This seller with less than 25 feedbacks is selling some high-end Seated and Morgan dollars on one-day auctions. The coins in the photos appear genuine ... almost too perfect. If you review his/her feedback, all the buyers/sellers customers are "Chinese/Asian" and the transactions are "private". The return policy is OK as is the shipping cost.

No savvy seller would put these pieces up on a one-day auction. I fear some folks are about to be disappointed. Or this could be the sale of the century! I am leaning towards the former.

Now all the listings are gone. Either the seller or ebay removed the listings. I'll keep an eye out for this seller in the future.

"I'll keep an eye out for this seller in the future."

I would bet this seller is already selling under another dormant ID with padded feedback. They have a new ID for everyday of the week...too bad Meg sacrificed her first born to the shareholders (which is her fiduciary responsibility) rather than evolving her business model.

Does ebay have IP ban capabilities?

Yes, but all you need to avoid their bots is an onion router or any readily available IP mask.
