Enwarb I am just using my experience with getting emails from japan and china when I buy samurai swords. They always have the same sort of wording in the answer. As for unwelcome profanity there is no place for that on this site and I totally agree with you on that. Although I do use profane words at work with my colleagues, I never use them around wimmin or kids. This is a family site and should be respected as such  |

Whilst it is easy to make that conclusion trout I am appalled by some of the crap young people write. Whilst I'm far from an expert writer some have no grasp of the English language what so ever. It could just be a young seller who is either dumb, ignorant and/or a plain and simple "insert profanity of your choosing". I agree with trout here, his favour of infinitives and lack of particles indicates that he has learned English but has had very little practice with it. With an exception of his attempt to form 'weighed', there is very little evidence of practical experience with the English language. If he was just a dumb or ignorant English speaker, he would be using conjugated verbs. |

Definitely the most likely scenario but was thinking it may just be a kid. Maybe they fit into both categories.

This seller is a creep  http://feedback.ebay.com.au/ws/eBay...negative_365He tried to sell a fake 1925 Penny using a genuine photo. Luckily the buyer caught him out and got a refund through paypal. I also agree that this seller doesn't use English as his first language. I suspect that he is located overseas. |

I saw that listing, he had the image of a fake up first then changed it. |

So what has happened to ebay's new policy of not allowing fakes to be sold? I'm still seeing tons of dodgy coins on offer. I agree with Trout about the sellers poor understanding of English (and that the seller is probably east asian). Another suspicious 1925 on ebay (with the seller in China)> Item number 251010831277. Amazing that after 5 bids that it has only reached under $11 (and those bids are anon- a sign of shill bidding). As it appears to be the MQN variety it should have bids over $100 very quickly. |
