  • << <i>What about the certification number on the photoshopped slab? What info does that bring up?

    I wonder if the broken English is just as contrived as the belief in God. (Good observation options26.) I don't know what you guys think, but blurting out "what makes you think I am stealing from you" in response to an attempt to work out payment method does not exactly inspire confidence. image >>



    I'm just reading and might be too late, but umm. Have you guys ever watched Scooby-Doo? Ever think the accent or broken English is false or a ploy? Ever hear of the proverb "loose lips sink ships"? This forum is not the place to "play" with coin selling fraudsters. Shhh...


  • << <i>I not only think the coin has been photoshopped onto the slab, the date and type look like they have been, too...

    I agree! Look at it. The 1 looks higher and the six is lowest and closer to th rim than 1.
  • Topping all of this off, check out the third pic, reverse in the slab. closer... What's wrong with this picture? The reverse is upside down from what the pictured slab says it should be, unless a TPG made an error, but the next pic says "no" I want my Scooby-Snack now.

    I should clarify- I meant the date and type on the slab label...

    << <i>

    << <i>As long as eBay allows zero feedback sellers to put up $10,000 coins for sale, these scams will continue. It's ridiculous isn't it? I'd say no selling of items over $1,000 in value until your feedback hits 100, and a year on eBay. You'd reach an approval point then and be reviewed by eBay to see if you qualify for higher sales. It would reduce scamming overnight. >>

    Wolf; That is a great idea. >>



    You want ebay to watch after you? does your mother still dress you? I'm in favor of personal responsibility for my own actions.

    I'm glad these rules weren't in place when I started my latest account. I sold many $1000+ items before I got to 100 feedback and my account isn't much over a year old. Your heavy handed suggestion punishes the honest and the crooks will always be crooks. Our trade system has always had crooks in it and buyers have to beware. It isn't a new issue or an ebay issue.

    Ebay trust and safety shut me down last weekend and wouldn't let me list new items for 3 days while they did a background check because my volume and postings had reached some limit--even though my feedback was perfect and ebay had recieved not a single complaint. They are making it difficult enough to sell there.

    I can't agree with this. There are numerous protections installed for buying and selling stock for example. Same with selling cars, Lemon laws, etc. inspections required, etc. These were put in place after years of excessive abuse. I'm sure there are other examples. Fact is, corporations and marketplaces sometimes need to be regulated too.

    My approach might be heavy-handed, but it solves most of the problem. What is your suggestion?
