    It has to be too good to be true!

    Spot plus postage takes it to $40.

    It will be a Fake - You notice the .999 - the decimal point in the front is telling you it is less than 1% silver

    Genuine pandas have the dot in front of 999.

    Quite possibly a genuine Panda in the photo, but you wouldn't get a real one in the mail.

    If you can endure the hassle of dealing with PayPal and eBay you can try :p

    That or make a dummy eBay+PayPal account, put in a credit card, chargeback if you get fakes.

    Interesting - You live and learn. Not being a coin person I never knew that.
    Are Panda's the only coins marked this way - Most of the stuff I ever see is just marked 999 with no decimal point.

    If you end up being the lucky winner, just make sure you at least weigh it to confirm that it does indeed weigh 1 troy ounce!

    There are many many fake pandas in circulation - and they all weigh less than they should - which is the giveaway
