Think of it like your birthdays. Your first year of life ends just before your first birthday. On your first birthday, you enter your second year of life. I am 42, but living in my 43rd year of life; I have lived 42 complete years, but part of 43. The ASE is 25 years old, but the 2011 issues are the 26th. It really depends on where you start counting, from zero or one.  |

Last year the Minnesota Vikings had a patch celebrating their 25th anniversary 1886-2010(which was their 25th season). Uh, the Vikings were formed in 1960.  |

Sorry the Vikings patch was 1961-2010 celebrating their 50th anniversary.

It's this kind of "special treatment" BS that has gotten people so fed up with ebay. I know a lot of this started for ebay as a way to help protect their legit users and prevent scammers, but I think they've gone overboard. I miss the old, sweet, virginal ebay of the '90s. |

Does your feedback numbers and score have anything to do with pulling "presale" items? Would it help if you have been around awhile and have a good enough score (100%)?
I guess I'll find out when I get home. I list one last night, and it was around 300 bucks last time I checked on it. I have four of the five listed, and let the public decide what they are worth, with the proceeds going toward my 7070.

Report as many other sellers as you can and ask for an explanation. Simple.
The Anniversary thing...think of wedding as well. Do you celebrate your first anniversary theday you get married? Nope. You celebrate it AFTER the first year has already passed. You got married in 1990, yet you celebrate the Anniversary in 1991 and so on.

Anyone notice how all the auctions that are still up have the sentence...I have a confirmation number. I wonder if ebay is making them provide the number? Or if it says that then they are allowing it to stay up? |

Would it help if you have been around awhile and have a good enough score (100%)? i have been an ebay member since 2003 and have 100%feedback with 97 feedbacks. I have had 1 negative and I got that as a buyer for not paying for an item that I bought on accident. In those days if you hit buy it now it went through not are you sure. I emailed the seller and told him I did it by accident but he was not hearing it and gave me a negative. the only thing I can think I done wrong was guarentee I would ship by 30 days. but I feel I was reported |

I saw a LOT of pulled auctions yesterday, and, a LOT still up...I could NOT understand what was going on...they all used the same MINT pic of the set, nothing was unique at all...
I was about to pre-sell my set of 4, but, decided to backoff until coins in hand now...wonder if worth the expense of slabbing "First Strike"(PCGS), or, "Early Release"(NGC), or, just sell in un-opened box...or, just stash em for now...

There's no reason to try to pick this apart. The email the OP received was very clear. They are making an exception to the rule for this specific item. Quite frankly I don't blame them, this is a very desirable, high dollar item, that won't ship for 30 days. It's a scammer's dream and they are trying to thwart it from the git-go. ebay gets it from both ends... we have people that think they don't care about scammers because they make money from them, then they do something proactive like this and they're the bad guy too.  |

I think the biggest complaint is inconsistency. They pulled a bunch of auctions, but there are still hundreds up. Pull all or none. I think pulling all would be reasonable, but it isn't reasonable to pull some and not others.

They don't have a magic button to nuke all auctions -- they have to look at each one individually and there were likely thousands listed at once with more being added as we speak. The big question is what will be done about the Buy It Now auctions that have already completed. |

Most of the auctions I saw yesterday lasted only a couple hours. Makes me think these listers knew there was a high risk of being pulled and configured their auction to sell before they got caught.
