      How to protect yourself from buying fake gold on eBay?
                                                                                                                               

      The community has seen multiple discussions about purchasing fake gold, often at significant loss. With counterfeit items increasingly sophisticated and sellers often disappearing before detection, what steps can buyers take to protect themselves from scams? Should eBay implement stricter verification processes for sellers or offer better support for buyers who fall victims to counterfeit sales? Share your thoughts and experiences, and discuss potential solutions to this growing problem. We have purchased multiple bars of so called "gold" on Ebay. Ebay has taken in significant amounts of money in fees for these sales and then leaves the buyers high and dry when they find out the gold is fake. They changed their return policy recently, unknown to me to only 3 days to report a counterfeit piece of gold. I am wondering how many other people are having this issue? I am unable to escalate returns, report to keep others from being scammed or complete the return processes they do not have in place. I am thinking of contacting a lawyer and was wondering if anyone else would like to join? I have reports to the FBI and to USPS as the selling of counterfeit bouillon is a federal offense for anyone who profits from it.

      Latest Gold Prices (Mix and Match)
                       

        Gold @ $1,999.00    Remember 1999?  I do, although not consecutively.  Surprising was Gold's latest rise back to the Year 2000.  What with Palladium at $1126, Gold now has lots of lee-way.  But coming back from it's near drop to back to the 1800's was most interesting.  I thought surely back to old 1898-1835 and so forth until the usual meteoric rise to the 1900's and beyond.  It isn't as if this is the 1st time Gold has 'fluctuated' if you can call it that.  It's been over 10 years since Gold became more important than all the Metals.  Don't forget Ruthenium!  It might be Worth something someday.    Insanity = GOLD.    That is a certainty.  Nothing can go up and down like the Baby Bouncer that is Gold!   It will be **bleep** funny when Silver leaves this whole dummy.  The Whole Dummy.  Silver never leaves, never goes up, until Gold does, Vice/Versa.  Silver has no say.  But when Silver stays for a day or two at say: $30.00 dollars, What Then?     Why, Gold should drop to the price of Palladium which is Gold's Value per Ounce.     You see, **bleep** doesn't need to go right.  **bleep** can go wrong forever.     It's just funnier that way.
