Since I'm retired and basically sit at my computer all day long, I can tell you I report more than 2 dozen CC dollars every day.
Sounds like a terrible retirement! There is also no way you can be 100% sure a coin is counterfeit playing keyboard cop. I remember when eBay had the panel of keyboard cops. So many legit coins were taken down. When eBay did away with that, it was very welcome. You could not list a Trade dollar without one of those jokers saying it was counterfeit.
There are, unfortunately, far too many coins on Ebay, for which the lack of authenticity can be determined by knowledgeable “keyboard cops”. The 79-CC in this thread is a perfect/no-brainer example.
I don’t know if there was more than one panel of the type you mentioned. But I was on one for a short time, many years ago, and we were very cautious about recommending that listings be taken down.
I am glad they shut you guys down! Sorry, but I had no less than 10 legit coins taken down and was issued warnings, all for no reason. The problem with part time detectives is that they are always looking for the next victory. You of all people should know that you can't judge coins from images. If you could, we would just send PCGS photos of our coins and they would give us a grade!
As you can tell here, I am not a fan of meddlers inserting themselves in others folks businesses, which is what eBay is to many of these people. eBay will always stand behind a buyer, always. If you are not employed by the company to go out on witch hunts, then don't do it.
Do you go into coin shops looking for fake coins and then stand out on the sidewalk with a sign saying, don't buy from this guy? Do you do the same at shows? So why is eBay any different? We have people bidding a million bucks on an auction above. That by the way, is more against eBay rules than the guy selling a fake, if he believes it is not.
Peace to all and I realize the intention is good, but I don't believe it is your right.

There’s a huge difference between determining the (lack of) authenticity of a poorly made counterfeit vs. grading a coin to within a pint or two (or more) from an image. I was speaking of the former, in response to your post.
