Message:: [QUOTE="Mote Dai, post: 61007, member: 3559"]wrote to that seller I wrote to that seller in England yesterday and asked if he knew that he was selling a fake coin.  I told him it was one of the most counterfeited coins today.  I also suggested that he add "replica" to the auction if he really intended to sell it.  He had a 100% feedback, so I thought I would warn him about it first before reporting it as he is probably a legitimate seller that just don't know any better.  As of this writing, no change, so I reported it. The other 1804 and 1807 silver dollars have been removed, but that sellers fake Trade Dollars are still up.  Plus he has several Morgan Dollar auctions--which probably means they are fake coins (or fake listings) as well.  I just don't understand it.  If a seller has 10 coins and four of them are obvious fakes (like early silver dollars) and the other six are probably also fake (such as 1875 and 1876 S and CC mint marks), ebay will only remove the four obvious fakes.  In my mind, if many coins are fake, chances are, the others are fake as well.  It is just harder to prove the Trade Dollars are fake.  Ebay needs to address this issue, but probably won't because they make money on each transaction.    Rule #1 for dealing with ebay coins: NEVER, EVER BUY A COIN FROM CHINA![/QUOTE]
