valdiman Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 575 Posts	Posted 09/02/2012 1:30 pm I was trying to list mystery coin on ebay last week.Here is why I couldn't: You are not permitted to offer shipping to Germany (this includes worldwide or EU) for this item. Please revise your listing to domestic-only or other non-Germany shipping options. If you think this coin got something to do with Nazis,you are absolutely wrong.Mystery coin is Iraq 10 fils 1933.Is this normal?Why I couldn't list this coin? Report this Post to the Staff

basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 09/02/2012 3:33 pm My two guesses would be that either you have to sell a certain amount to ship internationally or Germany doesn't want those types of coins coming in the country Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 09/02/2012 4:37 pm I am guessing it would have to be some type of law against shipping those types of coins to Germany for ebay to make this a policy. I don't see any other reason why they would make a decision so specific like this Report this Post to the Staff

Those were the only two things I could think of for why that would be happening unless its a glitch since its not like Germany is a country no one ships to North Korea Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 09/02/2012 4:52 pm If you're calling it a "mystery coin," chances are Germany's rules prohibit it because there's a possibility it would be a Nazi coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16834 Posts	Posted 09/02/2012 6:46 pm "Mystery items", in the sense of "I'm putting a coin in a brown paper bag so you can't see it - bid on it and you never know what you might get!" are prohibited on ebay. I know this is different to selling a "mystery coin" in the sense of "I don't know what this coin is or where it came from but I'm showing you clear pictures of it so maybe you know what it is", but something may have gotten lost in translation on the German end. One final thing... if you know it's an Iraq 10 fils 1933, what's "mysterious" about it? Why not just describe it as "Iraq 10 fils 1933" rather than "mystery coin"? Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
