<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Papyri, post: 4552283, member: 113018&quot;]I had to jump on to this forum to share some research into this company. Zeus Numismatics would appear to be a trading name of Zeus Traders Limited, which is the name given on the Contact Page on the Biddr auctions platform. According to the records lodged with Companies House in the UK, Zeus Traders Limited was incorporated on 21 August 2019 and a Turkish national born in August 1981 is named as the Director the company holding 100% of the shares.&nbsp; The address given in the Companies House documents and on the Biddr platform is a non-descript house with the blue car in the weed-strewn driveway according to Google Street View. The company’s website, staff details and their emails, are fictional as has already been outlined by previous contributors.</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems clear that (1) &quot;Zeus Numismatics&quot; is the <i>trading</i> name of a company registered in the UK, (2) coins are dispatched to buyers from Belgium, (3) payments via Paypal are sent to some IT business, and (4) refunds are made from an account in the Netherlands – Why? The only answers that seems possible would be nefarious: &quot;Layering&quot;, which is a process that conceals the source of the money through a series of transactions and bookkeeping tricks.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Napata, I understand that from a strictly legal standpoint Biddr is a <i>platform </i>and not a <i>publisher</i>, which is a neat legal distinction that allows them to skirt responsibility for those (consigners or buyers) that use their platform. Consequently, I would strongly advise people to only deal with auction houses that they are comfortable to share their personal data with. I do not think that fact a particular company is listed on Biddr carries any endorsement or protection whatsoever.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
