They managed to sort out the problem of wear on the beard by letting it grow like Hagrid's for this version

what about this one too

2023 Masterpiece St George & Dragon 1 Kilo Silver Proof King Charles III ltd 75 | eBay

This are actually pictures of a real coin from EIC. He’s charging £1k over and who knows if he’s actually got a real one. The portraits on these are pretty bad tbh

Description Bin Lord

- Didn’t bother to spell Douro or didn’t bother to research it

- Description that is deliberately vague

- BNTA stated as the brand

“

1866 Full Gold Sovereign Possibly From HMS DOURA wreck. 

This was purchased at auction with one other from a collectors estate that’s all I know G.B. - Gold Sovereign Victoria YH 1871 GVF this is the exact heading used at the auction have no paperwork or coa just the written ticket in the case some of the coins recovered didn’t have coa there were sold and I wish could prove it was anyway good luck it’s an early coin add to any collection good luck see pictures”

You could say that anyone hoping to get a ‘bargain’ deserves everything they get? E bay scams like this aren’t really new😮🤔

Ok, in that one I can see they've used the wrong font.

How many years experience do I need before I can spot these things?

[ZRPMs]

 

I did fill out and send a report for this. Ebay will do nothing. I sent seller a question regarding the coin. still no answer. The joker wants £585 plus £10 postage

I believe these are the same coins at £11 each 😆

[Spyder]

The Joke of the matter is that real sovereigns are struggling to make £400 while £3 tokens bought from aliexpress are being sold for £350+ on some occasions

[Fenlander1]

The seller must know it is fake judging by his other items for sale why would he risk it.

Exactly. I've tried reporting the Item again. Sent more messages to seller. Still no response.

[Fenlander1]

I have also reported and sent message but no response either.

Very well done. To be fair my last message wasn't as long as this and was defiantly not as polite. Couldn't help myself after several none responses. 

[Fenlander1]

I have just been chatting to an ebay rep on their chat thingy. I politely pointed out that this item is 100% counterfeit and needs to be removed so that they comply with there duty of care as stated in their terms and conditions. I also informed them that a copy of the chat would be sent to the trading standards office along with any other information to help their investigation.

I am bored.

[Agaupl]

Well done for trying. Dare I say an Indian data Centre? Probably handling 10 companies plus 😔

Lol data not satay.

[Fenlander1]

Most likely tbh. 

[ZRPMs]

@Fenlander1 your a star. Not a @HerefordBullyun star but a real one.

[Dobber]

I have also reported to eBay. hopefully with the amount of people reporting this listing they may actually do something, but don't hold your breath.

Why anybody would part with their money without doing research before hand, baffles me 😕

[Fenlander1]

Well Mr Rutherford let the fun begin.

He comes from Nottinghamshire and thinks he's Robin Hood how ironic.

[HonestMoneyGoldSilver]

Also reported but it seems futile and like eBay don't care. Their cut from a genuine coin and fake coin is the same

I've sent at least 100 reports about the fake ASEs and pointed out that eBay is an American company with HQ in the USA. Selling or facilitating the sale of known counterfeit US currency is a federal offense that comes under the purview of the Secret Service. The penalties in the UK for a business are severe too

As for the sellers, they have no fear. Report to eBay. Nothing happens. Report to Trading Standards. Nothing happens. Message seller with proof. Nothing happens. These guys are making 6 figures a year buying tat from China for $1-5 USD and selling on eBay for $30-500 USD. Too much money to be made by scammers and by eBay taking their cut to promote them

[SidS]

I bet if you tried to sell a 'genuine' historic counterfeit as a counterfeit they'd block you in an instant!
