Ebay is Getting Better

I just read on a coin chat line that EBAY just instituted some GREAT new regulations for coins listed on ebay
Hopefully similar rules will be added for sportcards

Simply the new rules are as follows to list A graded coin:

Graded rare coins have to be from the Big 4 in the coin market ONLY,
NO grading service u never heard of

A full scan of the coin, front & back must be in the listing

ANY coin not certified by the Big 4 is considered RAW or uncertified & must be listed as such

If selling a raw coin:

The grade cannot be in the title, only in the listing
A grading company or price guide cannot be mentioned anywhere
A dollar value, even if a personal opinion cannot be included in the title or description

Maybe Ebay will do our hobby a favor & institute similar requirements for sportcards ASAP as it's desperately needed

These news rules will help clean up coin fraud on ebay, not eliminate it , but it is a major step in the right direction

Kudos to ebay, maybe they are listening to all the complaints from honest sellers

I plan on calling ebay & see if similar rules can be added to all sportcard listings
