While cruising the coin listings at ebay I came across an offering for a "rare" 1788 Connecticut 25 cent piece. It was, in fact, a 1999 Connecticut business strike Statehood quarter. Bidding starting at $10.00 + $4 shipping.

So I reported it under 'fraudulent practices'.

A few hours went by and I got this reply:

What happened:
We looked into your report and didn’t find the listing to be in violation of our policy. This determination was made using automation or artificial intelligence.

Here's the link if you want to see it...

Reported also, I will let you know if I even get a reply.

Buy gold now and watch The Terminator.

Reported this fraud as well. Disgusting.

It takes a lot of user reporting through that system for eBay to do anything. But I reported it to a group with eBay contacts that can usually get counterfeit / mislisted coins pulled within a day.

Thanks guys.

I'm not entirely convinced this seller isn't simply a dumbazz, or half dumbazz and half evil. But the coin does say '1999' on it...Hello?!

They're also offering a rare NY quarter, so maybe they're testing the waters to judge scam-ability.

Notice that the seller has ZERO feedback. This definitely screems half dumbazz and half evil. It is obvious that he (or she) is a scumbag/criminal/con artist, and not even a smart one. A smart criminal on ebay would start out by selling 10-15 real items and provide fast, honest secure shipping. That would build some positive feedback. Then, with that in place, maybe some Dumbo would actually pay the ten dollars for a 25 cent item. And finally, eBay is either too stupid OR too corrupt to remove the listing.
