<<Hi Everyone,
My name is Lia and I am the new person responsible for the Coins and Stamps categories. I am very excited to be at eBay! Needless to say, I have a lot to learn about eBay and the very interesting categories of Coins and Stamps. I have been spending a lot of time in meetings and trainings and look forward to attending some trade shows soon. Please stop by the eBay booth if you see us at a show!
I sincerely apologize for the delay in addressing your suggestions re: our Coins Code of Conduct. Please know that we were listening and we did hear you.
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
At the same time, we revised our answer to the Frequently Asked Question, “I have a fake coin – how can I list it on eBay”, which is under the Selling Coins Policy at: http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/selling-coins.html There you will see that “title and/or description” was changed to “title AND description”. In the future, you can find this Selling Coins Policy through the "Selling Coins on eBay" link at the bottom of the Coins Code of Conduct page.
We hope that we have addressed your main concerns. Please continue to give us your feedback. Please also continue to report listings violations through the link at the bottom of the Selling Coins Policy page: http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/selling-coins.html This is the same link that Lulu refers to at the top of her posting titled “Reporting suspicious listings & reminder of Board Usage policies,” which is tacked to the top of this Coins & Paper Money Discussion Board.
Thank you so much for your passion and interest in the Coins & Paper Money categories on eBay. We realize that there are some tough issues out there, and look forward to figuring them out together! In the meantime, I will check in on this Discussion Board periodically.
Have a great day!

The person in charge of the category has a lot to learn about coins and stamps. That sure instills confidence that effective remedial action against the slimeballs will be forthcoming.

Would it've killed them to put someone in charge of Coins and Stamps somebody who actually knows something about coins and stamps? I'm no eBay executive, but that would have been something I would look for on a resume, or ask in an interview.
In any case, Lia seems nice and sincere enough -- let's hope she gets up to speed quickly.

That rule right there should be enough ammo to route some sellers of their wares. . .
