Thanks, that's clearer than I've seen with the top of the 6 showing. Given the degree of curvature of the back of the 6, is there any trace of the loop of it in the bottom loop of the 8? If so, by extension, it would have to be a shorter 6 than the 8 and in that case is the 8 the large date variety or not? I've seen a similar example with the left side underlying, but couldn't see any trace of a loop or the top of the 6.

I am after some help to track down a supplier for coin frames/slides. They are single 2" square cardboard , cut out to the exact coin diameter and embossed with the coin type ie copper ½d, Copper 1d etc.. I have exhausted my current supply which I bought several years ago and my old supplier hasn't any left, most people now use the mylar type of 'flip' with the acetate both sides enclosing the coin but I find these a little inconvenient when regularly removing coins for reference purposes, the plastic types I find too bulky and haven't the frame to avoid touching the coin surfaces with regular handling. If anyone could point me in the right direction please. Thankyou John

That's a very useful tool, I've heard of the search previously but have never been able to find it, could you point me in the right direction Follow the Advanced Search link and choose the By Bidder option, then tick the boxes you want for the time period in question and also tick whether high bidder or not. Thanks Rob, found it. John

There is a lot of this going on, I think you had a good point in your earlier email, to expose these dealers/sellers, using a forum to make members aware of people/auctions that could be a problem. I my four years on ebay I have exposed several fraudelent dealers/sellers to Ebay, all who have been removed, but then seem to re emerge under a different name.

Messed that first one up! I have researched my 'Buyer' and found the following which may help others. Buyer has been selling screensavers at 1 pence each, this has given a large feedback over a relatively short period. As Feedback is kept private, you can't check to see what has been bought by whom, Paypal also gives a healthy verified rating due to large number of payments received. Nothing has ever been posted to or from this buyer, Correspondance is only through Ebay messages, therefore no details can be checked. I personally will block all buyers with private feedback from now on, what have they got to hide? Obviously a lot in some cases.

Name and shame time, I have emailed both addresses, no reply received (if they were cloned accounts I think they would have replied by now), Telephone number supplied is dead, I would assume Postal address is false, PayPal and Ebay are investigating Ebay id is charliejsn feedack is 156 100%, PayPal account is under a different name completely Postal Address: Charlie Johnson London NW10 Unconfirmed Email address: charliejohnson911@hotmail.co.uk PayPal id: Payment From: Ryan Clayton Buyer's ID: charliejsn Buyer's Email: ryan.clayton@hotmail.co.uk

Very lucky, that's why I thought I'd pass it on, my experience may just save another a few quid/coin. Bacs is a much better way of securing the funds, but I get jittery at giving out too much personal information with all the 'cloning' that's been going on. Cash is the best way, but try paying in or taking out more than a couple of hundred from the bank and they all but frisk you these days.

I had a 'Buy it Now' used on a particularly expensive coin this morning. The buyer in very bad English, through bay Messages, asked me to Invoice him for immediate payment and asked to collect the coin in person the same day. The Payment was made through PayPal immediately, notification from Paypal they had received the funds followed shortly, then I received an email from the buyer confirming he had made the payment and asking for my address/where the coin was for collecting that day also my whereabouts, was I at my address or at work. Fortunately I don't keep my coins at home, but offered to collect it and meet this person at my home address to hand it over that evening. In the meantime the PayPal payment had been reversed by the Buyer/PayPal and notification of such received from PayPal. Had it not been for the delay in collecting the coin, and that I keep my email browser open, I probably would missed the PayPal warning and parted with the coin. I emailed the Buyer that the payment had been withdrawn, he never showed up or replied to the email, the Telephone number he listed is non-existant, probably the address also. PayPal are investigating, but the buyer had a 100% posotive Ebay UK Feedback of 156, although it was registered as Private. As a precaution I will now be listing a three day turnaround with no personal collections, unless of course I know you.
