Sure he violating a policy, you surely didn't need to quote it to me. But who cares? Be petty and report it, I've got much bigger fish to fry than pick on this guy for being lazy while not deceiving a soul. Ridiculous, big waste of time.

I'll worry about getting counterfeits taken down while you people quote scripture over this.

This listing seller is, lazy-(perhaps), trying to pull a fast one with someone-(perhaps).

I just started buying off ebay last week and we all know there can be some listings that have a lack of truth element in them. If I make a purchase, I want the value for the dollars spent at the outcome of the transaction.

Let's face it, there are some folks who will buy something based on what they see, too trusting maybe in their own right, thinking maybe the seller has made a mistake in the add, or maybe even unable to read english.

Weather it's a 2 dollar purchase or a 1000.00 dollar purchase, point being, it's still a purchase that could sway someone to buy what they really don't want. Hence my previous post.

Personally I feel if someone is selling something then be specific to the sale with no miss-direction, that way both seller and buyer are on the same page.

Accuracy in an online listing is very important to Buyers. That's why the ebay policy is in place. It clears up misunderstandings before they happen.

Accuracy includes wording and pictures that convey to the Buyer exactly what they will be receiving. If the picture does not match the wording then it is deceptive. "One picture is worth a thousand words". Plain and simple.

It may be "petty", but "it is what it is" and most people do care.

Anyone that looks at that listing and thinks they're getting what's in the picture it a complete idiot. The title and the description completely contradict it. It's crystal clear, that's not what you're getting.

I disagree to a point, there has been a few times I log on to ebay and start browsing and notice a really good deal on a buy it now so I react quickly before someone buys it before me, for example a while ago I saw a certain coin as a buy it now for $6 and I knew if I read the description it would be bought before I had the chance to buy it, so I took the chance by buying from the picture alone and after I bought the item I read the fine print (desc. shipping etc..) I recently sold this coin on ebay for $1100. so I ask does this make me an idiot? cause if it does I am one happy idiot

I'm not buying one word of that story. Not even a little bit, way too convenient for the topic.

I think clearly much is being made of nothing.

To think this is some nefarious scheme that deserves this type of uproar is foolish.

I think it is abundantly clear that needs to worried about is the influx of dangerous counterfeits, rather than much ado about nothing.

That basically goes against the old adage, "Look, before you leap" (a quote modified over time from Samuel Butler).

To each their own, I rather have a bunch of these guys on ebay, than the made-in-China products that are ending up in Canada.

"Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J. Robert Oppenheimer

So you're telling me you studied blurry pictures, but never even looked at the title or the description? I still call hogwash.

If you dig far enough back in his feedback you can find a negative and also a back-handed positive where the comment reads something to the effect of "didn't get what was advertised but rec'd extra coins to make up for it."

I agree that you'd have to be pretty inattentive or sloppy in your approach to bidding to bid on/buy this lot thinking you were getting old, silver US coins. However, giving him a total pass because there are worse on-line coin problems is sort of like condoning shop lifting in the underwear aisle at Walmart (or the junk silver drawer of your LCS) because you're focusing 100% of your attention and efforts on ferreting out society's crazies before they can hurt innocent people.

Maybe he doesn't have an evil or deceptive bone in his body and is just living in ignorant bliss, but wrong is wrong. Perhaps if someone politely told him of his misstep he would feel bad and never do it again...?
