I've been reporting many coins each day, and after more than a week, obvious counterfeit coins still remain up for auction on ebay, I really am starting to think they just don't care anymore, as long as they get their fees, they figure only a handful of buyers will make claims anyways and their profit line stays on the upswing. Sad day for the ebay buyer and honest ebay sellers when they decided to dump the peer reviewed reporting system. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

You're absolutely correct. ebay has formally abdicated their responsibility to protect their buyers from (literal) felons breaking Federal law to sell counterfeits with deliberate intent to defraud. |

There is a coins and coin accessories site that is similar to the ebay format... it's USA Coin Book. It's a pretty nice site and there are some wondeful sellers there. As with any other online sales place be careful. I have puchased over 100 very legitimate, excellent coins. I've also sold coins on the site. I had one non-payer and another very obvious scam artist who wanted me to mail him $2500 in coins because he was 'going to send me' payment on his wife's PayPal account. |

Probably a lot of pressure from folks like us otherwise I'm totally convinced ebay would ignore it. They make money on fees so what do they care. swcoin.ecrater.com

easily but there are too many people interested in coin but not collectors they do minimal research and buy coins at high prices people keep selling over priced coin and others buy so ebay is not compelled to do anything there making a larger percentage |

Concur with rupp16. I didn't become a collector until after stumbling onto this forum (via a google on "junk silver" to add to my stack). I spent way too much on getting my coin education the hard way... being ripped off. I'm thinking there should be a forum category for Newbies like myself to share lessons learned from the problems and pitfalls we've encountered as we seriously got started (obsessed?) collecting.
