Peldini Valued Member Canada 79 Posts	Posted 02/12/2015 6:42 pm I think if you need 2 names on ebay, you are likely up to something. You may use the other account to help run up bids. Report this Post to the Staff

Tons of sellers, including me, have separate seller IDs for different type items. It's called branding. Business 101. Report this Post to the Staff

Too think some sellers don't use multiple accounts to their advantage is well for better words naive Edited by jasper62 02/12/2015 7:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 02/12/2015 7:01 pm The D on the supposed 14-D is WAY out of place. The 3 cent silver is a joke. At least on the disme he's honest about it being a reproduction. I also love how he claims the 14-D is "rb". The saddest thing is the the 14-D currently has 17 bids apparently from 4 bidders. Shame, shame, shame. Report this Post to the Staff

But to lump all of them together and say they're "up to something" is absurd. Report this Post to the Staff
Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 02/12/2015 7:40 pm I understand your frustration PawnS but we see a lot of ebay shenanigans around here. Multiple accounts, bidding and feedback schemes, they run the gamut. Unfortunately there are some unscrupulous scammers that make us wary of dual accounts. The bad apples make all eBayers look bad.

You may use the other account to help run up bids. That is not true. ebay permits multiple accounts. They may be separating their accounts for various reasons. I would certainly recommend it if you are buying and selling on ebay since if a purchase goes bad, some people will try to retaliate against you and do things with your listings and feedback. It has been done to me in the past. You can also get more free listings. I have two seller accounts but one I never use. Report this Post to the Staff
g048406 Pillar of the Community 861 Posts	Posted 02/12/2015 9:51 pm If you look at both accounts most recent bad feedback, they are both on fake 1926-s Buffalo nickels: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1926-S-BUFF...047675.l2557 and http://www.ebay.com/itm/1926-S-5C-B...047675.l2557 Looks like all his coins are either fakes or "reproductions". If he was doing this a year ago, ebay would have NARU'd him, but, those days are gone. Report this Post to the Staff
vanbroj Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 02/12/2015 11:00 pm I am really concerned for the future of our hobby. Some fakes are obvious, but the Chinese are really getting good. I hope we can come up with some practical ideas to protect the hobby so much of us care so deeply about... Report this Post to the Staff
Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 02/13/2015 06:21 am Education is the key to success. Unfortunately many collectors starting off get duped by these crooks and get turned off from the hobby. Report this Post to the Staff

terry8835 Pillar of the Community United States 1450 Posts	Posted 02/18/2015 11:19 am I wonder why ebay allows sellers who have multiple feedback of just not even producing the goods at all. They take the money and no coin follows. I have one seller in mind. My own fault to an extent since I did not read his feedback since he had 5 stars. The very first feedback said the guy stiffed a buyer. Myself, I would not buy a very valuable coin on ebay. You can't even clearly see the coins usually. The difference between EF and AU on a Liberty Walker may only the very minor. The cost differential can be substantial. However, I often find dealers in my area jusy, don't have the older Walkers in EF condition. I am just trying to get my collection together. I want to do like Scrooge McDuck. Throw the coins in the air and let them hit me on the head. Report this Post to the Staff
