eBay Policy

I am absolutely furious at eBay!!! Did anyone know that eBay has a policy which prohibits using a numercial grade in the title for a raw coin auction!?!? If the coin is not slabbed, you are not allowed to assign a numercial grade to the title of the auction. This is probably the dumbest and most retarded things I have ever heard eBay do, and I have to question wether this will even allow me to continue selling raw coin on eBay! Totally insane, and I wrote a long e-mail to eBay telling them that. I had (8) auctions end on eBay, with buyers for (7) of them, and eBay deleted them from their system. They didn't delete any of the other 300-400 auctions in my store which are not ended but which also violate this policy, but they went and deleted the (7) which had in fact already sold! Has anyone else had this happen?

Regards,
Jon

Great combination error. Its exotic nature totally eluded me. Hopefully we'll see some more wild Chilean errors. ... ...

Very nice indeed. It seems that Chile is vying with Malaysia for bragging rights as a rich source of assisted errors. ... ...

While I don't necessarily agree with the policy, I gather you can still mention a general grade in the title like "AU" and then include a more precise...

Jon, My 2 cents is to be creative with this, meaning something which translates the same, like RAW or UNC. The body of your written description will always...

I see you recently got a second example, with the misalignment not as severe. Let us know if they come from the same die pair. Because such a combination is...
