FAKES!

[Agpanda]

Need help to report some of all fakes on ebay

If we all report 10 each day, that will be a lot for ebay to handle

If we report many enough they have to take some action

Spread this on other forums, and lets all help out

Do you have links?

They are easy to spot on ebay,

The ones that are easiest to spot has normally the word plated in the headline

Even if they state that it is a plated coin, it still have to be marked with COPY on it

Look at pandas, there are many fakes

Also look at their feedback, normally under 50

Here are a tutorial on how to do

@Bosse68 I think it's better if you post specific links.

If you post a link up, I am sure a lot of members will help report. But if you just ask members to search, find and report I don't think there will be as many reports.

Every panda going back years is £13, bargain, and he's claiming they are genuine lol.

There's a simple solution: avoid eBay. It's just not worth the time and hassle of trying to spot the reals from the fakes. Some fakes are easy to spot, but others look pretty darn close to the originals, and the fake sellers will often use stock pictures.

Just pay dealer prices - it's completely worth the peace of mind. I don't even think eBay works out any cheaper, but people get addicted to the auctions and winning their bids.

Here here, I've said it before and Ill say it again.  

If it wasn't for stupid buyers buying stupid fakes these sellers wouldn't make any money, NO SALES = they would try another china mega import item like TOWIEcombi waflle iron hair straighteners

Am i going to waste my time doing eBay job for them ?  NO.  as if they care anyway, they make profit from the selling of these fakes.

I would guess 90% of autographs on eBay are fake for the exact same reasons

How much dodgy design gear is sold through FleaBay ?

ANYTHING made by man, can be copied by man

WANT THE REAL MCCOY buy from a reputable source and that sure as hell ain't eBay

I agree with 99% of the sentiment... the 1% difference of opinion, where else would you pick up this for the price? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1995-China-Panda-1-oz-silver-10-Yuan-cased-Bright-Uncirculated-very-rare-KM-722-/262556480874?hash=item3d2195f56a:g:S~cAAOSw-YVXnlku

 It is all about sorting the Wheat from the Chaff, is it worth the time invested.. I think Paul covered usage of time in a brilliant discussion earlier this year, the answer, it depends I guess!
