Why does Ebay allow bogus Grading Co slabs

PQMorgans

There is a 1837 Capped Bust Liberty Half Dollar EF-40 on Ebay graded and slabbed by SNSA. The slab looks like its a coinworld slab with white out over the logo. It even has serial #.

There are others slabs that look like coin world slabs also advertised as bust half 50c slabbed and cerified being listed, a lot of ms 64
ms 65 and even ms 66 by Numismatic Assurance Grading Corp. These have a bar code to boot and a parked godaddy website.

It just bugs me when I when I hit a link searching for a coin and get one of these that waste my time.The time I could be spending looking a coin I might be interested in bidding on.

The coin world slabs are fine, I would buy the blanks if I needed holders, but the labels???

Because it isn't illegal.

Because ebay makes money when the items are listed, when they sell, and if they are paid for by paypal.

Because grading is an opinion. Opinions often differ.

Money - and besides they don't know who's who in the "Plastic" World.

If you know something is fake and represent it as real, Isn't that defrauding the buyer? I can find nothing anywhere that Numismatic Assurance Grading Corp ever existed. If someone does have info and it exist please post it. These slabbed coins keep showing up. Some one is slabbing these. So where do I send a coin to get them certified?

Should Ebay also ban Beanie Baby graders other than Becky's True Blue Beans and Professional Bean Bag Authentication and Grading Service ??

they will allow you to put in an NGC cert. but not PCGS cert. in their auto fill box for coin description, so they at least know them across the street.

Wow! Didn't know beanbags needed slabbed!!

Although we all hate the bogus slabs and the problems they cause, there's nothing that says that people cannot buy Coin World holders and offer their opinions on them.

What I would like to see on ebay are separate categories for the top 4 TPGs and all the other slabs separated from the top 4 in the coin section.

money and this hobby is not regulated yet due to "investment" aspects.

I doubt that there are ANY bogus slab companies.

most likely all are legit.

Feebay doesn't care about the coin hobby or ethics, all about fee's.

Doesn't Ebay have trouble even properly identify some PCGS slabs? I recall seeing a few PCGS 'rattler" slab auctions canceled where the alleged reason for the cancellation was that the slab was not a PCGS slab.
