My questions: 1) Was this traffic ever suppressed? 2) To what degree were these purged from the marketplace, or do they remain a problem? Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

For a time ebay would remove any sales with fake coins in them, but they aren't as active in doing that much any more so some fakes to slip by. Report this Post to the Staff
