1915-S Buffalo Nickel S Or D Poll!

Looks like an 'S' to me.

No it isn't

I understand you're new to ebay selling, I was making mistakes like this too when I started. You "added" information to your listing. You need to "revise" your entire listing.

Now you have the questionable item description as well as a second changed description. The whole thing looks pretty bad and is still technically in violation of the rules.

btw, I personally believe you should be allowed to suggest item values, and was upset when I had some of my listings pulled for doing so way back when. Still though, it's a violation, so they say.

Yeah, you're right, I didn't see there were bids already. My my, this guy is exceeding my expectations. Like I said it certainly isn't a flagrant violation or one at all in my personal opinion.

However, when I started selling and I didn't know the rules. I did this and I had the violating auctions pulled off the site and I got an email telling me if I continue my account would suffer sanctions, leading up to suspension. I suffered no immediate consequences other than having to completely relist the deleted auctions, but ebay does take it seriously

I doubt ebay would notice though, some loser would have to personally report you like they probably did with me. There's only so many folk that feel righteous and obligated enough to report every violation, even if its mundane.

That wasn't the issue. The seller is attempting to be completely honest, we don't doubt that. The problem was that the original listing contains references to the coin having a certain numerical value. That's against the rules and something I got "punished" for when I first started selling.

sorry to hear it...that one was bidding pretty well in my opinion given what it was. The same exact thing happened to me. The problem was that someone had already placed a bid by the time you were informed of the problem and thus couldn't revise it. You were stuck with a violating listing without the possibility to remove it.

I'm still surprised somebody actually had the nerve to report it. Same people as those who tattle-tailed in grade school I suppose. Back when I made the same mistake I put values in all my listings because I thought it helped and I didn't know the rules. My very first batch was about 8 coins. I think 3 got pulled and the others didn't. This was accompanied with a slightly angry message from ebay which you probably just got.

I'm really sorry to hear Rachmus and hesgut that someone reported you for something so silly. It's a waste of time when thousands of dollars in counterfeit coins are being sold on ebay to the unaware.

Rachmus, your new listing looks just like the other one.... Wouldn't you want to change whatever it was that was causing the violation?

Second listing is already gone. I hope you were able to pull it before ebay did.

I totally agree with you how outrageous the reporting has been.

to the new listing...yay, this one looks good to me.

I am actually surprised that you were not "punished". From eBays point of view, you just committed a repeat violation and demonstrated disregard for their rules, all while being a new seller with no track record. You might have gotten lucky.

Then again that company is so stupid and unorganized I'm not surprised either. One of my accounts just sold several items. The payments came in and not all, just some of them, had my funds restricted. My account is in perfect order with no cases against me. I talked to customer service and after two people and 20 minutes, the conclusion was, "yeah, we don't really know why this has happened, everything looks good to me."

I use them and make money over there but god I hate that company.
