eBay is banning listings for replica coins effective February 20. According to spokesperson Johnna Hoff, the policy update was based on feedback from coin collectors, buyers and sellers. "We expect this update to help people shop and sell more confidently within the coin category on eBay," she said. The policy also helps ensure compliance with applicable laws.
eBay is working with PNG (Professional Numismatists Guild), a nonprofit organization composed of rare coin and paper money dealers, to help ensure the coin experience on eBay meets industry standards and is an effective destination for customers selling or shopping for coins.
