Ebay police pulled my 8 little auctions today................

SUMORADA

Yesterday,On the front page of Numismatic News I saw that someone had found a DDR on the TJ $1 coin, I had some of the ones pictured raw ,So I threw a couple up on ebay (8) using a photo of the DDR-001 that I took myself,

In the description I put a file photo of mine of a TJ $1 coin OBV/REV and explained that the coin the winner would receive would be fresh from a BU roll........After they whacked the listings,

I called them and they said that I needed to post a obv and rev of each coin......so I said ok but can I use the same DDR-001 photo on each auction?...........NO....um...YES....NO...um...you can't use the same picture in more then 1 auction............I gave up and said thank you...

The 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.



Sellers are not permitted to sell coins, paper money or stamps that are fraudulent or improperly described. In addition, most countries around the world, including the U.S., strictly prohibit the sale of counterfeit currency and stamps, as well as the equipment designed to make these items. For this reason, listings for these items are not permitted on eBay.

However, sellers *can* list a "reproduction," "replica," or "copy" coin (U.S. or foreign), as long as the:

- The coin is plainly and permanently marked with the word ?COPY?
- The listing includes an image of the coin reflecting the appropriate markings
- The listing clearly states that it is a ?reproduction, ?replica? or ?copy? in both the title and description

OK, so the jokers at Ebay are idiots. What else is new?

Seriously, they know nothing about what is legitimate and what isn't... Ignorant I suppose is a better perjorative... <sarcasm>But after all, they are just a venue...</sarcasm>

My business with eBay has come to a dead halt. I wouldn't care if they pulled the plug on my account, and I've had it since October of 1996. I'm one of their first 100,000 customers...and I would never use the place again. I think their policies borderline on illegal, and am just waiting for the right people to sue their butts for libel.

Coppercoins probably remembers my winning $25 from "Skippy" in the ebay chat room when I won a question and answer raffle and my account had a credit balance of over $25 for well over 5 years straight and suddenly when I decided to sell a couple of coins, ebay decided that they couldn't find why my account had a credit balance and unilaterally took away my $25 "skippy bucks."

I state with the truth: ebay stole money from me. I do not trust ebay.

Ebay: Go ahead and sue me. The truth is a proper defense from claimed libel.

hubird

the truth, so much with so little effort.

Why can't they see the light?

I don't understand why people selling a coin find it a hassle and act put out that they have to post a picture of the coin they are selling.
Stock photos blow.

mrearlygold

What do you mean you "called them"?

ModernCrapNut

And just yesterday I noticed a seller had 4 dutch auctions going for groups of 5 '06 Reverse Proof ASEs. Each auction used the same pic and the text stated it was a stock photo. Guess it's not who you know, it's who you ****.

Yeah "powerscrewers" get to call and speak to a real person, they are always nice but seldom helpful, they have a nice way of telling you that you are wrong Ebay is right!

I always try to take the best photos that i can of the obv/rev of the coins I list, In this case I used my own photo of the DDR-001, the obv/rev pics were just to show that it was a Jefferson $1 coin!

Look at the guys selling.....bags...boxes...rolls and coffee cans full of coins.....I don't see any obv/rev pics....are they going to pull all of those too?

Last but not least, how about Pre-sales......they sell "AIR".......

I stopped selling on "flea-bay" because I got sick and tired of the never-ending policy changes and also I felt that, by putting items on their site, I was giving it away. Too much costs and time involved. I had my website already up and running and it was (and still is) cheaper. I will buy items there but I will no longer sell.

do you really expect ebay to hire professionals or hire 8-11 dollars
an hour help. basically the people who could not find a job anywhere
else.

you get what you pay for and it goes both ways.
