Coins

[Anonymous]

Hello I've decided to sell some of my coin collection. I had some listenings removed due to replica coin policy but was not a replica it came from quarter roll hunting. What is the best way to list error coins like double die or repunched mint marks etc?

If eBay removed them due to being replicas, I wouldn't list them at all.  You take the chance of having your account jeopardized or suspended.  I would perhaps sell them to a jewelry store or pawn broker & get cash.  Don't relist them.  Just a heads up.

Happy Selling

Don't relist the ones that have specifically been removed. Save them and put them in a coin lot 6 months from now.

Best practice for avoiding titles and descriptions that the robots hate is to copy your title and basic description terms from another auction.

Never use the term copy, reprint, reproduction, repop, or anything like that anywhere in your listing. I would not doubt if the word repunched is what got you in trouble.

eBay has a strangely inconsistent policy with these.

I've purchased a few replica coins from eBay, with complete awareness they were just copies, not the real thing. But then, when I tried listing some replicas for sale on eBay, very clearly identified as copies, for jewelry, decoration, etc., eBay purged my listing,
There are 100s of "replica" coins listed on eBay, at this very moment (do a search on eBay yourself, they're easy to find), but chatting with an agent it was repeated over and over that "replica" coins were not allowed.
But wait . . . there are pages of these currently listed, I can see them myself, this makes no sense.
After a very weird scripted response repeating that their "specialists" are checking all replica coin listings, the chat session was immediately terminated, without explanation.
eBay has to know these replica coin listings are there, but they are very selective about who they purge (?), will not provide any info about how their selection process works.  Not sure what eBay's angle on this is, but something sketch is going on with all this.
