<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EdwardJ, post: 883330, member: 20518&quot;]Does anyone know of any Member of Congress or United States Senator who is also a fellow hobbyist?&nbsp; If one would admit to such a interest, perhaps they could use their office to investigate Ebay and its role in making criminals out of all purchasers of replica or copy coins on their site.&nbsp; When the sellers are reported for violating Ebay policy requiring copies to be so marked, the seller just closes that account and creates another.&nbsp; Voi La!&nbsp; Clean Slate!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>First Point: In their country it is not illegal for the seller to do what they do.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Second: The Department of Homeland Security has more on their plate than to open every item coming in from China&nbsp; in order to enforce the Hobby Protection Act.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Third: Ebay is only bringing buyers and sellers together.&nbsp; They have no other responsibility in this matter.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am afraid the first two points are valid.&nbsp; However, Ebay is the primary conduit for these items coming into our country.&nbsp; Technically every person who possesses one of these Replica coins which are not marked Replica is guilty under the Hobby Protection Act, let alone possession of Counterfeit Currency.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Seems to me that Ebay is making money by assisting us to purchase the contraband.&nbsp; Isn&#039;t that real close to what the role of the drug dealer is.&nbsp; Well maybe not but I think you understand my point.&nbsp; They need to take some responsibility in this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
