New Ebay rule violation or not?

[jesbroken]

Hello, all. Would this be a rules violation on Ebay in regards to sellers inability to give an MS grade to coins in the title bar?

PS-by the way what have I done wrong adding the URL? I did it using the "create a link to webpage" button but it printed the address rather than just the site name. My goof I guess.

I'd say yes, but he's not the only one. I see listing's all the time that violate their policy.

Well at least me use an actual photo and not a file photo!!

It's been removed so I guess it was in violation.

This powerseller must be above the law since I reported him last week and the auctions remain

Anyone else want to complain to the powers that might be?

[jesbroken]

For what it is worth-I filed another complaint of 10 violations plus many more. All auction #'s were listed in the complaint so even their smartest people may be able to find them.

Some are obeying it and some are not. A few have even stated that they can no longer certify them.

The problem, letting this seller get away with stating a (supposed) grade in the title, is compounded by the fact that his return policy excludes differences of opinion where the grade is concerned.

So, I took a quick look at his auction list, and unless some were removed, I am trying to figure out the problem.....

 

He says "AU" or "BU" in the title (that's allowed). In the auctions, he states "I grade this a MS67" (or whatever). That's allowed.

I see raw coins and I don't see "precise grades" just grade categories which, to my understanding, is allowed.

 

Is there a removed auction where a title had something like "MS67" in it?

Well by golly, ebay does listen. He has changed all the headings of his auctions. Nearly all of the auctions before stated MS67 or another grade that he made up for the coin. Congrats to all who complained to ebay and forced their hand on this "powerseller" A victory for the hobby methimks

Since terms such as BU and Choice Uncirculated are not a part of the official ANA Grading Standards...all mint state grades are numbers...we don't see how not allowing honest sellers to properly describe coins helps the situation. A coin correctly described as MS-63 gets pulled, but a polished XF called "Gem Uncirculated" is OK.

 

Nor do we understand the delight that some take in getting an auction pulled if both sides of the slab are not shown, even though the serial numbers and pertinent info are on the FRONT for PCGS and NGC.
