Ebay Scams - Draped Bust Dollar

I tried to post a thread to warn yall not to purchase this coin, but the thread needed to be approved and was buried in time. Here is a screenshot of the listing:

The coin photos were stolen and the coin is not for sale at this time, I know the owner and spoke with him over the phone to confirm. Listed price is very reasonable. Someone made an offer on this fraudulent listing, the offer was approved, and the buyer will not receive the coin in the photos.

This is a reoccuring scam with new Ebay accounts.

A dangerous new scam involves hacked accounts, similar to the problem on this forum. Reputable Ebay accounts with lots of 100% positive feedback are getting hacked and posting fraudulent listings. I've seen only bullion ads so far. Buyer beware.

    Never used to be an issue in my years of purchasing. In the last few weeks I've seen a handful of examples. That's what's new.

    Never heard of a discussion about hacked Ebay accounts on this forum. People are concerned about their accounts being hacked here, and they should likewise be on Ebay.
