listing pulled from ebay,first time ever this has happened to me :(

mojoman

I just had a listing pulled from ebay, this was the ad
1873 CARSON CITY
SEATED TRADE DOLLAR - COPY?
I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS REAL
THE REAL TRADE DOLLARS WEIGHT
.787 OF A OUNCE
THIS ONE IS .770 THIS WOULD BE A GREAT SLIDER OR CONVERSATION PIECE

IF IT WAS REAL THE PRICE GUIDE PUTS IT AT

$4150.00 IN GOOD CONDITION

AND $30,000 IN VF WOW!!


I bought this on ebay with almost the same type of ad?

HAS ANYONE EVER HAD A AD PULLED? I was not misleading anyone just letting them know it was a copy,because of the weight .

ebay response: Dear the_northern_trading_company,

You recently listed the following auction-style listing:

300141586271 - 1873 CC SEATED TRADE DOLLAR * COPY? PLEASE READ*The auction-style listing was removed because it violated the eBay Counterfeit Currency and Stamps policy. All fees related to this listing have been credited to your account. We also notified members who placed bids on the item that the listing has
been canceled.

then they sent this lol:
First of all, we assure you that your current level of performance exceeds the standards. Congratulations and thank you.
As a seller in good standing, you're well aware that buyer satisfaction is vital to your continued success -- and the continued success of eBay. Thank you for your solid track record and continued commitment to good customer service. We're confident that enforcing this policy will go a long way to keeping eBay a great place to buy and sell for you and for all our users.

just wondering if I was in the wrong? MoJo

It's well established that sellers who honestly describe their coins as possibly, probably or definitely fake get their auctions pulled, while the scammers who foist them off as genuine are often unaffected.

According to eBay's listing rules, yes.

U.S. federal laws strictly prohibit the sale of counterfeit coins or paper money, as well as equipment designed to make these illegal products. U.S. law also protects coins or paper money from counterfeiters. Therefore, these counterfeit items may not be listed on eBay.

From here: Selling Coins

Sellers agree not to knowingly sell, exhibit, trade, produce, or advertise a copy or reproduction of any numismatic item if its nature is not clearly indicated by the word "copy" or "reproduction," incused in the metal or printed on the paper thereof.

From here: "Code of Conduct" for Selling Coins & Paper Money on eBay

Your text is not eBay-ready. Ebay does not like this:

<< <i>I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS REAL >>

They like this:

<< <i>IS IT REAL?????? YOU BE THE JUDGE!! >>

In the case of a Trade Dollar, because it was demonitorized by the Gov't, is a fake still considered counterfeit money?

In any case, somebody probably dropped dime on you.

Hey MOjo, what were you selling, a pig in a poke? If it is the real deal why would you not have it graded to
get the money you refer to? If it is a fake, then just list it on the bay as a maybe, you be the judge coin.
That's BS and that's why ebay has rules and why the US gov't enforces their laws.

Just my humble opinion,
bob

<< <i>In any case, somebody probably dropped dime on you. >>



That is my thought also
But like I said when I BOUGHT IT it had almost the same listing, so now I relist it as IS IT REAL? YOU BE THE JUDGE LOL.
I will just hang on to it , maybe down the road put it in a giveaway .
thanks everyone for your help,MoJo

<< <i>Hey MOjo, what were you selling, a pig in a poke? If it is the real deal why would you not have it graded to >>



Hi,I said I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS REAL !
and if it was real these would be the prices but....I also stated the weight of the coin
and stated it would be a good coversation coin,I was not trying to scam anyone
sorry if I offened you.MoJo

Although against ebay policy, I think if sellers disclose the genuiness of a particular coin it should be allowed to sell. I can understand they're point though.

Yes, I saw that, but you alluded to the fact it might be worth big bucks, did you not? Have it
stamped copy and then sell it as such and you'll get a fair price for a copy. As a coin seller and
collector it would be your responsiblility to keep this copy out of circulation unless marked as
such. It was listed in the wrong catagory as well. It was in the coin catagory and as a copy
it would not be a coin but a token.

Someone here (or on the internet) made sure one of mine got pulled as MISLEADING, one time.
The auction involved PCGS, Ebay and a PowerScrewer with a GO FISH MYSTERY LOT.
It lasted all of two hours, started at one cent, had ten bidders and 254 visitors as I recall.... and was up to ten dollars. I think AskRaq from the boards was winning. The ad didn't tell the EBAYERS that there was an MS68 Cheerios Sacagawea in it... Someone made sure I never got the chance. (I was trying to raise money to help my kid with college )
God bless you, whoever you are. Your services were greater than that of St Peter or Ceasar.

Heritage just sold an MS 67 for $11,500. I would have lost.
