Tryna Pillar of the Community United States 937 Posts	Posted 08/24/2015 3:37 pm Not sure if this a reportable thing as it looks like a gift shop piece. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Continental...ht_120wt_900 Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 08/24/2015 3:46 pm Reportable, yes. The seller's record supports his assertion that he's no expert, and I'm of the opinion that he's not even aware of the seriousness of the issue. Wish there were an official channel to address the issue politely, but there aren't really any official channels at all at ebay these days. Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 08/24/2015 3:46 pm Looking at the other items they are selling I doubt they know these are reproductions. I notified them directly and maybe they will pull them (they have 2 listed). Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5406 Posts	Posted 08/24/2015 4:06 pm Sure it is reportable just did . Ignorance is no excuse it is a violation of the Hobby Protection Act. Edited by Pacificoin 08/24/2015 4:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Nor is it an excuse to call someone as much when maybe a polite tap on the shoulder with a plausible explanation would have sufficed. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 08/24/2015 5:56 pm I think folks forget at times that ebay has to balance the opinions of someone reporting an item (which may or may not be accurate) vs. the economic and potential legal liability associated with suspending or delisting an item on suspicion of a listing violation, especially with larger (i.e. very profitable) seller accounts.

Apparently we now live in a world where conflict is the default reaction to any stimulus. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 08/25/2015 11:41 am Followed the link and it is gone, but ebay gives their list of "Items found similar to Continental Currency 1776 Coin Pewter Appearence Estate Find" and there are three more fakes on the first page of listings (There are a few more but those are identified as reproductions.). One with no bids, one with bids of $52, and one with bids of $70. Report this Post to the Staff
