Potential ebay scam

ChrisH821

A seller is using the images from an ended auction (that I won) in what I can only assume is a scam.
Current listing:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/334535131014
Listing from a couple months ago that I won:

That seller has a few others that need to be removed.

Hello friend, this coin has 90% silver content, we have a rating, it is not fake.

Now life is very difficult, friends please don't be so difficult for us these workers.

I also hope to cooperate with you in the future!

Thank you for your letter! Communicate with me.

Just because it has 90% percent silver means it is not a fake? LOL

updated..
and poof
it is gone!!

Listing has been pulled, thanks for those who reported.
Last night I asked the seller why they were using images from the other auction, their response was "Because it’s my brothers coin an he told me I could use then" The listing was removed before I could respond, oh well.

I’m assuming this is a fake and not someone providing an incorrect description but wanted to ask the forum before reporting.

Thanks!

Question - Do you have to provide proof to eBay that a coin is fake? or can someone just report a coin fake on a seller they don't like?

"COllECTOR EDITION RARE SIlVER COIN"

A new term for counterfeit?

No proof required. You can provide text with more additional info if you choose.

No proof requirement, but I believe they require more than just a single report to pull an item. This would prevent the "buyer with a grudge" issue of reporting items simply because one doesn't like a particular seller.
