1856 Flying Eagle On Ebay?

Normic, there is zero chance he actually has this coin.

"If he doesn't have it then why is he selling it."

Exactly! He is trying to take the bidder's money!

I reported it both ways with the Stacks Bowers information you found to both ebay and Stack's Bowers.

I love the fact that scammers don't seem to understand that the barcode is just another "font" and can be read with a simple app.

I'm glad you found the real auction information so I could include it on both reports.

I hate these 1-item-scammers trying to get people to bid on something that they couldn't possibly have and start it at 99 cents. Also, I can't understand why anyone would bid on THAT ebay auction!

Unfortunately ebay doesn't always respond until it's overwhelming.

"This listing (141652946292) has been removed, or this item is not available."

I had someone sell me a laptop. It was parts and pieces, had an illegal copy of the OS, memory was understated, basically, scrap. I had to pay to prove it wasn't legit. Then I shipped back UPS with signature.

They refunded what he didn't take - in other words what was left in the bank account - and marked it closed. I called for years. I complained that he had three accounts. They said "we can't disclose private information, but we will get back to you" Never once even an email.

Short end. Case disappeared from my account, and I'm out$165. He got the computer back.

The new hold funds, solves this problem, maybe. Unless I'm a seller and get a false complaint?

I will say, I've been working, using PayPal and ebay from the early days and they do have good qualities and I've had very few problems. But one instance like the above, means there are thousands of instances like the above. They stonewalled and deny, and hope the claimant will just give up.

No Teeth, frauds just come back with a new account and do the same again, running off with someones money.

I was pleased to see the people here reporting the fakes and frauds, over and over, because without that, the crooks would win.

In the last three days we've had a number of bad items pulled off ebay simply because a number of us reported them. Sometimes within hours of them being posted.

ebay does care if we care. Really.

Nice work, you guys!

You can go back two or three months on this forum and just about every single fake reported here has been removed.
