    You can now purchase eBay-branded gold and silver bars on the eBay website.

    According to Coin-World: "the two products currently available are a 1-ounce .9999 fine gold bar fabricated by the Perth Mint and a 10-ounce .9999 fine silver bar produced by the Royal Canadian Mint."

    I do not know how to post pictures, but you can view the eBay listings for these products here.

    Not sure where you saw that figure, but according to the listing, the prices are not out of line with the market:

    Perth Mint 1oz Gold Bar = US $1,181.80 [1061 Sold]

    RCM 10oz Silver Bar = US $163.50 ($16.35oz) - [6553 Sold]

    Also I don't think Perth, RCM, or eBay would tolerate fakes being sold in the quantities shown, especially by a very reputable US dealer.

    Sorry, ChipMunk: The eBay link you posted is NOT the one I posted - If you compare the URL, you can see that we are looking at very different listings.

    It is possible that you are not in the US, and are being redirected to a different eBay site?

    I am not familiar with the location shown in your profile, but I know that different countries show different listings, even when people search for the same things.
    You might enter the following into the eBay search line to find the listing I am refering to:

    Search for - "FIRST-EVER eBay & RCM 10oz .9999 Fine in Assay Silver Bar" or
    "FIRST-EVER eBay & Perth Mint 1oz Gold Bar .9999 Fine in Assay" the correct listings should show up. :) :) :)

    its an auction chip with a low starting price, you should try it sometime
    doesn't mean it will sell for $5 or that it is fake, it just means that it will sell again unlike your auctions
