    They will continue to get pulled by the drones. People need to start calling Ebay customer support, and ask for a supervisor in the "Trust & Safety" dep't.

    Then ask that supervisor to contact his manager in Trust and Safety to let these be listed.

    It is Seller Risk Management dep't. that has the final say, but we can't talk to them.
  • <<Two of mine say shipped on the mints website, the tracking number is valid but when I click to track it just states info will be available when it gets to them at UPS. I'm guessing they printed a lot of labels today but there not in UPS hands yet. Some probably are but they would need a semi to pick them all up.>>

    Yeah, that was the case for me yesterday. Later on in the evening, it changed to a tracking number for UPS Next Day Air with the "shipped on" field and "weight" field showing.

    Technically, Ebay shouldn't since they have a picture of "alleged physical possession" and the Ebay acct name. Maybe, Ebay contacted the seller and asked for a delivey receipt and the seller responsed it was a bill of lading for a fake bags of goods. image

    prices are high because people are panic bidding on the few to be listed


    once the flood hits, and the BIN people list under the closed auction prices, the closing prices will come down and down.

    I must have missed this, ebay will not allow boxes to be sold for thousands of dollars?

  • Has anyone else noticed...

    All of my orders say 10/27/11 at 12:xx AM. I ordered after noon Eastern time. I'm not sure why they say AM? I have one for 12:16 AM, two for 12:30 AM and two for 12:31 AM.

    And they're all in stock and reserved.

    If you list an auction for a 1-day or 3-day sale, it lasts a little while and gets poofed.

    But, if you list it as a BIN...you have a shot at a quick buyout.
    Worked for this guy. (not me by the way)

    It remains to be seen if ebay will cancel it after the sale and cause him to disappear from the completed listings. They have been doing so to everyone else that got by them.

    THIS ONE appears to be complying with ebay's "special" listing rules for the sets. Let's see if they leave him alone.

  • A box of 5 just arrived here at the store, I called a customer thats been waiting for a set,
    and offered him a set for $700. He is on his way, but asked if I would wait till he got here,
    so he could watch me open the box, sure, cool...No cherry picken though, just pick a box :-)
    I will keep the other 4 here for Over the counter sales at $700 a set...
    unless the market adjusts up or down...

    It's nice that these will make up for some mega loss's from the 5oz pucks. haaaaa

    38378xxx still shows as "in process". However, I have not received any wait list notice (yet).

    Order was placed 5.02 EST.

  • If the seller can take a close-up of the label on the package and it shows it was delivered today along with a print screen of their tracking number(truncated, of course) on the U.S. Mint website, I think that would authenticate it is for a real set. Also, have their Ebay acct name on the package. Any thoughts?

  • jeremym,
    I noticed that the day they went on sale. Reading all the problems here, damn if I was going to even address that with USM. Some things are just better left alone.

    appears they are going to yank them all until someone there makes a decision to start leaving them up. they are currently pulling listings that appear to comply with their special rules.

    So, here is a "What if.'

    What if eBay decides you can't sell an sealed box? It has to be opened and show the coins in order to list them.

    << <i>So, here is a "What if.'

    grading companies will make a lot of money & some will find after opening the sets they get a lot less money than they expected.


    But I think eBay can be convinced to allow sealed boxes if their trusted "coins & currency" advisors suggest it is an acceptable risk.



    Now..... who wants to buy a sealed box off eBay knowing that there are eBay scammers out there???

    would it be any different than selling new electronics and such, how do you know there is really a vcr or computer in that box, just because there is a picture on it? Really ?

  • The high brows in the Ebay legal dept must be in frantic mode right now. I think b/c these sets are going for so much that it is in Ebay's best interest to ensure the buyers are secured in getting the merchandise or Ebay's integrity and service will take a hit. I think they are going about this in the right way, being proactive. The next step is harder, communicate to the selllers what the bleep they need from them to sell the sets without risk of being zapped. It has to be fair both ways.

    Simple, hold funds in sellers account until buyer is satisfied. They do this all the time. If I ran ebay, any sale over $1000 would be treated this way.

    It seems all the focus is on "sealed" boxes of 5 sets, so it may be a good time to open the box and sell them individually. The casual collector looking to complete his ungraded/mint-packaged ASE collection (like me) won't be interested in 5 set auctions.

    unfortunately, there are too many label collectors.

    Nope. Unsealed boxes have been cherrypicked and all coins aren't elgible for F/S and Anniversary label. Sealed sets are the only way to go.

  • Wouldn't you think that the U.S. Mint would use better tape, not the kind you get at the 99 cent store, to seal these boxes? It is a shame.

    of the slots and even out of the plastic caps..
    loose rattling around in the wood box...
    Once re-assembled the sets were beautifull though,
    just lousy packaging...image
