Has ebay lost their mind? I received this email, and thought it was a spoof or prank. It wasn't
MC999 eBay Listing Removed: Adult Material (535850816)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear frankcoins (frank@frankcoins.com),
You recently listed the following listing:
110765031768 - EQUATORIAL GUINEA 1970 100 PESETAS .64oz .999 SILVER GOYA
Unfortunately, we had to remove your listing because of the following:
You listed an item with images that contain nudity outside of the appropriate regulated category. Naked lady sillouettes (such as on mudflaps or coins) are allowed in the general categories as long as there is no nipple/areaola detail on the item. We want to create an atmosphere that mirrors real life, where adults can purchase legal items, but people who are offended by these kinds of materials don't have to see them. Please relist this sexually-oriented adult material in the Adult Only category. However, even items that may be legal to sell to adults may not be permitted on eBay.
My original listing is completely gone, but looked like
This one

Frank in trouble with eBay?
impossible?!?!
<< <i>what?

It's like Bill Murray in "GroundHog Day"
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
edited more than once my bad
I wonder if they make exceptions for art, as this is obviously a repro of a Goya work....
And they obviously don't know art or they'd recognize the name
You can list "adult material" you just have to make sure you choose the right category when listing.
I sold some classic playboys once and went through the same thing...but then I figured out you can't list it in "magazine back issues"...it has to also be under adult material.
Stupid, yes.
Seems like every time I correct someone on the Precious Metals forum for getting something
completely wrong (claiming debt destruction results in an INCREASE in the money supply) people
try and get my ebay auctions shut down. How petty some people are on here.

Reading comprehension.....
Frank's was this one:
110765031768 - EQUATORIAL GUINEA 1970 100 PESETAS .64oz .999 SILVER GOYA
(you can read that in his OP)
He then says it was SIMILAR to the one he linked to on ebay. When ebay removes a listing, you can't view it, so he gave an example.
Also, when it comes to listing on ebay, I kind of think Frank forgot more than you know so far
(though, he has more trials and tribulations that a barrel full of monkeys when it comes to ebay

I still think someone or someones have it in for him.

Nothing should astonish any longer.

Any idea who your stalker might be?

Try searching the love token category sometime, as I often do. You'll constantly be tripping over modern fantasy issue "brothel" tokens with all sorts of naughty sayings. Sometimes those "Heads I win, Tails you lose" pieces with the nekkid lady front/back, too.
But a government-issued COIN based on a famous fine art 19th century PAINTING, that triggers their wrath.
They've truly lost their minds.

Having suffered the same demise, I learned its better to not mix your ebay account with your forum account.

Hey Frank, it's time that you stop making false accusations. And, since this post is directed at my comments in the Precious Metals Forum, let me be clear:
1) you clearly didn't read or comprehend my post
2) you are making a false accusation, since I had nothing to do with your ebay problems
Please apologize.
I knew it would happen.

Sorry, no apology from me. I made no accusation against you. Just an observation. And there were many people participating in the thread.

Correlating factor or COINcidence ?
The few times eBay has messed with me is when I was having the most fun here.

Let's review. You couldn't tell the difference between an either/or statement, and then you called me an ignorant voter because I disagreed with you.
You quoted me in that pm thread, incorrectly attributed it to someone else, and then made the accusation in this thread - that someone messed with your ebay auction. If you quoted me, were you somehow accusing someone else?
I couldn't care less about your ebay problems. It's all your own stuff, and you need to own it. Not my issue. Stop making false accusations and then denying that you made them.

A number of people in the precious metals forum have ideas about economics that are JUST WRONG. It has nothing to do with politics. Many think we are under a huge inflationary period. We are NOT. YOU were the one mentioning printing billion dollar notes. Then I said that it's bad when people make investment and voting decisions based on incorrect assumptions. Again, you think I am specifically targeting you. I neither accused YOU of having anything to do with interfering with my eBay auctions, nor called YOU an ignorant voter.
"A car is a tool that takes you from one place to another. Everything beyond that is a payment for other people's perception of you."
BINGO
Frank, it's not what you say, it's the way you say it. It's O.K. to be critical...just wrap some caramel around it.

Not correct. Pre-1980 Playboy magazines are specifically permitted in magazine back issues.

Ha ha, that reminds me of the Simpsons episode when Homer said, "I never apologize! I'm sorry, that's just the way I am."
