    Nah theres stuff from everywhere . Its predominately chinese but theres stuff from all over the world . If you do a search for something on the left side there is a country list where the business is from to select .
    Usually the biggest profit margins are from chinese stuff thats why the market is flooded with ching fong gear.

    Stupidity on display. That's one of the most idiotic comments I've seen here recently. Honestly, you don't have a clue what you are talking about.

    Alibaba has been increasingly making efforts (at least they say they are) to ensure identified counterfeits are removed. They will be required to adhere to the legal regulations of the jurisdictions they operate within.

    Alibaba Teams Up With U.K. Business Body to Fight Fakes: http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2014/09/03/alibaba-teams-up-with-u-k-business-body-to-fight-fakes/

    It's is also a violation of Alibaba's listing terms.

    I eagerly await more rubbish form you on this.

    ^^ It is sad to see SS members fighting among themselves over irrelevant issues. :(

    I have identified 4 eBay accounts all with the same geographic location in Springvale Victoria which sell these fake bars and coins.
    I presume these accounts are the same person.

    The other 2 Ebay accounts are : k-and-y (almost 1000 sales)
    mr_golds

    I have reported these to eBay and notified Ron Currie. With over 1500 of these out there (already sold) it is a real worry to the SS community.

    If they are Australian currency coins made available in Australia then the AFP should be very interested in hearing about it: http://www.afp.gov.au/policing/counterfeit-currency.aspx

    "Legislation
    All State, Territory and Federal police are authorised under the Crimes (Currency) Act 1981 to seize and prosecute currency related matters. The legislation covers domestic and foreign currencies (including US dollars and Euros)."

    Well the numbers are no longer small and I hope the AFP get on top of this quickly. If Ron sees this post please let us know what is happening.

    As of today all sellers of these fake bars and legal tender coins are still selling on eBay. Twenty eight (28 ) bars / coins sold in the last 48 hours. Who would want these fake bars ? The only reason to buy them is to defraud the unsuspecting public. Please Ron and the PM shut this down!! I have lodged over 50 complaints to EBay and nothing has happened. Every single SS should be lodging complaints to overwhelm them.

    I have no doubt that were these $50 or $100 notes the AFP would have these goons in custody ! This is no different to a $100 note. Why has nothing happened?

    Agree!

    If folk use the "Report item" on the sellers page, eBay may eventually get the message; also, contact the seller. I've spent hours reporting counterfeit items in the last 12 months.

    I just checked using the eBay app and found some real dodgy stuff likely from the same seller. Will try to report them from the app (haven't tried it before).
