eBay: Someone About To Get Royally Screwed

I saw this listing earlier on eBay by seller daveydav30. The seller has listed silver Libertads plated to make them appear like gold. I politely sent the seller a message through eBay and noted the issue while giving him the benefit of the doubt. His response was "they are gold in color and as far as i know these are gold.... i have never seen silver look like gold."

Since then, someone BINed the listing. Is there any way to report the item and help out the buyer? The seller seems like a scumbag who knows what he is doing, and it would be nice to stop the transaction.

    Is there anyone to find out the buyer? The coins say plata pura which means pure silver......I agree he is trying to screw someone over very bad!!

    He must not know what Plata Pura means.

    I just sent him a question about "plata pura"

    Here is his response:


    Dear 08hala20,

    I'm calling it gold because the coin itself is gold. i am about to pull them off because i am getting conflicting comments about them

    Hopefully he makes it right.

    I reported him....definitely a scam. Anyone can put "plata pura" into google and find
    that it's pure silver. Perhaps I'll watch for feedback and then notify the buyer.

    I'm like that sometimes!

    I just wasted 15 minutes of my life trying to report it after it was closed, but eHole makes it impossible to do so.

    Yeh, there was a guy selling 90% silver pre 1965 nickels. I messaged him and he said people are buying these types of thing. So I reported him. Not sure if Flebag did anything about it.
