jsb Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 02/12/2025 11:58 am ebay apparenly thinks that my Reporting Fake/Copy/Fraudulent coin listings is a proglem. has anyone else receive this hate email from ebay ? We've noticed a pattern of unfounded reports from you. Please see our emails following up to your previous reports for examples. What this means for your account: We know this might have been an honest mistake. As of now, there is no impact to your ability to submit reports.

Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5124 Posts	Posted 02/12/2025 12:07 pm ebay simply does not give a darn . I have reported numerous counterfeit items and you always get blown off . Total waste of precious time . Treat ebay as Caveat Emptor from now on. If naive buyers think Santa Claus exists in the Coin World good luck . ebay just wants feeeeees! .

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7453 Posts	Posted 02/12/2025 12:17 pm I've submitted a few and they haven't "threatened" me yet. I'd say about 50% of what I've reported gets pulled. So, they either aggregate multiple reports from ebay users to make their decisions or somebody on the "outside" knows somebody else inside ebay and can get them pulled that way. Tough to describe the "problem" with the coin as to WHY it's a counterfeit/replica when ebay limits you to 80 characters to describe it. Also no way to submit pictures. They want our help, but on their terms. ebay is a funny place. Report this Post to the Staff
NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 16076 Posts	Posted 02/12/2025 1:12 pm I must have reported about ten items (forgeries and ungraded currency priced over $2500) and only one has been removed. I'm now worried about reporting any more, after what's happened to jsb! My Trade List: http://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: http://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff
jsb Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 02/12/2025 1:21 pm I reported about 20 items, about 8 were removed, then I saw this email so I contacted ebay support and they basically told me to contact them in the future and they will "handle" it whatever that means. Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10786 Posts	Posted 02/12/2025 5:12 pm I probably report one coin a month on average. Most of the time they are removed. When they're not it's often in the last 24 hours of the auction and I just don't think they get to it. I only report listings that I am 100% sure the coin is counterfeit.

Goldflake Pillar of the Community United States 697 Posts	Posted 02/13/2025 03:55 am In the last few years, I've been contacted many times with the ebay message. I've called out many counterfeits especially Perth Mint and Pamp gold bars. I've worked with Perth and Pamp many years off and on. I know Gold. I just wait awhile and start calling them out again. ebay can threaten me all they want. When I tire of seeing counterfeits, especially 1 oz. gold bars, I'll put a last second bid of $3,500+. I'll take the hit to save someone there cash. I never pay the corrupt seller. Then, apx. 5 days later I shoot the counterfeiter a negative feedback. I could go on and on with my call-outs, just don't have the time. Thanks, Goldflake Report this Post to the Staff
