Unfortunately
eBay protects their "power-sellers", even if they are fraudulent, as long as they are making their monthly quota
eBay doesn't care if they are
selling dirt advertised as gold dust.
A buyer left negative feedback on the $1500 fake and apparently they never paid for the item. One day later the negative feedback was removed from
eBay. From what i remember the feedback said the coin was a modern fake and the seller was highly fraudulent, in other words it didn't break any of
eBay rules of feedback that would warrant the removal.
But, as i stated earlier, if you are a power-seller on
eBay they will gladly remove any negative feedback on your request, which is why he doesn't have many other negative feedbacks on
his record. It's all very confusing and infuriating.
In other words in eBays world if you are a
good crook that sells a lot of fake items they are ok with that, but if you are a petty
crook selling a couple
fakes they will kick you off before you can collect your first fraudulent payment.
