Thank you both for that. I never thought about that PWA 1967. Thanks Nick i will try that website , its got to worth a try. ?

Exactly. Cover all the bases if its a blatant WRL replica . Download his images highlight the WRL stamps include them in an email with eBays policy on replica coins and stamps and an apology lol. They will have to relist. Maybe someone else will do it again. Its one way of tackling it or slowing it down. What can eBay do if they are confronted with the evidence? Reprimand the seller not the buyer. Your well within your rights. You could even mention trading standards , fraud police etc. Just don't contact the seller while the auctions running or report the item then it looks like a genuine bid followed by a moment of enlightenment ?

Yeah he said i was trying to fool him. Predictable. Same line all the time when they are confronted. I'll just have to start playing dirty in future and bidding on them. I doubt ebay will reprimand me. Whose going to bubble themselves to ebay to complain about someone backing out of buying a prohibited item!

Yes sure post them up. To publish more than one picture you add one image post the message then go back to it and hit edit. Add the further image , post it then edit and so on just following that routine. You can only do that for a short while though , the edit feature expires after a period of time. If it does just add on to the topic and continue the run.

It looks fine to me. A nice looking coin as well i might add. Post it up on latest acquisitions I'd love to see the other side.

Yes there both WRL reproductions . I msged him about this he told me it was "old crap in boxes" he was getting rid of. His words not mine lol. I told him that was an accurate description of them but he never got back to me. He's had 12 inquiries , most I suspect are people telling him there reproductions but he's denying they are. Also two of the bidders who ran it up have now retracted bids. It was at £728. I suspect that was done on purpose to put people off bidding. The guys a scumbag. If i wasn't selling stuff on ebay I'd win them myself then refuse payment. His attitude to its F-U there not replica coins mind your own business. Sent all those 3 pictures below to him on Tuesday or Wednesday. He's fully aware of what he's selling.

Look at the bidding history on these. It looks like somebody's doing what you did declan. ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/122598565708

They look like Nuremberg Jetons. Not my area but if you google them you should be able to get more information. Don't clean them.

Spoken about this before and I've considered doing it myself but if it was done frequently you'd probably get a freeze on your account if someone lodged a complaint. I think its something we are all just going to have to accept is going on and ebay will not address it. I don't think there is any quick fix solution to this unfortunately without ebay support its pointless. I've stopped getting frustrated by it now. I just occasionally post the silly ones on here under eBays worst offerings. Just continue to report them , thats as much as we can do. Boycotting eBay will not work the numbers would be that small it would be like throwing a deckchair off the titanic.

Them magic Westair beans are growing well! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/122598565708

I think I've seen that turd in York at the Jorvik centre but I could be wrong it could be another turd ?

Thats just lip service to cover there backs and make it actually look like they are doing something. There actions say otherwise. Alot of us are serial reporters , me included. I've not seen anything pulled this year that I've reported other than stuff I've guilt tripped sellers into removing with moral advice.

Very true. I've seen feedback people have left for coins I've identified as fake. I saw somebody once leave positive feedback for a William I pax penny thats sold by museum reproductions in Runcorn. He paid £250 for it. Same week another 2 where listed by separate sellers both identical and both replicas from the same cast mould as the first one.

Thanks. I didn't even see that. ?

I think so yes. I translated the link (Russian) and he's asking about the coins identity and evaluation. Value i assume. Looks as if its been holed at one stage. There's also some confusion as to whom it's attributed too. A user on the other forum is saying its swedish and the king is Anund Jakob.

Oomf sold for £460. Ouch that's going to sting if they're savvy enough to realise it's garbage. Good luck with eBay customer service lol.

I posted this one a few days ago. I've reported it. The sellers now updated the listing description to say hes " Got a bag full of them" http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/122598565708 In other words when them two sell he will be listing more. Unbelievable!

I noticed that days ago. Reported it too.

It must be those pesky thieving magpies!

A couple from the Lord Westair collection. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/122598565708 Get the brasso out ! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/322590898692

Pissing into the wind reporting anything to them unfortunately. I've given up doing that now and since I got threatened I've given up hassling the sellers to remove or be clear about what they sell. Unfortunately it's crawling with crooks on there. I've even been fleeced buying stuff for my kids (toys) . Best thing we can all do is be wary about what we buy and fight our corner if something goes wrong , we can't rely on eBay for anything other than replace or refund and if they start to deny us that liberty I'll be throwing the towel in and shopping elsewhere.

I know. The only way the evidence could be put towards them was by photograph unless they where willing to come direct to your door for an explanation of why it was fake. I find their attitude towards it shoddy at the least. If Declan had not persisted the case they would of been favouring the seller (fraudster). Happy it was sorted eventually.

? Spot on lol. Bin it!

Also terrible condition for such a hefty price tag. This ones just plain wrong. Another one of those wonderful "metal detecting finds" http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162589701240
