China Replicas Of Canadian Coins

Evil prospers when good men and women do nothing! Thanx Mike.

Wow, thats good news. Why doesn't the Chinese Government do something about the exporting of such material.
I mean, they want to play in the world market, but seem very selective what rules they want to abide by. (Don't get me going on the Tibet thing either).
Thumbs up to the individual that got those listings quashed, is ebay going to police it on a continious basis?
On another note, I saw numerious china replica listings today, associated with U.S coins. Whats their position on that?

Quite honestly, allowing listings from China is much more trouble than its worth. I won't buy nothing from them, I don;t care if they are replica coins, or a brand new pair of chopsticks. If you every pay for something, and it doesn't arrive, what kind of hassles will you have?

They're gone.Great news and a milestone for this hobby.Mikeymar has shown that one determined collector can make a difference.

On the positive side on buying stuff from China.

I have purchased numerous items (electronic goods) from China on ebay and the prices are incredibly cheap, items are of reasonable quality and the shipping was free. I could not figure out how they made money on these items considering the total cost of my purchase was more than typical international shipping rates. I suspect they had some deal with the Hong Kong postal authority where unoccupied shipping space on the aircraft was sold cheaply. The shipping was longer than airmail, but much shorter than surface mail (about 2 weeks).

I agree on the whole that counterfit items and potentially dangerous items should be banned outright, but the Chinese are entitled to earn a living like everyone else. If you don't like Chinese goods, boycott Walmart, Canada Tire, and all other major retail outlets. 95% of the stuff they sell comes from China. I like good bargains.
