This morning I relisted a bunch of items (between 50 & 60) on EBAY. Most of the listings are for slabbed coins and I had no problem relisting all PCGS, NGC & ANACS coins with start values below $2,500. 4 of my listings were for coins valued over $2,500. 2 of these were NGC coins and the relistings went through without a glitch. The 2 PCGS coins with prices above $2,500 were not accepted by the system, and I received an error message blocking the relisting and I couldn't figure out why.

I called EBAY customer service @ 8:24 a.m., went through the usual 'up the chain' series of representatives until the 4th rep. I spoke with, finally told me at 8:58 a.m. that it was not a problem with my listings buts was a 'system wide' issue that EBAY was working on. Since my NGC coins above $2,500 were accepted by the system for relisting without incident I asked the rep if it had anything to do with the recent proliferation of counterfeit PCGS slabs being listed on their site. She was very non-committal on that question and went back to the script telling me again it was a 'system wide' issue and that tech support was working on it. She said they did not have a 'work around' solution that would allow her to complete the listing for me. She said she had received several calls from other sellers experiencing a similar problem.

She advised I could try relisting the items every couple of days to see if the issue had been resolved. Don't know exactly whats up @ EBAY, but they currently don't want any high dollar PCGS slabs listed. I find it interesting since you can still list NGC slabs with a start price over $2,500...just not PCGS slabs. Anybody else being blocked from listing PCGS coins with a start value higher than $2,500?

    It will be interesting to see what develops. If the counterfeit slab issue has now become a serious problem ...

    Most likely a glitch at ebay. Try listing them without using PCGS in the title. Then try leaving PCGS out of item specifics. As last resort leave PCGS out of everything including the description. Your picture will make it known it is PCGS certified. If it works you can always revise after problem is solved. Let us know which area(s) wouldn't accept "PCGS."

    and yes, dbcoin is correct. I believe Don has a batphone to ebay.

    Thanks for the link to the earlier thread. Did not catch that or even think to look for one after experiencing the problem this morning. The only caveat I would add is that it only seems to be impacting PCGS coins. I successfully relisted two NGC coins with start values over $2,500.

    Greg,

    As others have posted, we talked about this problem last weekend in another thread. The coin that I was trying to re-list was in an NGC slab, so it (the problem) is not just affecting PCGS slabs. I don't know why your NGC listings succeeded, but mine sure did not. In any case, the rep I spoke to said there were LOTS of others experiencing the same problem...

    I have recent success with listing $2500+ NGC slabs.
