Welcome, AthenaWho.
Normally I don't care about these outrageous listings, but this one rubs me the wrong way. And I certainly can blame a guy for being a jackwagon for a preposterous listing like this.
Quote:The
ebay marketplace for coin collecting is vibrant. Buyers and sellers alike enjoy access to both a great selection and a highly engaged community. Customers within the Coins & Paper Money category have told us that the ability to shop and sell confidently on
ebay is an important factor for them.
Based on this feedback, and after closely reviewing the coin experience on
ebay, we have decided to update
ebay's Stamps, currency, and coins policy to disallow replica coin listings on
ebay.com, effective February 20. Any replica coin listings on
ebay on February 20 will be allowed to end normally.
This update reflects standards across the coin industry and helps ensure compliance with applicable laws that require replica coins to be permanently marked with the word "copy." We also expect that this update will increase marketplace confidence by letting our community know that coin listings on
ebay are authentic, so they'll receive the most positive
ebay experience possible.
As always, thank you for selling on
ebay.
Sincerely,
The
ebay Seller Team
Perhaps this is a first step towards doing away with some of these insane listings. One can hope. Of course, that would simultaneously eliminate about 25% of the threads here in CCF...
Or maybe they'll charge a fee for very large opening bids.
Whatever. I know, I know...no one's forcing anyone to buy... but IMO this is far worse than even the HSN coin nonsense that everyone gripes about.
Sorry, end of rant. Done and bed time.
