PWA 1967 Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) The seller is not putting on the description they are 2019 (which may be seen as misleading ) although that is on the picture and cant be classed as fakes. The fraud squad........Sounds a bit heavy 😮 Are there fake 2019 is that what you mean ? Edited April 9, 2019 by PWA 1967 Quote
Sword Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Most of his buyers are probably not aware of the 2019 reissue of Kew Garden 50p. To be fair to him, he has given the date as 2019 in the description (under item specifics). Not mentioning the date in the title or that this is a " 50 years of the 50p " reissue is not ultra scrupulous. Can't understand how he can claim 100% feedback on over 4000 transactions whe his feedback rating is only 37. Quote

Can't understand how he can claim 100% feedback on over 4000 transactions whe his feedback rating is only 37. I'm sure that if someone buys or sells multiple items to the same person, then it only counts as one feedback score, so 4000 feedbacks with 3964 from the same person counts as 1, doesn't it? A bit tedious, but within the capabilities of a dedicated shill bidder, or someone anxious to build up their reputation. e.g. You sell 4000 identical items to the same person (yourself) and leave 4000 feedbacks. Sorry I'm a cynic. Edited April 10, 2019 by Rob 1 Quote
PWA 1967 Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Yes.....One guy has bid with him about 350 times in the last week ,he must be getting frustrated to keep bidding for all the same items 2 Quote
rpeddie Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 think there is a timeframe(week?) where your feedback is not counted more than once if for the same seller Quote

He has already sold a few at decent prices, granted he is not getting the full amount. I actually telephoned ebay yesterday who said they would pass it on to their fraud squad, yet nothing has been done. So obviously ebay condones the selling of fakes 😠 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-STUNNING-KEW-GARDENS-50p-COIN-BRILLIANT-UNCIRCULATED-MINT-CONDITION/293039146693?hash=item443a7e86c5:g:yPoAAOSwcT1coQXZ&redirect=mobile You do realise that they re-released the Kew garden with a 2019 date don’t you? Although saying that, he is showing pictures of a 2009, but year of manufacture is 2019, so he is being a little economical in the description. I guess he is hoping no one checks the full listing Edited April 10, 2019 by azda Quote

The year is on the OBV Dave and shows as 2019 as they all have 2009 on the REV. Quote

The original seller didn't leave one either as a result. He gave a feedback later on for a very good reason. Quote

will1976 Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 Has anyone messaged her asking if it's the same coin.....it obviously is but her response would be interesting Quote

Sword Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) Found the listing from the original seller. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1847-VICTORIA-GOTHIC-CROWN-CONTEMPORARY-SILVER-FORGERY-See-Description-/264080811375?nma=true&si=hX46vC%2BxoiDdDtNubzED6M7TcHs%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 It's the same coin I think. Looks like she has done some artificial toning. Before: After: the black spots below r and t of gratia and the spot on the right field are present. Edited April 22, 2019 by Sword 1 Quote
Paddy Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Actually, mycopau was quite clever to leave a positive feedback that made it clear the coin was a copy. As a regular seller, she can contact Ebay over negative or neutral feedbacks and get them removed if she can make a case for why they should be. But positive feedback - why should Ebay even discuss getting that taken down! Well done mycopau! 😄 1 Quote
