Should this eBay listing be reported ?

They may or may not get away with it...

I think that eventually the seller will get neg'ed and/or low stars for item description and maybe this will make him change his descriptions.

 

I agree with most of the posts here. It isn't wrong but it is a little on the unethical side. The seller obviously wants buyers to buy a $5 quarter for over $10. He isn't breaking ebay rules, or the rules of business, but he's making it a little harder for himself to look in the mirror every morning.

 

I totally agree !! I NEVER want to trick someone into buying from me ! If I cannot do it above board and straight up, then I don't want any part of the transaction. What boggles my mind is the number of people who have stated that its FINE to use deception to sell something for far more than it's actually worth. That somehow the buyer must be the one to double and triple check every aspect of the offering.

Of course, I come from a line of people who believe in honor. My military and educational background have taught me that if your word isn't any good, you aren't either. Sorry, but calling the sale a "Lot", depicting a number of coins as the items offered, then stating it is actually only for one coin, seems sneaky and underhanded. I know I wouldn't get anything from this guy even if it was free. Why can't he just be clear and up front with what he is selling ?

Of course, he's very likely extremely desperate. But that's not an excuse. IMHO

 

In a perfect world yes , but as you know T I A P W .

It's worth a shot reporting the listing and let EBAY make the determination if there is enough deception going on to warrant a few words with the Seller .
