All of this seller's coin listings are for uncertified coins, but have an estimate of value (in the photos), which is a coin selling policy violation.

First let me agree, the 09s VDB looks bad... but

He isn't violating anything here with regards to the price in the picture as these are not estimates but rather his lowest asking price. If they were different than what his opening bid was on each item I'd agree with you but that isn't the case.

Either way the 09s VDB should be removed.

The "raw coins" policy states (quote) "No estimate of value (even if personal opinion) or reference to a price guide is included in the title or description."

http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies...rstamps.html

I am not aware of an exception for "lowest asking price". It does not say the estimate must be more than the asking price for it to be a policy violation.

There might be a question of whether photos are considered part of the description, though. I would be surprised if an argument could be made that photos are not part of the description.

It would be nice if the ebay contact could clarify this issue.

@srs77, many of the prices listed on the 2x2 are HIGHER than their "lowest asking price". Their current and sold items contain more items with the price on the holder is higher than the asking or sold price.

nss-52, you're assuming it's an estimate. This is where we differ. I don't know what he means by his stated price in the coin picture. It does match his lowest 'bid' amount. So in my opinion it's no different than what his asking price is on the auction itself.
