Interesting that Ebay is now lending its name on co branded silver and gold bars
eBay Co-Branded Gold and Silver Bar
Minted by the Perth and Royal Canadian Mints
I wonder if this changes their liability as EBay, for its part, insists that it is not a retailer but a marketplace"the world's online marketplace"and as such is not responsible for the products offered on its site. So far, the courts have agreed.
might just get interesting.... thoughts?

When they offer Rhodium at a reasonable price - I'll be in line !
Hardly an auction, is it?
Bullion is rarely auctioned on eBay unless the opening bid or the reserve is higher than melt. Can anyone show me a 10 oz silver bar with a $0.99 start and no reserve?

Ok, after getting off my I-phone and onto a bigger screen I was able to see where it describes the bars as sealed in plastic,

Other vendors selling items with their logo wouldn't have any impact on that, whether it's caps, shirts or bars of silver.

Currently $163.50. I'm guessing he has a shill account to make sure it doesn't go too cheap. I don't think I've ever seen a 10 oz silver bar sell for less than melt on eBay.

Can't wait to see what ebay does when counterfeits start showing up.

The RCM 10 oz silver bars have anti-counterfeiting features that make them more difficult to counterfeit that ASE's so I'm not too worried. Agree that someone will try to counterfeit them and it will be interesting to see what eBay's reaction will be.

You asked
20 oz starting price $.99 on eBay
I myself, start all my PM auctions at $.99 & I'm not alone.

No. John makes a good point in the O/P. Ebay is now in the licensing business if they are selling their name and "not just a venue."

Perry Hall... I was bringing it up not because of the specific item but because by branding it changes the liability and defense that ebay has used over the years.... the thread sort of got Hijacked.thanks sellitstore for getting us back on track
Gotcha and you are quite correct. One of these days we may even see coins from one of the usual third world countries that make so-called commemorative collector coins with the ebay logo.

Do you mean Franklin Mint produced for some small island country collectible coinage?

Yup. Most of these coins have never been inside the country that is shown in the coin's design. Also, these coins aren't always from small island countries although most are. The Somali enameled guitar and motorcycle shaped coins come to mind.

Oops, sorry for posting. I thought this was the PM forum.
Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.
UPS tried to deliver mine but alas I wasn't home.
UPS won't send my package to the local UPS Store so I will have to drive 40+ miles to the HUB to pick them up.
I am hoping for bar #18 in honor of the 2016 SuperBowl Champion Peyton Manning
they sold 6010 of them - every couple hours it seemed the price moved by a nickel or dime, do they have a program linked to the spot price of silver?
will we now get spam mail/email the rest of our lives to buy more from them?

Price was auto-linked to spot. They just listed a third batch and removed the earlier "discounted price." Now $162.

Got mine. Very nice!! Bars are individually wrapped and numbered in the 8500 range. Not sure how they made any money with free UPS shipping. I'd buy again from them!
Ah, you make joke! You funny man!
I got mine today serial number eb007495 and purchase was near 2980 on sold count.
There's a lowest serial number giveaway on the precious metals forum.
