Enforcement of Revised Parts of Code of Conduct

Feb 8, 2005 12:01 PM
Hi Everyone,

Thank you again for your passion re: our Revised Code of Conduct.

We recognize that several of you are discouraged by what you view as a lack of response on eBay’s part to reported listings. Please keep in mind that this is a new policy. As with any new policy/rule, we are working to educate our members before punishing them for doing something they did not even know was against the rules. So, depending on the nature of the violation, we may issue a warning prior to ending a seller’s listings.

Please note that only a certain percentage of sellers actually read this Discussion Board. I am working on other ways to communicate this revision. Thanks for your patience.

Finally, I would like to stress that eBay is in this for the long-haul, and are confident that you will witness that we are making strides in the right direction.

Have a nice day,
Lia

Thank you, vaughan1149.

Although I have been of eBay for 9 years, I am new to these forums. I appreciate the compliment.

Oops. Should have proof read my last post. I meant to say "I have been on eBay for 9 years."

There are plenty of frauds and dealers in counterfeits out there, in particular from China. Ebay doesn't care. I have one from UK. Paypal told me to return his obvious counterfeit, but crazycoins-001 refused to give me his shipping address. As usual, both Paypal and Ebay were absolutely no help at all.

Two more phony Chinese "silver" coins. Puckerup123 is selling a "trade dollar 420 grains, 900 fine" for 99 cents. What a philanthropist when silver is around $16/ounce. This is item 240438774438.
Johansonqgy, another Chinese fraud, is back. I've reported this guy again and again. Ebay's response? No response; no action. Item 26042615177 is for sale at 99 cents ($9.45 shipping! You can get 20 like it for $10 on Dong Khoi St. in Vietnam. So each costs 50 cents; he makes $10 on each coin minus $3.00 for shipping). This time it is a silver-dollar sized "silver" Chinese coin - I have its twin. Ebay - is it logical for someone to sell about an ounce of silver for less than a dollar? I have a Brooklyn copy Bridge for sale; in the water only twice - worked perfectly. Now in dry dock Arizona. $9.99 and free shipping.

Patrick, as far as I know, you have to list those on ebay.ca site in CAD$. They cannot show up on the ebay.US site. If I were you I'd contact my rep to see why they ended the listings. They should have sent you an email stating why. It's probably something really simple.

I checked your listings and they are not listed on the ebay.ca site, they show up listed ebay.US. I guess that's what you have to change. Go to ebay.ca: Link and list them from there.

My original listing was in USD now changed it to CAD$ am i ok this time ? also why was my items endded if i listed from ebay.ca ? thank you.

You couldn't list those coins (an "unapproved" slab with a numeric grade in the title) on the U.S. site that way. Either, someone reported them (not knowing where they were listed from) and eBay pulled them not knowing or caring that they were listed on the Canadian site, or they have changed policies for the Canadian site. It is hard to say - eBay employees not knowing the policy, or eBay changing policies faster than anyone can keep up?

A check of the selling policies of ebay.ca (LINK) showed a similarity to the ebay.com policy (LINK), but made no mention of rules for the sale of certified and uncertified coins. The first sentence under the "Guidelines" for ebay.ca states (under "Additional Information"), "Read the Code of Conduct for Selling Coins & Paper Money on eBay." I clicked the link but got a blank page.

On the policy page of eBay.com under "Some Examples," it states that if a coin is not certified by one of the "approved" grading companies (NGC, NCS, PCGS, ICG, ANACS) it is considered raw/uncertified. Therefore:

"A numeric grade is not included in the title of the listing, such as MS-65, VF-25, etc. A numeric grade may only be included in the description of the listing.
The grading company or price guide is not referenced in the title or description.
A dollar value (even if personal opinion) is not included in the title or description"

It could be that the policy is the same for all of ebay, but ebay.ca does not mention it specifically like ebay.com does on their policy page, and the link to the "Code of Conduct" on the ebay.ca site did not work to prove otherwise.

P.S.

I was unaware of these details until I, too, had a listing canceled. I included the name of an "unapproved" grading company once (NTC, Numistrust Corporation) in the listing title. The policy page is not an easy one to find.

NTC is not an "unapproved" grading company. They are a scam.

Yes, I came to realize this. The coin I sold was a 1960 SD PF68 RD that I had for years and I don't even remember when of where I got it. Since I've retired, I became more active in my collecting and cleaned out the junk. As far as TPG's go , there are a lot of bad ones, some are just worse than others. I still have a couple of PCI graded coins, and they, too seem a bit generous in their grading. But that's fodder for another thread.

As far as the eBay policies regarding selling coins and currency goes, I tried to find the information from the home page and couldn't figure out how to get there. Going by the URL, ebay.com/help/pollicies/selling-coins, I tried to navigate there from the home page starting with the "Help" link. I gave up. Thank God I bookmarked it. That's the only way I can find it. Like I said, it's not an easy thing to find.
