Spica are those Chinese 2002 twenty yuan coins readily available over there. That is an exceptional design and the more I look at it the more I want one!! I try each year to buy a few of the Coin of the Year winners but now wish they would start a Classic of the Past contest!

I have tried to locate one on ebay the past few days with no luck. I am also very attracted to the fact it is a 2002 which is my youngest son's birth year. As for the price, I can live with that, but need to locate a way to buy it. Thank you for the information.

Thank you spica!! Looks like my little guy will have one coming to America. It is kind of funny as I just bought the 1997 Chinese Unicorn from this very same seller a couple of days ago and did not know the 20 Yuan was there. Thanks again and hope I can be of service to you some day.

Terry you live a dangerous live buying in china  For 3 years now I have stuck to my no buying outside euro rule I can drive there (and the vendors know it) and several a would be swindler has agreed to price reductions  As I understand it ebay has been ordered out of Switzerland and promptly choose Luxemburg  I got a message a week or two ago that paypal europe is also relocating to Luxemburg . It is nice to know they did not choose Lichtenstein

Well ageka I get my Panda's from here in the states and have traded with a Chinese collector in the past but have only bought one time from a dealer actually in China. Yes, I am well aware of the risks! I will say I have not been burnt one time buying in the Euro zone and have connected with some of the most honest traders a man could ever ask for! Same goes for our Aussie friends!

Sort of, yes - if you are an ebay customer in the EU, you now deal with ebay in Luxembourg. If you are in the US, you deal with ebay in California. All others are still customers of ebay in Switzerland. PayPal Europe "moved" from the UK to Luxembourg four weeks ago, but I suppose the primary aspect was that the company now has a bank license. Hope that also means they will act more responsibly now ... Christian

As you may know one of the german ebay buyers has been convicted of fencing stolen goods because the navigation system he bought in Poland was only a quarter of the official price  Terry On my first buy in the US I was defrauded by a legal alien who did it before under another ebay name I filed with all official sources and only got an email from a local cop who asked me if I had been paid back or not After that he never ever returned any emails nor helped me in any way whatsoever . I wrote to the chamber of commerce and to the governor and to god knows who ; all I got was like 200 euro minus 20 euro internal cost from ebay protection The thief got away with fraud for 500 euro because as a european I had no access to small claims court .Only a Texan who went to court got half of what he was awarded . I even emailed to his boss who said that if the theft was not committed on a company computer on company time they did not care Like they say on investment forums as a joke That was a religious experience

Christian I send in two spoofs this week and as always the replies from ebay I get come from Holland All the complaints I sent in were allways handled in Holland When I was defrauded they asked me hardcopies of all police reports and emails and that was handled by ebay Germany So Luxemburg is only the headquarters if you are sick enough to try and sue them in court

Ageka I guess many of us have been lucky with the ebay gamble. I have found there are a tremendous amount of good, honest people left in the world even though the media would like to tell us differently. None the less there are tons of frauds lying in the bushes just waiting for prey to walk by so the trick is to avoid those bushes?

ageka you are very similar to me in many ways. Learning to read between the lines is a trait many never master while others see more between the lines than those written. Everyday we gamble whether we like it or not. As they say over here, "Some days you get the bear and some days the bear gets you"! The trick is to learn before you meet the bear?
