    I don't understand why the Pert Mint doesn't go after EBay Australia for profiteering on fake copies of copyright Pert Mint products

    I believe all these fake issues were raised by members to the mint and ebay and nothing has happened and probably never will.

    If you buy any gold from German eBay sellers or,
    If you buy any gold on any site with reference to Germany Goldbarren"Perth Mint" Be careful.

    I looked at different sellers and sites, found almost all were dealing in counterfeit gold!

    Here's another seller with obvious counterfeit Perth Mint 1 oz. gold bars.
    So obvious. Plus seller is from Australia. Got 3 listed and sold 1 for $1,340
    I think a call to ACCC in Australia will do mate.
    eBay seller gil.fish
    Ebay item 322387750887

    Anybody knows where could I acquire the fake perth mint gold bars?

    I'd like to have a sample at home to compare with my gold purchases

    Thanks everyone!

    Alibaba, eBay etc. Though couldn't you just buy a real bar from a reputable dealer and compare that against your gold purchases? Letting these leeches profit, no matter how small, is what drives them to create these fakes.

    I read somewhere that the fake gold bars where listed as such on ebay, but couldn't find them. That's why I was asking here in the community if anyone had a reputable source where to get them

    I totally agree that creating demand for them hurts us all. So if anyone has a fake one and wants to get rid of it at a reasonable price please get in touch.
