[QUOTE="Rono, post: 183776, member: 6492"]I concur that it was a noble deed. Alas and alack, tilting at windmills can be hazardous. Without the coin as evidence, it'll be hard for any police agency to proceed. Indeed, unless you bought the coin and paid for it and it was later judged to be counterfit, you have not suffered any loss. Without suffering a loss, it's nigh impossible to sue. I guess more to the point is what do we do about Ebay? Granted, they might not respond to one individual, but how about many? I would think that if enough people complain it'll bring about some change. Yeah, Ebay's in business to make money, but they also have had enough bad press about counterfits and fraud that they need to protect their reputation - as any business would do. Hell, even if they had a fraud/counterfit alert link - where someone could notify them of an item that's being offered that's obviously fake. I'm perplexed and saddened, rono[/QUOTE]
