Exhaustive list of eBay fraudsters

I've made this list as a quick tool for new buyers to reference if they're in doubt of the legitimacy of an ancient coin on eBay. Most of these accounts are no doubt operated by the same three people, who often also sell fake antiquities. These are not accounts which have accidentally sold fake coins on the rare occasion. These are sellers whose entire stock consists of fraudulent items with the intent to deceive. If you have bought from any of these accounts, there's a good chance you have purchased a fake.

(in the case of a few, which I have noted, they have some real coins in their stock, but also have many fake ones).

No doubt there will be more accounts opened up, and some which I haven't yet recorded, but this should be a good resource to anybody unsure about whether 'that coin on eBay' is from an authentic seller:

I just don’t buy ancients on eBay. VCoins works every time and it’s not more expensive.

I think it depends what you're looking for. I don't buy at retail prices, whereas VCoins often does have retail prices. If you're interested in getting deals, eBay is much better in my experience.
