It's a great day on ebay when they cancel a sale in a captial plastic holder

I guess a white capital plastic holder must look like a slab.

The funnt thing is I never described it as certified but as a VF.

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.



eBay does not permit the sale of currency that is improperly described, fraudulent or counterfeit. As such, sellers of coins or paper money are required to disclose information about the authenticity of any items listed, including any information regarding alterations or other information which may have a material impact on the value of the item listed.

Sellers may only list a coin as "certified," if it has been certified by one of the following authorized grading companies:

- Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC)
- Numismatic Conservation Services (NCS)
- Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS)
- Independent Coin Grading (ICG)
- ANACS

***Note***
If the coin has not been certified by one of the authorized grading companies, the coin may only be listed as raw or certified. Raw or uncertified coins are permitted for sale on eBay, as long as:

- A numeric grade is not included in the title of the listing, such as MS-65, VF-25, etc. A numeric grade may only be included in the description of the listing.
- The grading company or price guide is not referenced in the title or description.
- A dollar value (even if personal opinion) is not included in the title or description.

    And yet, even though reported 3 days before it ended, they'll let stuff like this run to completion! image
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    This one was reported on Friday and closedon Monday. Ebay doesn't respond well over the weekend. Remember that ebay has no numismatic expertise and cs reps respond to complaints. Apparently someone complained about your auctions and the CS guy wasn't smart enough to figure it out. I would put in my auction "This coin is in a capital plastics holder and is not certified by a TPG."

    edit: edited to add that I'm not finding fault with the OP who has a right to be upset. Just trying to add insight how to be successful with eBay. We can't change them so we have to just try to understand them.

    too bad the auction was removed. I would like to see the exact title and auction description.....

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Agreed. But at least we know this:

    "The funnt thing is I never described it as certified but as a VF.:

    and then this:

    "A numeric grade is not included in the title of the listing, such as MS-65, VF-25,"

    Pretty darn clear.

    That could be a good point, It is a VF 30 , I may have called it's a Vf30 or VF+ , I don't remember. Is there a way for the seller to pull this info?

  • I noticed when you search ms70 on ebay 526 items come up. All are certified by a legit company that are willing to back up their grade.
    When you type in ms70 and check the title and description box 2682 items pop up.
