Ebay . Why oh Why?

[HighlandTiger]

Doing my usual flick through ebay looking for bargains, and came across this. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/American-Eagle-Walking-Liberty-1-OZ-Fine-silver-Dollar-type-coin-dated-2010-/251539489041?pt=UK_Coins_Bullion_Bars_SM&hash=item3a90ec0111

 

£16 for a silver plated Eagle. ....................For a few quid more you can get the real thing. The old saying about a fool and his money is never truer when it comes to the idiots bidding on online auction sites.

Is it ok to sell fakes if they are labelled silver plated replicas?  Or is it against ebay`s policy?

[TheBullionBoy]

That's an just an argument and a negative feedback waiting to happen. Maybe the buyer will assume he has a real coin for the next 10 years and won't even bother checking....since they haven't even checked the description. I hate how he's put "Fine Silver" in the title, but "Fine Silver Layered" in the one line description. 1/2 is a mini-con by the seller, 1/2 is the stupidity and ignorance of at least 2 bidders.

 

I have been meaning to buy some layered, plated, fake (all the same rubbish) coins as a bit of a decoy. Won't be paying £16 each though, that's for sure.

 

The buyer will complain, the seller will claim he stated layered in the description and 100mills in the PM content, ebay will back the seller and the world will keep on turning.

[Danny-boy]

They price them at that level to make it believable.

Scumbags

Obviously just trying to deceive people, if you're new to silver it's so easy to get ripped off by scum like this, they need to sign up to forums like this before parting with their hard earned cash.

If only we could entice them all in before they buy - all too often they come on having already purchased a duffer.

[HawkHybrid]

if ebay cared, they could have a comments section like youtube, but then

that would hurt sales.

Oh, so the fake lunar horse is to celebrate the grand national?

What a listing. He even goes on to paste a list of race winners in the description.

Reported.

[silversword]

That is one hell of a listing. The word "plated" appears a mere one time.

[HelpingHands]

Why can't we have ebaybucks in this country instead of those nectar points which I've not used once so far.

[HelpingHands]

Oh, hang on a minute.

 

Spend your Nectar points at eBay*
•Set up your Nectar and eBay accounts to convert your points into eBay vouchers
•Once set up, convert your points in multiples of 500, with a maximum of 40,000 points (£200) per voucher. There is no limit to the number of vouchers you can purchase
•500 points = £2.50 towards your vouchers.
•Your vouchers will be created and stored in your MyeBay account ready for you to select and use at checkout
•You can use your eBay vouchers against all the things you love on transactions of £10 or more

 

[morezone]

I believe it works out to be effectively 0.5% cashback. 1 point for every £1 and then £2.50 for every 500 points.

I didn't know you could convert them to spend on Ebay.  I was going to spend them in Argos but thanks to you @Helping Hands, I've linked my account ready for converting.

[Danny-boy]

I have just linked my account too and just got a £15 eBay voucher.

Awesome, nice one gents.
