ebay listings pulled?advise needed

My listings was pulled because it said "UNC type b" in the heading TITLE
now if I read the listing policy correct it says
"- There isn't a numeric grade in the listing's title. (A grade can be included in the item description though.)
- No grading company or price guide is mentioned in the title or description.
- No dollar value is included in the title or description (even if it's just a personal opinion)."

My question is the type b a numeric grade? or FS-901 is this a grade? was I in the wrong?any help is appreciated,thanks in advance ,MoJo image

    in the description did you say what they sell for or are worth XXX?

    Rule they quoted:
    "Coins are ungraded and listings show an image with dollar values."

    My advice: don't violate that rule.

    I'll bet somebody thinks 901 is a numeric grade.

    Was this your listing?

    As someone already pointed out. You cannot assign a value to a coin which isn't slabbed by one of the sanctioned grading companies. Period.

    It sounds like they haven't a clue, which is par for the course. Drop the coneca and number in the title and retry.

    Sorry to hear they pulled your auctions. Actually, I think you did violate one of their rules. The above quoted rule which they removed your auction for states that you cannot have an image within the listing that shows values of the coin. After searching your recently closed auctions, you do show an image from the Cherrypickers Guide which shows the picture of the variety and the "value" of the variety in said grades.

    I think that is the reason eBay pulled your auction.

    Additionally, not that it really matters, but did you have permission to post an image of that page? If not, I think that is copyright violation. Someone can correct me if I am wrong.

    Here is the auction that I found:

    Maybe they think UNC is a TPG?

    If it was me ... either get the coins graded or change the wording from "Proof reverse" to Proof reverse dies & leave out the Coneca reference FS 901. Also, the price guide listed can only be used on certified coins.

    At first, I was going to say that I bet someone thought CONECA was a grading service. image But, maybe they think 901 is a grade, too. ha ha ha...

    Yup ... another "helpful answer" from an eBay basher .... The OP is asking for help so that he can avoid future issues with eBay. He does not need your "one liner."

    I think they know exactly why they pulled the auction and they told him exactly what he did wrong. And it has nothing to do with a Coneca attribution:

  • Yes 20/20 hindsight. Crop the dollar value in the Cherrypickers pic and you should be fine.
  • RussRuss Posts: 48,514 ✭✭✭
    Yep, they were pulled because of the image showing values. There's no way a T&S drone found that on his own, which means some petty little rat fink reported the auctions.

    Correct, this is exactly what I said in my earlier reply.
