to impose additional restrictions and prohibitions.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>3. CURRENCY AND STAMPS</b></p><p>3.1 Alibaba.com strictly forbids the sale and purchase of currency, coins, bank notes, bonds, money orders, currency in digital or any intangible form (e.g. crypto-currency) and other securities, as well as the equipment used to produce such items. </p><p>3.2 Counterfeits of the identified articles in 3.1, legal tenders and stamps are strictly prohibited.</p><p>3.3 <b><span style="color: #ff0000">Reproductions or replicas of coins as collectible items must be clearly marked with the word &quot;COPY&quot;, &quot;REPRODUCTION&quot; or &quot;REPLICA&quot; and comply with all relevant local laws.</span></b></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>They state themselves that the items must be clearly marked as in U.S. law.</p><p>So how can a publically traded company get away with this?</p><p>They certainly don&#039;t want to stop the hand that is feeding them...</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=15019]@Numismat[/USER] - If you don&#039;t think that Alibaba is a serious threat you are mistaken, they are aiding the counterfeit operations and this junk is ending up everywhere and they are only getting better.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
