Actually, I take back what I said above as taking time to look at one of your current multiple BIN listings I can see you have sold loads!!
I don't agree with what you've done but if you're going to do it, why risk an established eBay account??
eBay are probably going to be inundated with complaints and I suspect your account will eventually be suspended.
Don't be surprised to get a call from your local fraud squad. If I was you I would end all listings, get the buyers to agree to cancel the transactions and then refund all monies paid.

I actually think this threade is fake...I don't see a buy it now button as claimed and topsytips what bin listings do you see?
I think the OP should be ashamed of himself selling people in here hope. Obviously he isnt really doing much with this (ahem) method, or, he wouldn't be in here. $80,000 sounds good in theory, but, I doubt this is a reality. Look at the auction, he aint selling enough items fast enough to make $80,000. There are no multiple listings and ebay auctions take 3days at least to end per item.
You want attention doncha

Below is also an answer to a question posted today...the old coins do have a date on the tails side so I guess the OP will say that that is the back of the coin??

Ah I see...even the 151 doesnt add up to 550+ sales though I am surprised he got negative feedback because I didn't think he delivered the items yet to get any feedback.

On completed listings he sold a stack of coins on 2nd July so I guess they've landed on unhappy doorsteps today...
I'm just extremely surprised the listing is still live given how eGay seem to pounce within minutes whenever I do something wrong!!

when I go to completed listings all I see is the motorcycle. When I go to his feedback I see one reply on july, 2 of someone thanking him for buying the coin. Sorry but I dont know what your looking at to see his previous sales.
Edit: I did go to buyer history and see abunch sold today for $2.46. That won't make him rich,lol. I counted 259 sold for 2.46 which equals $637.14...note: don't quote me on count it might be more or less. I aint counting the sales again.

misleading and deceptive marketing for financial gain, can be pursued as federal crime, in some rare cases international, so the worst thing can happen is FTC and attorney general gets involved, your assets frozen, criminal and civil charges filed against you, and you go join Madoff.
All it takes is one really pissed of costumer to start this, and do not think you can hide behind fake names, servers, proxies,disclaimers and stuff. Trust me, I know, "close partner" had attorneys knock on the door for copyright infringement and misleading advertising even when it was thought to be all covered and safe. Almost all money made went puff to defend the case and reimburse costumers(even costumers never complained-but third party (attorneys) contacted payment processors. Was not as bad as deal was made just not to do it anymore. On the other hand this is BH forum and we all done our fair share of similar things. As long you don't get GREEDY and don't live next door to F.B.I, chances are rather slim that will happen. Nevertheless try to act responsibly. And NO, you are never 100% safe.

I never understood people who fraud or rob banks. If you are going to fraud or steal at least have a proper exit plan. Here is a very basic list:
1. Withdraw as much money as you can.
2. Leave the country, once there, shed all your identity. Maybe even get plastic surgery to change a few features.
3. Leave that country for another one with your new identity.
4. Do NOT (and I repeat it: DO NOT) contact ANYONE from your past life. That includes your parents, your siblings, friends, your sweetheart, your sweetheart best friend, the girl you took to the dance, the girl you always dream of banging if you were load with $$$$. Absolutely NO ONE, you are dead to them and they are dead to you.
5. Live a very clean life but always look over your shoulder b/c you never know when the officials will find you.
If you can't do just those basic things than give the money back now. Say you made a mistake in the shipments or advertisement. Why make a fortune and you can't enjoy it.

put all the money on red on a roulette table. if you win, cash out and send them their money back saying it was a mistake and you shipped the wrong item out. you just made that amount of money by doubling their money if you lose it, run away... either way, you are going to lose your money and face jail time so might as well take a 50:50 chance of getting all your money and not facing jail time
