Title: CAVEAT EMPTOR--Fake sellers on eBay
Post by: Victor on May 19, 2017, 02:40:27 PM
This is a list of current fake sellers on eBay. It is for sellers that frequently or egregiously lists fakes, not someone that accidentally lists fakes.


This list is far from complete, but I will continually update it.

Please start a separate topic if you find a fake seller not already listed.


Note that many of these sellers listed below also sell some/many authentic coins. A common ploy used by fake sellers is to list many common low grade coins and only a few fakes. If in doubt though, it is best to avoid them altogether.

Private listings are also a red flag, but do not always mean that a seller is involved in anything fraudulent.


Some of these accounts have been closed, but I will leave the old ID up for a while. Others have changed their usernames and I have noted the new name if I know it, otherwise I just state "changed ID".
