Yeah, its an 'S'. btw, you're not allowed to claim the coin has a certain value like you did in your description. You said its worth "$50 in the Red Book". That's against ebay rules. I got in trouble for that when I first started selling and I didn't know. Your description also somewhat shamelessly implies the vinegar dated coin (which you did accurately disclose in the auction) might be worth more than the $50 because of the "full date". We both know that's not true. I'm not sure if I've made a claim like that, but I do understand trying to put your coin in the best light possible. Honestly I'd value this coin at about $4. So with a $2.50 shipping you might only get very low bidding |

Is there and S/D for that year? You don't have to end the listing ... just edit it. I can clearly see an S. but it looks like it may be an RPM.

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. |

I don't think you can revise the entire listing when people start bidding. I would just let it ride at this point, it doesn't seem like a flagrant violation to me.

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. Edited by hesgut

Checking his listing just now it seems honest enough, moreso than 90% of other sellers on ebay who state "we do not grade coins judge by the photo's" or "as found" when they know darn well that the coin is cleaned or altered. |

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. |
