I called ebay and asked them if they were selling counterfeits. They said no.
"I think unscrupulous sellers are, in violation of eBay policies, selling fake 2025 silver eagles."
eBay is just an accessory, once they fail to take action after being notified of such unscrupulous sellers.
They aren't. People on their site are. As are people on Facebook, Instagram etc

Not directly
Merely aiding and abetting.
To quote (kinda) from the movie classic Casablanca:
I'm shocked - shocked - to find that gambling is going on here! fake 2025 Silver Eagles are being sold on ebay!
All kidding aside.... I'm not surprised. Fakes everywhere.
Free shipping, too !

It's more fun if you make it into a meme.
The worst part is that they're fake and $25. It's a nonsensical number. It's far too low for a genuine coin and far too high for a fake one.
Real shipping or fake shipping?

There was a recent tread on how to report fakes on eBay in 2025, so I decided to report a couple of counterfeits. It is clear that eBay does not want to control counterfeits.
The first one is a counterfeit 1804 Dollar that had two bids and 24 hours left before end of auction. The counterfeit sold for $765.00. The following is eBay response:
Thanks again for reporting the listing(s) you found.

The next reported fake was a bad 1878 CC Trade Dollar from a Chinese seller with 4 pages of counterfeits that have been listed for over 3 days. On this one I went into detail of why the example was fake as it had a type 1 reverse that was not used in 1878. The following is eBay response:
We looked into your report and didn’t find the listing to be in violation of our policy. This determination was made using automation or artificial intelligence.

If 25 drivers are running a stop sign in your neighborhood each day on average and the local police only pull over and ticket four of them that doesn't mean your community condones or allows commuters to run stop signs.
the community of ebay is the police force too
considering the effort it takes to get a minuscule number removed and the rejections on the rest, their self-policing allows it to keep happening
It's getting bad, fake locations too. Please, nobody tell me there is a real Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in China.
Stolen photos, fake locations, hacked accounts. I am a big fan of Ebay, but as of recent, the dangers have me second guessing.

and most important:
Your winnings, sir!
fake locations are not allowed either
Could be the seller is in Pittsburgh but the product is drop shipping out of China

You know it's not authentic when there's no HHL.
That depends, USPS or ESUS
