Selling counterfeit on Ebay is prohibited. Buyer can always get his money back. I have already helped a guy -you can check his story here: http://china-mint.info/forum/index.php?topic=5433.30 : see the post by PandaZoo - I had encouraged to join the forum and share his story.
What do you think of this offering. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CHINA-2000-...2279833?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item3a747a5e99
Wouldn't touch with 10 foot pole. GCN is horrible. They are worse than ANACS and ICG and based in Poland (not that there's anything wrong with Poland). They grade cleaned (read: scratched/micro scratch) coins and give overinflated grades. Also they probably can't tell fake from real as they suck. Even if the coin is legitimate it is not worth taking the risk I reckon.
From this angle it does look like there is a hole in Panda's eye. Also this angle likely burned all BSODs (black spot of death) with light. If you are considering, please ask the seller for clear straight photos without angle, so that BSODs are clear.
Quite a few years ago I bought a kung fu 1/4 oz gold NYC expo in one of those funny Chinese slabs , I always wondered if it was fake ,but I buried it away and kind of forgot about it ,I ran across it recently and took a hammer to the slab and cracked it out, after close inspection and comparison to some great pictures of an NGC pf70 I came across, I am pretty sure I got screwed , but you know what I'm going to send it in to NGC just as a painful reminder,Stay away from weird slabbed coins! i thought about throwing it up on Ebay before I cracked it out, but I just in my heart of hearts feel its fake and don't want it on my conscience. I have bought some old slabbed Anacs coins that worked out quite well for me STAY AWAY FROM WEIRD SLABS

Oh yeah - absolutely - that is my hand holding it. This coin fooled dealers initially, then I found this as a fake, and after much deliberation it has been proven as a fake. It was very interesting - a chain of dealers from big to small got fooled, as the coin passed down the hands.
Thanks for reporting this listing to us. I reviewed this listing and agree that it is a fake. As a result, I removed the listing. Again, thank you for your report.

I'm not an expert but yes they look fake ... of course for $1.25 they would make a nice conversation piece
