shadowtrooper78 Pillar of the Community United States 1370 Posts	Posted 05/13/2020 2:29 pm I have quite a few old PCI holders, green labels 10 digit serial numbers and are considered to be accurately if not conservatively graded based upon todays standards. I tried listing 4 and they were promptly removed due to violating ebay policy. The pictures showed the slab and the grade. Any recommendations as to how I can accurately list the item and keep ebay happy at the same time? Report this Post to the Staff

(unless things have changed) PCI is not one of the 4 grading companies that ebay recognizes as accurately grading items. Stating your coin is uncirculated is okay, but you can't say it's ms60 (or higher). I wouldn't even state pci as it might raise a flag with ebay. Report this Post to the Staff
shadowtrooper78 Pillar of the Community United States 1370 Posts	Posted 05/13/2020 2:42 pm @ratman4762 I listed them as unc's uncertified however had a picture of the slab with the numberical grade listed. I am thinking that is what kicked me out. I thought about editing out the second digit of the grade, however I've seen items like this listed and I automatically dismiss them.

nss-52 Moderator United States 54280 Posts	Posted 05/13/2020 2:45 pm Here's a quote of the current policy: "Must not include a non-approved grading company, numeric grade or estimated value anywhere in the listing and can't show an image of the item in a graded holder if the image shows a grade" You cover up the parts that are not allowed, and you CAN state the coin is EF, AU, etc. just no number.

ratman4762 Pillar of the Community United States 2520 Posts	Posted 05/13/2020 2:53 pm Looks like they've changed the policy. At one time you could show picture of graded slab, just not mention it in listing. I know they are always changing policies, but it makes you wonder why some people get away with selling the same thing they wont let you list.......... Report this Post to the Staff

matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 05/13/2020 6:25 pm What if shadowtrooper78 shows the slab but NOT the grade? Then waits until a potential buyer asks? Would this raise a flag? Report this Post to the Staff
