[QUOTE="sodude, post: 1885221, member: 30828"]Unsearched rolls and giving an opinion on con grades are very different issues. For one thing, ebay is not going to ban grading if it is not causing a big problem. The history of the rule changes suggests they are not attempting to protect everyone from every possible problem, but they attack deceptive practices when they get out of hand. Unsearched roll listings are largely dishonest and deceptive. With a grade, the buyer has several fallbacks. They can see the coin in the photos. They see the coin in hand. And they have the option to get he coin verified by a third party. They are also covered by returns policies and ebay's guarantee. How can ebay guarantee an unsearched roll anyways? The seller would likely balk at issuing a refund to an angry buyer after he/she opens the roll. Like someone else pointed out, it is a marketplace with used merchandise. It would be ridiculous if you could not describe the item (including an opinion on grade or condition).[/QUOTE]
