Any bets on whether they mean it? *Link added*

Someone in another forum posted a link to an auction for the molds to counterfeit a U.S. coin, and I sent that link to EBay's policy people with a question about whether counterfeiting equipment was authorized by their policies. Here's the gist of what they said:

<< <i>Thank you for your report.

    Sounds like the same old shamming, gold-bricking crapola ebay sends out. I have gotten the same message when I have sent them things they should know.image

    Whenever you send them something like that (counterfeiting equipment, et al.) make sure to CC the email to the proper Secret Service email address....I'm sure they'd take care of the problem seller then image

    What you got was a form letter from an automated e-mail program. That doesn't mean that they won't investigate.

    I wonder if it would be legal for me to own that stuff, since I live in Canada. I can't see why not...but the SS may see it differently
