[font:Comic Sans MS]Well I emailed eBay today and ask them whats up!!

I don't understand what I did wrong, I take a picture of every coin I sell

and make to so the buyer can read the certification number!!

 

I so glad that let other people sell counterfeit coins but remove mine for being NGC and PCGS graded.

 

I am sorry but I think this is just complete !!

 

I let you know what eBay says!![/font]

Did you have a full picture of both the front and back of the slab? Did you enter in the info into their system to show the insert number, strike characteristics, etc?

[Schatzy]

Full picture of front no back. I use turbo lister and is doesn't let you type anything for pcgs coins. I had 21 auction only 4 canned???

[gmarguli]

You need a full picture of the back of slab also.

 

Only 4/21 canceled since that is all someone reported.

[Schatzy]

How do people get anyway selling coins with no pictures or pictures covering up the cert. number.

[ich-migration]

when all else fails, read the instructions

Interesting ...

 

So now you have to show the certification number on Ebay. Looks like those who want to build a great registry set will be able to pick their coins for free.

 

Why bother with the registry any more? An honest person pays big bucks to buy the coins while others can go on line get serial numbers for higher grade coins for nothing. What's the use?

[ant]

amen! i agree that it sucks, but if you regester the coin then sell it they couldnt do that! it sucks to have to add many coins that will just be sold but i hate free loading number steelers. i wonder what braught this on? was it ebay saying this doesnt look fair or is it the thieves crying that they cant steel the number when they block it.

 

has any1 complained to ngc about this? if we cant sell there slabs cause people are not buying just ading number to set. why sell there slabs. we are looseing money by listing this way now. the people that were buying were mainly collectors and now they have all the info they need to add and not buy.

 

i have just about every coin registered! even the ones im selling so that they cant add without buying.

[DC Dawg]

I don't see what difference it makes adding the cert number. It's like buying a car... I want to VIN to verify the car has a clean title. For the coin, I would want to verify that the coin is eligible for the registry.

 

What eBay should do is make everyone enter the cert number for all certified coins and run that number against a database of stolen coins. Maybe this is something that PNG can work on with eBay? (see stolencoin.org)

ok i feel u on that checking note! i think if i just keep regestring the coins then sell them. then they can check the cert without being able to steal it. it is also a good way to know if they are happy with coin! once they try to regester it they have let you know they like it enough to put into set. there for no returns.

[font:Comic Sans MS] Good Idea!!

Since selling on eBay, I have never had anyone return a coin.

PCGS and NGC speak for themselves!! [/font]

 

 

[Schatzy]

[font:Comic Sans MS] Do you really need the cert number on a modern coin. I could see if you selling a morgan or something. There would really be no need to counterfeit a modern coin, what to make 10 bucks. [/font]

[ibyandsellsmith]

I would say Ebay is doing this to keep from getting there asses sued, sometimes you have to make sacrifices to better the world. STOP COMPLAINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is an email SchatzyJr kind of looks like spam but is about the same problem you are having.

 

Dear Valued Customer and fellow eBay member,

 

Recently eBay came up with a new policy for all people who sell coins on their site. We are glad that they are making efforts to reduce fraud, however, this policy in particular will put us, and other sellers, out of business and make it very difficult for the consumer to get low price certified coins on eBay. The policy is that every single coin listed needs to have a serial or certification number for the coin in the listing, in addition to a picture of that specific coin front and back, with its matching certification number. Normally we wouldn't bother you with eBay policies but I can tell you that this one will have a negative effect on the online coin industry as a whole. Although sellers like us sell tens of thousands of $'s worth of coins per month we are usually 1-2 man operations working on slim margins.

 

eBay is currently reviewing this new policy and we would ask that you please reply to this email with your eBay user ID so that I may compile and forward them directly to our account manager who is working on getting the policy changed. I can assure you this will in no way harm your account standing with eBay and that I will in no way alter or change any of the comments sent to me. In fact, if you do respond, when we send our email to eBay we will CC you as well so that everything is completely transparent.

 

We hope to continue to provide you all with high quality low price certified coins.

 

Best,

David Walch
