  • Being a small time, occasional seller on eBay (unlike those who have their own account reps), I haven't received any notice from eBay about this. If they're going to do it, they need to announce it.

    I have not seen anything posted regarding the change on the eBay bulleting board...

    Enforcement is not going to be immediate.

    From one of Russ's eBay coin discussion posts:

    ****Sent to another seller who inquired about the change:

    Dear Jon,

    Thank you for writing eBay in regard to our policies concerning the sale of coins.

    You are indeed correct that our policies will be changing shortly. On September 17th our policy page regarding the sale of coins and currency will be updated to include the following information.

    When listing a certified coin, the coin must be certified by one of the following authorized grading companies:

    * Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC)
    * Numismatic Conservation Services (NCS)
    * Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS)
    * Independent Coin Grading (ICG)
    * ANACS

    In addition, listings for certified coins:

    * Must be assigned the appropriate grading attributes in each listing. Sellers must select the appropriate grading attributes within the Sell Your Item form, including "Grading Company," "Grade" and "Serial Number"
    provided with that grading.

    * The listing must include an image of the item, showing the coin in its graded holder, front and back.

    If the coin listed is not certified by one of the above authorized grading companies, the coin is considered raw/uncertified and is subject to additional requirements for their sale.

    A raw or uncertified coin is defined as any coin not graded by one of the authorized grading companies. Sellers are permitted to list these items on eBay under the following conditions:
    * A numeric grade is not included in the title of the listing, such as MS-65, VF-25, etc. A numeric grade may only be included in the description of the listing.
    * The grading company or price guide is not referenced in the title or description.
    * A dollar value (even if personal opinion) is not included in the title or description.

    As of this time the policy is not being enforced and enforcement may not be immediate as we work to make sure everything is working correctly.

    We thank you in advance for your cooperation, and wish you luck with your future eBay transactions.

    Sincerely,
    Akira

    Yes, I'm counting on that. And I hope they'll go after third tier slabbers first before coming after PCGS sellers that don't have a full photo of the rev slab. I sell 99% PCGS goins and 1% NGC andI often haven't included the full photo of the reverse if all that is there is the hologram. but I'll be gradually adding it to all my auctions.
  • RussRuss Posts: 48,514 ✭✭✭
    Yeah, I have a bunch up right now with no reverse image of the slab. I went through and shot the images for the next round, though.

    Isn't is true that more times than not, that enforcement only comes after the listing is reported by another ebay member.
    Crazy old man from Missouri
  • Not that it really matters but a thought:

    If Ebay is going to mandate that the full front "AND" full back of the slabs be shown Should not Ebay then allow 2 free picture/scans instead of 1???

    To me it looks like an attempt to just generate more income for them and not really has anything to do with cleaning up anything.

    It'll take time for full enforcement to kick in, like Russ said.
