User jolllyman on Yahoo auctions - counterfeits
I believe this is the same guy who called himself jollyc on ebay and was
NARU'ed for selling those Chinese counterfeits and pretending they might be real. Looks like he's moved to Yahoo auctions and is doing the same thing. I discovered a feature called 'Neighborhood Watch' where people can comment on an auction on Yahoo to warn the buyers. I did post my concerns about one of the auctions. I thought I'd post a link to his auctions in case anyone else on here wants to look for themselves and add their concerns to the 'Neighborhood Watch' on there. The button for adding those comments is right above the 'Auction Info'. http://user.auctions.shopping.yahoo.com/user/jolllyman? In his descriptions he says the coin is a nice example.. looks real.. feels lighter.. acquired as part of a collection.. lots of copies out there so he's selling as such to be on the safe side. Never says that he bought them as copies from China. Thanks, Ken |

thanks for the info-that 'watch' feature is something e-bay should have-a
way for users to self-regulate the auctions on that venue,keep eachother informed of suspicious auctions and sellers. I haven't used yahoo auctions in over a year,but I recently began checking them out once again,just for variety. phil |

You're right. The thing that really bugs me about his auctions is his
pretending he does not know for sure if the coins are counterfeit or not. And of course he does because of when and where he bought them. Instead he implies that the buyer might be getting a real one. Then he says he's selling as a repro just to be safe. sheesh... Sure, maybe the buyer should learn a lesson from his/her greed but I hate liars..

BTW I like the neighbourhood watch feature, I don't see fleaBay offering such a useful tool though, since it would hurt their bottomed line. Dave --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Dave Exactly what I was thinking.They would just deny knowledge of any seller offering counterfeits,and even if they were aware,they would just say they can't police every auction. But,really-wouldn't it just serve them much better in the eyes of their users if they did have such a feature?Maybe they're afraid of misuse-kind of what some of our own sellers from this group have been through with the feedback on e-bay. |
