Some ways are more subtle and been tried on me for the third time now
You are highest bidder on a fantastic coin that goes for less then expected
All your requests for a total amount including shipping and a bankaccount to transfer the money to are unanswered
Seller disappears from the face of the earth
This one even did not leave a telephone number for privacy reasons
( but webcrawlers found him nonetheless )
Since this is the third time I was fed up and contacted ebay twice
Their latest pearl of wisdom is to contact the seller and if that fails to annulated the purchase officially so that they can evaluate what to do if I get a non paying buyer evaluation
Fat chance
A contract is a contract even if the seller pays his ebay dues I want my coin

I imagine this is a pirated image rather than a fake coin. Is that the wway these normally work?

All the images I looked at appeared to be taken from (actually hotlinked from):

http://www.ebwcoin.com

Right click on the Chinese seller's images in the ebay auctions and click Properties to see the web urls.

I am very familiar with the ebay seller id affiliated with ebwcoins. The ID is ernie and he is a major power seller on ebay with almost 10,000 fb. I emailed him with the link to this seller's auctions. I'm sure that this particular seller will be shut down but only because Ernie will request it. The fact remains that ebay is just a big cess pool.
Rest in Peace

Yep. Unfortunately, The seller got off about 3000 euro worth of sales already from the auctions that ended normally. Hopefully, the buyers will realize something is fishy before they send any money.

The Seller has a 33%, (-1) feedback score! The item sold for $120.
China is Famous for Fakes. I learnt from buying some " Trade dollars" on ebay, not from China but from a Chinese guy. It's amazing how they always have the hard to get dates [:p]

No. As far as I know, he's a good guy. I think he might have been the one that was selling some lots that didn't go over well for a while (or I might be mistaken, it might have been someone else), but his single coins look okay to me. I've never purchased anything from him, though.
