[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 2073502, member: 27832"]Maybe this is the only fake he's ever sold. But there are other sellers who are moving [I]nothing BUT fakes[/I], and seem to be preserving their feedback ratings. There are a [I]lot[/I] of naive buyers out there. Before they got shut down, [B]aboncom[/B]'s feedback score was over 200,000, "100% positive", even though they were selling [I]dreck[/I]. I've watched as a seller accumulated several "counterfeit coin" negatives, and dropped off the map -- then reappeared a month or so later, with the negatives gone, and new counterfeits for sale. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see things unfold this way: [LIST=1] [*][USER=56842]@Dougmeister[/USER], having reported the fake multiple times, gives up and sends it back. [*]The seller receives the fake and issues a refund. [*][USER=56842]@Dougmeister[/USER] leaves negative feedback to warn other buyers. [*]The seller goes to eBay, saying "I issued a full refund and the buyer still left me negative feedback! No fair!" [*]eBay, wanting to placate a relatively high-volume seller, removes the feedback. [/LIST] I'm not liking this one bit. No, sir.[/QUOTE]
