If you have the time and want to do a little snooping

take a look at these Ebay auctions: 281159945507, 161097644537, 251330358788, 111156743759, 111156705953

Different sellers, different cities, different fakes, but all the same scam (and seller, too, I suspect).

    Why pay too much to some fool Canadian, when I can buy the same coin for a couple of bucks from a Chinese guy?

    Update from Judith:

    Hello Bob,

    Thanks for reporting these listings to us.

    I have sent your report to the Coin Community Watch group for their review. Some are counterfeit. I am also investigating the accounts. It sounds like more Chinese mischief.

    Again, thank you for your report. We appreciate your help in keeping eBay a safe and reputable forum to conduct business.

    Sincerely,

    Judith

    Humor me. Judith is just a pseudonym for anyone working in the department that monitors reports in the U.S. Coins category of eBay. Otherwise, it would seem that Judith works 24/7/365.

    Good work, Bob.
    I'm glad that ebay has come around to using input from folks who know and care about coins, to weed out some of the fraudsters!

    Bob, I think that you just officially got deputized. Great work! Maybe they should give you some eBay bucks for all of your efforts...

    Proof that no matter how bad it gets, vigilance is good. Ebay should give you eBay bucks or a PayPow Gift.

    Ebay has considered giving Ebay bucks for those that help out, like me. However, at this time it has
    not been implemented.

    I'm patiently waiting for my 10K in free ebay bucks!

    We've saved them from more than just counterfeits.

    We've pointed out fake listings with coins the seller does not own & are "selling" to simply rake in $$ from the unsuspecting.



    We're working for free and we've saved them at least 6 figures.

    I would like a little something over higher fees.

    Love it when I get these notices!

    MS Morisine: great point! But, I don't mind working for free just to help the hobby.

    +1.

    i do it for 2 main reasons.

    1. to protect possible buyers.
    2. to prevent those image from getting any more $ than they do.

    one of the best ways to stop something/someone, hit em in their pocketbook.

    MsMorrisine, do you ever NOT have something to complain about?

    i've had several communications back n forth with the illustrious "Judith" from the RE: BN%P10072 Selling Coins messages.

    my main fault with these is not noticing they were communicating back with me sooner that i did.

    the first time i noticed they were responding made me quite pleased to know there was give/take.
