This has got to be to good to be true right? I bought 1 but haven't paid for it yet but I am thinking about taking the risk. What do you think?

Oh my lord... you actually bought one?

Every morning I pray I will never have to say I know someone that bought one of these sent money to China to finance the counterfeits and you ruined it.

If there is something wrong with the deal, please try to open a case in Paypal, because we will add all the tracking numbers in Paypal. If you open a case on ebay we will not send the item to you.




I guess they also make their own rules as well as coins

Theres no doubt this is fake. They also have free shipping from VA listed but when you read the description it says you have to pay 25 dollars for air mail and it usually takes 1 month to get to you.

If you open a case in PayPal and supply a tracking number PayPal will close in the seller's favor. On ebay, it'll more likely close in the buyer's favor.

And if I'm not mistaken, PayPal and ebay have changed it so that you *can't* open up a dispute in PayPal if it's an ebay transaction, only with ebay, no?

There will always be people trying ebay scams. That is why feedback is so important. I personally refrain from buying anything from outside US or Canada unless it is some trinklet worth 99 cents or something.

There's plenty of doubt it's fake. It's non-existent.

Images are stolen from the big auction houses. You will get nothing. These pop-up every week. It's been the same group/person in China for years. I know because when a brand new one pops up my 35 or so IDs are already blocked.

They're already reported.

Considering they use the exact same description every time cant ebay just run a code to block anything that has that exact description? At least make them take the time to rewrite it. Id still love to know how an item in VA from a "us coin collector" takes a month to get shipped in the US.

Like I said, they're in China, not VA. I've tricked them into coming to my website to see where they're from.

Note: They're not shipping these anyway, that bit is likely just copied from other listings where they actually ship counterfeits.

Yea I know there in China I would just love to hear their explanation for it to try and keep their cover.

Maybe a tip to the chinese government theyre accessing unfiltered websites would put an end to the listings

Is this about another one of those CC Morgan dollar for about 49 bucks?
If yes, this guy (or a group) has been doing this for awhile.
I reported four of them this morning.
Seller running this almost everday in the morning time.

Set your ebay setting to 'BIN' and 'Newly listed' and put 'CC' on the search to find them.
It would take us the community to report the listing(s).

Here are the four that I reported this morning:
170908181309
290773066220
290773075842
180971240093
