This is frustrating....

This guy sells almost nothing but fake Seated and Trade dollars, I've reported him twice with a total of 20 different obviously fake items, and he's still at it and I've seen no auctions pulled.

Quite disheartening.

  • Probably be a real in the ass to do, but maybe a more effective means might be to send emails to his bidders???

    The "winning" bidder could then pull his bid and complain to E-Bay about the fakes, and the other, losing bidders would have been forewarned, so they "hopefully" shouldn't accept a second-chance offer.

    Eventually, with enough withdrawn bids from buyers saying the merchandise was fake, E-Bay might finally take notice...

    Ziggy, get a hold of tradedollarnut(Bruce) and let me tell ya, if anybody can spot a fake one- HE CAN!!

    He'll probably also help you report this character.image
  • Well, the victim(s) has to report it.
    The best point would be to report it to the sellers home town police department.
    The second best is to file a report on the FBI's website and they could then forward it to the seller's hometown police department.
    Third the secret service takes a dim view of these things reporting it to them may do the trick too.
    Reporting it to your local police department usually doesn't help as it is out of their jurisdiction.

  • That's for ebay.
    I am not under the impression that they really care.
    Of course the law enforcement authorities don't seem to care much either.

    If you've sold anything as of late on eBay, you more than likely noticed that right before you click "submit your item", all in Red they are making you attest to the fact that what you are selling is authentic and that the ANA is working hand in hand with eBay

    to stop the sale of counterfeits on eBay. Now there's an idea...how about bringing this to the attention of the ANA? Find out thru eBay's live chat who this new entity is and maybe they'll provide you with a link.

    Also, he's not getting a lot of bids which ought to tell us and him something!image Take a look under bid history and see if there have been any retracted or cancelled bids. Never mind, I just did...Bid retraction and cancellation history
    There are no bid retractions or cancellations.

    My opinion...seller is dishonest. 'I do not know anything about coins, so no return....' That IS BS.

    One buyer gave him a POS with a note that the coin was probably counterfeit, but kudos for shipping.

    A positive! If the buyers can't even give a NEG on a counterfeit, how in the world can anyone stop the 'caveat emptor'?
