Just seen this proof (red flag ) young head sovereign selling on ebay finishing in two days time.

Seller has 3 feedback ( big red flag) 

Says payment to be made by bank transfer only ( big red flag )

What do think ? Red flag all round ? 🙈

Always cast your vote - Spoil your ballot slip. Put 'Spoilt Ballot - I do not consent.' These votes are counted. If you do not do this you are consenting to the tyranny. None of them are fit for purpose. 
A tyranny relies on propaganda and force. Once the propaganda fails all that's left is force.

COVID-19 is a cover story for the collapsing economy. Green Energy isn't Green and it isn't Renewable.

A lot of dodgy stuff on ebay at the minute. This 1 oz Krugerrand for example, looks more like Freddie kruger than Paul Kruger! Bids upto £820 so far..... Ouch.

Everyone should report this listing. That or message the seller telling him it's fake.

Very nice, shame about the edge bump though.. I can stretch to spot +3% if you want to offload it. 😬

Ebay dont give a c-r-a-p about this sort of stuff. As long as they get their share they arnt bothered.

I've done loads in the past, even told the sellers. No response off either so I dont bother anymore.

You can't post an eBay listing without a PayPal account, so there's another nail in his coffin

Sometimes I sell immaculate 200£ watches for a sub 100£ on ebay etc. And people haggling me to death or/and want better pics ( even though they are taken with DSLR) How on earth these con artists can sell coins with blurry pics of fake bullion taken on dirty tables is beyond me 😮
