Ebay Removing PCGS Coins Based on Netcop Tattling

Whilst it may or may not be related to eBay's recent ban on ICG and
ANACS as approved grading services, PCGS coins
have become the target of anonymous netcops on eBay, where BASED ON A
PHOTO, eBay has been
removing listings for coins reported as being "artificially toned
monstrosities" by members of a mysterious
eBay unlisted group called "Coin Community Watch"

A couple of eBay users -- Lapidary2 and Too_Toot seem behind this,
and apparently are "spies"
on the PCGS Forum.

PCGS are furious and have been sending missives to its dealer network
while mentioning absolutely
nothing on their own forum board.

The eBay Coins Community Watch program has been around since 2004.

It's neither mysterious nor unlisted ... Here's the announcement:

# eBay Workshop: Coins Community Watch Program - Monday, August 30th
# View Listings | Report Aug-17-04 10:47 PDT
# Topic: eBay Workshop: Coins Community Watch Program
#
# Host: eBay Staff
# Date: Monday 08/30
# Time: 17:00 - 18:00 PDT
# Location: Workshop Board
#
# Description: Please join Category Management for Coins and Trust and
# Safety to discuss the Coins Community Watch (CCW) program, which is a
# joint effort between a team of numismatic experts, the American
# Numismatic Association (ANA), and eBay that launched a few months ago.
# We will start off the workshop by providing background on what CCW is
# and how it works. After this introduction, we will spend the majority
# of the hour answering questions that you may have. Then we will end
# the workshop by reviewing any suggestions we heard to improve the
# program. Thank you.

Please post copies of the missives PCGS has been sending. I'd love to
see what they are saying about this ...
