    Hi guys, these sound too good to be true. The seller is from Hong Kong, postage is free, 416 feedback at a strike rate of 100% positive. I know I'm new, but it sounds too good to be true. It got the nerves tingling, but I thought I'd come to the silver family and do some detective work.

    Ok, pretty sure they're not legit and if I've missed a bargain by posting this, so be it. 2000 10 Yuan Panda 1oz. .999 Ag, AU$21.58 with FREE POSTAGE WORLDWIDE. AND GET THIS: 10 AVAILABLE

    I don't know how to put pics in yet but they should link and you'll see m. Have a good day everyone. By the way, 113 have sold so a lot of people have been scammed or they've taken some pretty extensive steps to get this rating/record.

    It's fake, lots of black spots of death :)

    They usually just get zero feedback accounts to buy and then cancel sale to make it look like it sold heaps and get positive feedback.

    Might as well go straight to the source- especially for bulk :D

    http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...ONE-OUNCE-COIN-12-pieces-lot-wholesalers.html

    If you collect pandas and hav'nt seen this site before, make sure you're sitting down. and there are others. It's probably some sort of listing scam like fishball said,


    ..not that it makes it any clearer for me.



    Heres 10 Gold pandas for only $126: http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...Y-CHINA-Panda-Gold-Coin-Gold-wholesalers.html

    all are NGC NS67, and still in OMP ..BARGAIN!!!! ...



    OR, a slabbed 1986-P PR68 Ioz gold if you want to play it safe .. http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...-PCGS-PR68-SEALED-Panda-Coin-wholesalers.html

    There's a great price break for purchasing 30+. The photo is legit. and pretty good deal considering it has a Population of only 15 : http://www.pcgs.com/Cert/17288606/


    And it's not just Pandas:

    EAGLES http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=eagle+coin&catId=0

    KRUGS http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=krugerrand+coin&catId=0

    LIBERTY http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=liberty+dollar&catId=0

    Or any coin you want, just submit your design and specs ..

    Just have a look at the price - you dont even have to have the photo of the Panda being sold to inspect it for variations that show its a fake.

    Why would they sell REAL pandas that would cost at least $50 now for less than $25.

    It hs it to the right of the description near where it says Ask A Question and all that. Click on the number, then it shows the list of people and you can go from there.

    I noticed this in the morning and posted something in the Panda forum about it. I reported it as soon as i saw it however eBay only gives you 140 characters to justify your case on why its fake. This person would have made a killing with 132 sold. Hopefully all the payments will be reversed.

    Its pretty obvious that he hasn't sold anything related to numismatics or really anything in significant value. In fact everything is under a $1 with the items being mostly bracelets. Obviously this creates the illusion that the seller is legitimate since he has the high feedback rating. I'm thinking everyone who has bought this "Panda" has not looked at his feedback and put all their trust in the 100% feedback rating.

    This is great example on why a persons feedback should be checked briefly when making a purchase.

    He no longer has 100% feedback. Latest buyer reported that the coins are fake.
