<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2572338, member: 36230"]It's an idea, yes, but one that very well could cause more harm than good when announcing it to anyone who may stumble upon this (or any) thread. Each and every time we remind people of ebay's ridiculous policy of sometimes allowing buyers, be them genuinely knowledge or complete morons, to keep coins they claim are counterfeits, what message is being sent to the many scumbag buyers out there? Not only that, but does anyone happen to remember a thread from maybe two years ago in which one of our lovely self-proclaimed "experts" deemed fake a perfectly legitimate Trade dollar? Does anyone remember how the (also a member) buyer was seriously considering trying to keep it based upon said policy? Had said individual gone through with this, for all sense and purposes it would have been tantamount to stealing.... is this what we really want be promoting on this forum?</p><p><br /></p><p>eBay most certainly needs to do more about the counterfeit problem, yes, but that doesn't mean we need to keep showing lowlifes a way to possibly screw over and steal from honest and innocent sellers. Sure, removing a couple fakes is certainly a good thing, but is like using a thimble to drain an ocean; it isn't going to make the slightest difference when looking at the big picture. That said, I realize no harm was intended, but still... please think about it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
