Just terrible

CEOGBOSE · June 25, 2011 1:37PM

I reported it and they still haven't pulled it down. Can't believe how many people have purchased them.

Peace Dollars anyone?

keyman64 · June 25, 2011 1:39PM

Yikes! People should just plain know that if it is too good to be true...

JamesMurray · June 25, 2011 1:41PM

Almost 100 sales , that's 10,000 of these ..wow..

mingot · June 25, 2011 1:44PM

reported, but --

I am one of those people who almost always feels sorry for the victim. In this case, though, those 98 people who already bought these ... i just can't bring myself to feel anything for them.

JamesMurray · June 25, 2011 1:46PM

It was 97 just a minute ago when i looked

JamesMurray · June 25, 2011 1:47PM

99 now...ffs

Somebody should select quantity of 1000, and then ignore invoices. This should get sLeazeBay's attention. This is exactly the kind of activity that the D.O.J. needs to investigate and slam eBay hard on.

1897smorgan · June 25, 2011 1:49PM

I looked at this ad earlier this afternoon. I saw Hong Kong and that was enough to red flag it for me. Are you guys hinting that these are fake?

Disgusting. How does ebay get away with being the conduit for this

No can do. 201 left, but they require immediate payment.

I for one believe that the tax revenue sleazeBay pulls in for the gulag of Californicate is one possible reason that the Fed hasn't stepped in yet.

Immediate payment I didn't even check that at first oh my that means these crooks are getting paid instantly 100 x 399.99 = $39,999 stolen so far I bet they're withdrawing it instantly too some how or using the paypal account to buy something else. .

TwoSides2aCoin · June 25, 2011 2:14PM

eBay doesn't care how many people get screwed... as long as they're doing the screwing.

Here's how I make my real money: New kitty Shopping reusable Tote bag Handbag = $.99.

Forty Gs on the fake Peaces; not bad. Why would eBay think anything was up? Looks like it's not all about the buyers after all.

JamesMurray · June 25, 2011 2:49PM

103 sold

Well that buyers protection they've been advertising all over the place is going to get put to the test for 103 + buyers on this one for sure.

DuCrozat · June 25, 2011 2:52PM

I do feel sorry for victims, but if they would just do a little homework, they would figure out you don't get Peace dollars for $3.99 each.

The next thing you know, these will be offered on Ebay from domestic sellers for $25 and up.

My guess is this was planned now for a year, since the account has been up since May of 2010. Build up good feedback with a bunch of trinkets, then dump these on the market and take it and run.

Won't PayPal hold the funds for feedback or 90 days?

JamesMurray · June 25, 2011 2:59PM

You've got to wonder how many buyers are really victims and who are domestic scammers seeing an opportunity.These won't be marked as copies and might pass a rough photo,craigslist or any number of avenues of disposal.
I think that's a great point about buyer protection , it's a big hit and bigger by morning i'd bet.

ChrisRx · June 25, 2011 3:02PM

Item location:

China, Hong Kong

Result:

$399 lesson.

Buyer protection man , ebay will have to eat this one.There may be a few who dont realise they have fakes but the majority will ..maybe not come to think of it....never mind : )

FullCameo · June 25, 2011 3:09PM

Im sure some of these buyer are purchasing them knowing they are fakes, only to flip them on eBay for a tidy profit. Sad.

DuCrozat · June 25, 2011 3:09PM

If Ebay wakes up, they may be able to contact the buyers and reverse the payments. If anyone is awake...

I smell a FVF increase down the road.

MsMorrisine · June 25, 2011 3:11PM

I wonder if they will fail the magnet test.

reported them.

Pokermandude · June 25, 2011 3:11PM

Currently 104 fools have been separated from their money.

devious · June 25, 2011 3:14PM

Maybe they're legitimate? I mean, right, coming from China. Maybe these were the ones used to screw us all? Okay, so I read some feedback. One guy said FAKE on some shoes. Everybody else was happy! Hey, if it looks as good as the real deal...

ChrisRx · June 25, 2011 3:15PM

<< 

reported them. >>

I did too. Not sure if it will help.

JamesMurray · June 25, 2011 3:16PM

I wonder how many customs might catch , that's a lot of peace dollars and just one seller of tote bags.There must be mountains of them.

joebb21 · June 25, 2011 3:19PM

I have little doubt that those dollars would fool hundreds of dealers at a busy show

JamesMurray · June 25, 2011 3:20PM

<< I have little doubt that those dollars would fool hundreds of dealers at a busy show >>

A handfull mixed into a bag of 90% ,,i think you are right.

DuCrozat · June 25, 2011 3:31PM

First time I've ever reported anything on Ebay.

It seems like the government should have a hotline or something to report to.

JamesMurray · June 25, 2011 3:43PM

dcarr · June 25, 2011 4:17PM

The coins in the picture appear to be genuine.
But, the wording of the auction is evasive and maybe you only get ONE coin for $399.99.
Or the whole thing is a simple fraud with no intent to deliver.

JamesMurray · June 25, 2011 4:22PM

I'm not seeing it DC , evasive in what way ?

1897smorgan · June 26, 2011 3:29AM

<< I reported it and they still haven't pulled it down. Can't believe how many people have purchased them.

It looks like the ad is finally gone. I think at least 110 people bought into it before it was pulled.

dcarr · June 26, 2011 3:40AM

<< I'm not seeing it DC , evasive in what way ? >>

I mean, they didn't explicitly say that you get one coin or 100 coins.

ianrussell · June 26, 2011 3:43AM

That is quite a few customers eBay lost with that listing. I should be happy from my own business standpoint, but this is fraud... and eBay lets it happen. So wrong.

way cool, the itmes been pulled already

Pointless debating it now , but from what i seen it was very clear and said several times the buyer gets 100 peace dollars , it also mentions 5 rolls , what did others think that actually seen the listing ?

I agree with you, it clearly stated 100 Peace Dollars 5 rolls for buy it now price $399.99 well at least they finally shut it down after 110 plus soon to be disgruntled Ebay buyers purchased them. Hopefully those buyers won't get their $399.99 held hostage for 30 days since it required immediate payment while Ebay trys to sort out the chaos.

Just terrible
