    I have been noticing that some sellers on ebay list their coins PGGS/NCG then the grade. this causes your search to pick up their coins no matter what you are searching for! I'm pretty sure this is breaking some rule! :s

    I hear you! My searches have more excluded sellers than ever so that I don't have to scroll through all those sellers non certified coins when I want to see only certified examples and I will NOT BUY from them no matter what they have anywhere else in my searches because of their disregard for proper ebay etiquette.

    If you are looking for Seated Dollars add $1 sign as it will kick out some of the half dollars.

    I punish them by not bidding. Some times it makes a difference.

    the thing I hate most is dealers listing trade dollars like: "1874-s trade dollar no chop marks" :D

    This is eBay's fault. If a seller tries to list a coin and uses the eBay created products, many coins fall into the error category. I stopped using the recommended product listings on my eBay store for this exact reason. Whoever makes this product listings for eBay knows nothing about coins.

    Here is another example of how they suggest to list products.
