I know when one finds a counterfeit coin on e-bay the faithful here get all up in arms and thump their chests in righteous indignation. But it seems that e-bay has a lot more to worry about than a few Chinese fakes... http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-29310042

100 listings? Doesn't sound like the sky is falling....yet. Anybody know how many listings ebay averages at any given point in time? |

There are so many fakes around now that I think the US government may as well just have China do all our coins.

I don't know about you guys, but the idea that ebay allows one to write Javascript into an auction listing is about the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Since ebay deep-sixed their counterfeit coin people, that is. |

It's been two years since I either bought or sold a coin on ebay. |

I have to admit that I bought an obvious fake from ebay. I even e-mailed the seller to let him know that it was a fake. I probably paid a little to much for it but I wanted it anyway. |

I have been a member of ebay since 2000, I have never had a problem with counterfeit coins or been scammed. It always surprises me when someone says they have had an issue, thats to bad. |

What I love about ebay most are the ridiculous prices was looking for a price comparison of an older german silver coin and there was an about VG offered as RARE RARE RARE and US$129 while a VF one was offered at US$30 |

Am awaiting both the thick/thin 1925 Viking medals (recently purchased) to see what my local coin store has to tell me about them - (at least returns are accepted for them as well).
