NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17878 Posts	Posted 04/14/2021 05:58 am Quite a few of us have posted examples of fakes, wrongly described or grossly overpriced coins on ebay, with links to the items and often a screenshot of the page from ebay including the seller's name. Several of us have also posted lists of our blocked buyers. There was quite a long topic last year regarding a guy in Canada who was ripping people off on ebay, and his username and other details were posted on this site. So, it has certainly happened before, but you may want to check with one of the moderators just in case. All of us want to protect other Forum members from scams!

It is best to use only factual information with "In my opinion" and "In my experience" and words to that effect when stating your feelings on why this seller should be avoided. We want to avoid any legal problems but we feel this section could be invaluable in protecting our members.

Gainn Valued Member United Kingdom 218 Posts	Posted 05/17/2021 5:47 pm It would seem that ebay is getting worse for fakes and bad sellers in general. I've just today had someone making threatening comments because I gave them bad feedback on an order they cancelled because it 'sold for less than they were hoping' (their words).

jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4691 Posts	Posted 05/17/2021 6:23 pm The seller states it is PCGS MS65 with CAC. This one should probably be reported. Be sure to bid on his other rare Lincoln Cent. https://www.ebay.com/itm/194132726597 Edited by jimbucks 05/17/2021 6:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
