Unfortunately, we no longer have the back-door direct-access-to-a-human at ebay that we used to have - because ebay sacked the human and didn't replace them.

They replaced the human with AI which now says that
nearly every coin meets there standards, counterfeit or not.

Can someone with the connections please get these listings of fake gold maples pulled.
People are bidding $3000+
PLEASE SAVE THEM

Should be obvious. 1oz GML are $50 face value. These are listed and shown ( image) as 1oz $5. I feel sorry for the 1 bidder on one of them.

The only thing that forced ebay's hand is lawsuit. And that took 8 years.

Surely coins can have something similar like this

Apparently one lucky (or unlucky) buyer gave this upstanding seller some Neutral feedback AFTER buying one of these outstanding gold coins!

I purchased your 5 dollar 2021 gold maple leaf coin 1 oz gold. Question: why is this listed as a 5 dollar coin and not a 50 dollar coin like all the others.?
2021 5 Dollar Canadian Maple Leaf 1 Ounce Fine Gold .9999 Sealed #65532; (#306521586013)


Looks like this seller has a hoard of 2021 $5 one ounce gold coins!

ebay does not care that counterfeits or replicas are sold on their site. The policy prohibiting such things is ignored. The link to "report this listing" has been removed! You have to know to use the "?" or "..." to find a place to report. I don't use it. I don't report anything. It is too frustrating to be told that an admitted counterfeit is not a policy violation.

The 2021 - 5 dollar gold maple is 1/10 oz.
The 2021 - 20 dollar gold maple is 1/2 oz.
The 2021 - 50 dollar gold maple is 1 oz.
