Re: Ebuyer Beware!

The pictures, item specifics, and price for the 1878 VAM-70 do not violate eBay policy. What does violate eBay policy are the title and description. The 1878 is not a VAM-70. The listing is on its way down.

Re: Ebuyer Beware!

Many items that have been reported here over the years were genuine coins that did not violate an eBay listing policy. You cannot just go out and hire anyone off the street and expect him/her to know how to determine the difference between a genuine coin, an altered coin, an electrotype, a contempor...

Re: Ebuyer Beware!

eBay does give a shit. That is why I monitor eBuyer Beware. For the last 9 years I have participated in an eBay initiative to clean up the Coins and Paper Money category. I am one of a few full-time coin dealers / professional numismatists that have have direct access to the person that can remove l...

Re: Ebuyer Beware!

I just want to let everyone know that I am not receiving new post email notifications for eBuyer Beware. I have alerted one of the site admins about the problem,. If I do not receive new post notifications, then I am not aware that new posts have been made. So until someone from this site resolves t...

Re: Not receiving new post notifications

That is not happening. I have been a member of VAMWORLD 2.0 since you moved to this new platform a few years ago. I have been receiving new post notifications for years... until April as I stated in my previous post. By the way. I did not receive an email notification that you replied to this post, ...

Not receiving new post notifications

According to the system, I am subscribed the the eBuyer Beware topic. The last email message that I received that there was a new post in eBuyer Beware was on April 8, 2021. There were dozens of posts since then. I have deleted all board cookies multiple times and still no email notifications.

Re: Copy / Pasted URLs No Longer Work In Posts

When I click on hyperlinks in eBuyer Beware posts in Google Chrome (my primary browser), and an old version of Internet Explorer, the links are redirected to: redirect.viglink.com, then to swagbucks.com, then to p406575.infopicked.com, then to the wwww.ebay.com home page.

Re: Ebuyer Beware!

The hyperlinks do not work any more. This is nuts. Until someone (not me and someone who understands the coding aspect of VAMWorld) resolves this issue, I ask that when coin(s) are reported, the eBay item id is included on a separate line . If you want to copy/paste the hyperlink, fine, but please p...

When I click on any eBay hyperlink posted in eBuyer Beware, the listing that the person reported is not displayed. Instead, www.eBay.com is displayed.

To be or not to be an 1887 Donkey Tail

Note the nublit of the tail,
Is this a VAM 25, VAM 25A Early Die State, or VAM 25A?
Most importantly, why?

Thank you... David

Re: Ebuyer Beware!

There is no way to warn buyers about these sellers. There are hundreds of thousands to millions of casual, novice, and experienced coin buyers on eBay. New coin buyers join eBay every day. Although eBay has community message boards, making posts about "potential" listing violations is considered sel...

Re: Ebuyer Beware!

Just to update you all... there are some discussions going on off VAMWorld about the raw items listed by eBay seller bergerassetmanagement : https://www.ebay.com/sch/bergerassetmanagement/m.html?_trksid=p3692 Do the raw coins look similar in appearance? Yes. Are the coins grainy? Yes. Do many of the...
