They do have the ebay Buyer Protection, so I don't know if that will cover false advertising or not. The seller did say that the item is not returnable. |

I actually got a response from the seller when I asked him about it being a 2009 Presidential dollar and he replied stating it was an 1845. I should sell him a roll at half his sell price a piece. |

For some reason, my question didn't post on the auction, but was sent to him. I thought you could post a public question? You can, if it's your listing. Otherwise, no. |

That just makes me mad. The $5 for shipping just adds to it. It just makes all ebay coin sellers look bad. That's why I only buy from established people on ebay. It doesn't eliminate the shysters, but it sure helps. I find the best thing is to remember the good sellers and do business with them again. Edited by Rewster

Yeah! They responded: Me: Quote:
Message: This seller has the composition listed as gold and this is not correct - it is a modern dollar coin whose composition is 88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese, 2% nickel. Additionally, the year minted is listed as 1836 when in truth the coin was released in 2009. Just got this back: Quote:Thanks for reporting this listing to us. I sent your report to our Coin Community Watch group for their review and they agreed with your assessment. As a result, I removed the listing. Again, thank you for your report.

I just hope they give some penalty to the seller, for doing something that bad. Otherwise, they'll just do it again with something else.

Glad to see that it was caught before someone got ripped off. Out of curiosity does anyone know if it was a new seller or someone that has been running scams like this a lot?

Ok, so my next question is how does one get *on* the Coin Community Watch? You're in ... anyone is in. All you have to do is surf ebay and if something is blatantly off the wall, post your concern in this forum topic I would think. I wonder if it is OK to post the seller name of the questionable listing though. I think they do deserve to be tarred and feathered  in some public place, but I don't know for sure if it is OK here in CCF. I've seen plenty posted but don't recall anyone objecting.
