Has ebays new policy on fakes been mentioned?

Conder101

Ebay now requires fakes/copies to be identified as such in both the descriptionand the TITLE of the auction.

From the ebay forum:

The good news is that a revised Code of Conduct was just posted on the site! http://pages.ebay.com/coins_code_of_conduct/

You will notice in #3 under the first bullet point that we now require that “the listing title AND description clearly state that the item is a copy or reproduction”. You may also notice that a note was added re: restrikes. “Note: Restrikes are permitted for sale and they are not required to have “copy” or “reproduction” incused in the metal or printed on the paper thereof, if the item was produced or authorized for minting by the original issuing government.” In the future, you can find this Coins Code of Conduct through the "Guidelines for Selling Coins" link on the Coins & Paper Money category portal page at http://coins.ebay.com

New policy .. all they have to do is start inforcing the old ones ..

That's somewhat encouraging.

Perhaps this is some kind of reaction to reports to eBay Security and the IFFCFBI this past weekend aginst eBay memeber PJD1966 for her consistent misrepresentation selling counterfeit and "copy'' replica coins without stating that in her ads 9and in her case deliberately hiding the fact). See her recent auctions 3953616316, 3951116689, and 3945728631.

Or maybe it's another way for eBay to distance themselves from doing anything directly to act throwing it on mediation and the ANA?

They'd have more credibility if they translated it in to real action.
