eFakes Week 1

eFakes-L: Week 1

This new forum is off to a rousing start, with nearly 100 members in its
first week. I'm encouraged by that reception, and see every reason to expect
that the united efforts of concerned collectors will ultimately lead to
meaningful eBay reform.

eFakes-L will make a serious attempt to do something about online
collectibles fraud. The "Suspicious Auctions" database will become an
important resource for those who realize how self serving and misleading
eBay's fraud statistics are. Hopefully, we can bring the public and
Government authorities to understand the true nature and extent of the
problem.

This is an open list. All are welcome to read it, to benefit from the
database and to help in reporting suspicious auctions.

Backgound information on eFakes-L - recapping the collectibles fraud
problem, why it's particularly offensive to me and ultimately the decision
to act - can be viewed in the Classical Coins blog:
