Messaged this seller and told him it is not a speared Bison Buffalo.
I sent him a photo of a real Speared Bison Buffalo.
He didn't care,,,,,,,, auction still running. Reported it to eBay but their reporting system only gives you a 3 option drop down menu with done of the options relating to the actual problem.

What's up Grandam!
I don't even bother with ebay idiots.
You can input your own explanation when reporting to eBay, but is this really worth anyone's time? If you know what a speared Bison is, you know that isn't one and won't buy it. If you don't know what a speared Bison is, why are you going to spend $295 to buy one?
I think the problem is self-correcting.
In such instances, you can report it, as follows:
Category: Listing practices
Reason: Search and browse manipulation
Detailed reason: Other search and browse manipulation
Click on “Continue” and it will bring up a box, in which you can type information.

Reported.
I offered $4 for the roll with a note that it is not a speared bison.
Instant rejection, not a surprise.
But I like yanking the chain.
Maybe I'll up the offer to $6.

The scratched bison...
When I told him it wasn't a Speared Bison he replied "Your Grandma is a Speared Bison"
The messages when steadly down hill from there.
buyer says he will guarantee this as speared bison.
should I buy them and make him pay the price???

I bought it so that no one else can get taken.

the guy already refunded me. At least he had to pay the 3% PayPal fee.

Now he will have the pleasure of a negative, right?

I sent the person a nice message that what he was trying to sell was not a Speared Bison and that Speared Bisons did not come in the U.S. Mint Rolls.
He sent me a limited time offer of 6% off for $275 dollars lol
I hope that eBay takes this auction down before someone does spend money on that roll of nickels.
I would be willing to bet he doesn't realize he eats the 3 %.
Oh yea, I forgot in his 2nd message to me he told me he was a Catholic Priest.
I find the Ebay reporting system nearly impossible also. I see incorrectly attributed coins quite often. Also raw coins labeled as PCGS MS 69 and similar absurdities. Never can quite select the proper options to complete a report.

He upped his ruse to charge $2499 and included the word POSSIBLE in the description.
Then he halted the auction.

the guy went ballistic on me before and after i bought the roll.
told me to f off, that i was a pedophile, and to stay away from children
after that i left him a negative
this morning he wants to kiss and make up
told him i'd think about it. also told him i had 90 days to think about it
what a piece of work

James,
That is really bizarre behavior from a Catholic Priest,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
You guys crack me up! Hey, a little new years fun!
well since he says i'm a pedophile, maybe its fitting
i certainly won't be going to him for a blessing
