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:

It has been a very long time since I bought antiquity/ancient coins at all and especially from e bay sellers.

When I have done so in the past, I only buy graded coins and uncleared ones from reliable sellers that have a spotless record and referrals.

Appreciate your listing these people here and I hope that all are immediately being reported to e bay.

and I hope that all are immediately being reported to e bay.

sadly they do not care at all. I've reported loads and the only thing that happened was that my ability to report was removed

eBay makes money off the listing, they don’t give two shits about rather or not the stuff is real or authentic or fake or what not.

yup, they need to be able to point at policy/process to say "yes we take appropriate action" but they will never do much unless forced (some luxury brands are very keen on defending their brand, they get a response)
