Fake sovereign on Ebay

[JeffH]

I agree the reporting procedure is over simplified. Only way it might be effective is if many reports, from different people, are filed for a particular item or seller.
If eBay does cancel a seller's registration for continued breaches of rules, what is to stop the seller just registering again in a different name? We have had one bidder in the last month pop up with three different names and nothing shows in her ID history. We reported her for non payment and she is a serial pest demanding we allow her to "Buy it Now". Adding her to our 'blocked bidders' list doesn't stop the bombardment of mail -maybe there should also be a 'blocked sellers' list with notification to the seller whenever a potential bidder has marked them to never bid on any of their items.

Here's another. Looks like a genuine sovereign (a Sydney by the looks of it) where the mintmark was obliterated to make it appear to be the rare London.

To be fair to the seller, she does state that she doesn't think it's the London mint.

Jeff eBay don't care which is sad,I report every suss item to them but the process doesn't allow to directly report a fraud coin listing.
I always contact seller stating my feelings and 99% of the time they report me for the easy links ie harassment etc
Gotta love the system hey :wavemulticolor:
