eBay sellers who sell too many fake ancient coins to trust, in the opinions of members of the Coin Forgery Discussion List at https://groups.io/g/CFDL/messages).  This page addresses only ancient coins, not US coins or anything else. 
Revised Feb. 22, 2024.  

Note added Sept. 28, 2021:  Many fakes are offered on Facebook:  https://www.greysheet.com/news/story/three-numismatic-groups-admonish-facebook-about-ads-offering-counterfeits.  This fakesellers page does not address fakesellers on Facebook.

Note added Sept. 27, 2021:  Almost all coins on eBay attributed to the late Roman emperor Eugenius on eBay are modern fakes. They are not even close to deceptive if you know what a real one looks like, but so many (hundreds?) of fakes of Eugenius coins have flooded eBay that you might think they are normal. They are not.
Here is one modern fake Eugenius: 

Note added August 7, 2023:
Here is a fake quinarius of Carinus that I am seeing again and again: 

 

Con men gravitate to eBay. eBay has many good sellers, but also very many criminal sellers. Any criminal in the world can set up an eBay username and try to make a buck by selling fakes to innocent buyers. Many do and there is little we can do about it other than not become vicitims. 

To avoid buying fakes on eBay the most useful things you can do are:

1)  Avoid sellers listed below on this page, and on Forum's fakesellers list: 
http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=18502.0

2)  If you question a particular coin, look at
http://forgerynetwork.com/
which allows people to post fakes they have spotted. Go there and enter in the identification (for example, the name of the Roman emperor or the name of the Greek city) in the search box.

3) Look at the seller's other items. If some of those are fakes, the coin you are interested in might well be a fake too. 

4) Be aware that 100% feedback is not a guarantee that the coins are genuine. It is amazing how many fakesellers have very high feedback ratings.


eBay does not oust sellers who are reported as selling fakes. Some of us report fakes to eBay and they don't do anything about it to protect buyers. Most experts have given up reporting fakesellers to eBay because eBay does nothing. They claim they are "just a venue" and cannot be responsible for criminal activity on their site. What you can do it take our advice.

Here is a page which has more about avoiding fake ancient coins:  http://augustuscoins.com/ed/numis/fakes.html

For regular consideration of active eBay coin listings, join the Coin Forgery Discussion List.
Of course, eBay does not retain auction photos for long, so the evidence is mostly in contemporary discussions on the CFDL.
If you want to report an eBay seller of fakes, join that list and report the seller there.

For ancient artifacts that are not coins, join the AncientArtifacts group: https://groups.io/g/AncientArtifacts

About the list on this page.  

Even the major honest dealers can make a mistake and offer a fake, but their mistakes are rare. They are not listed here. This list is limited to dealers who have made too many mistakes to trust (and a large number of outright criminals).

Some of these fakesellers also sell large numbers of genuine coins, but a bit too often slip up and sell fakes (often of more-expensive types than their other coins). Given the large number of honest sellers, it is recommended you avoid sellers who sell fakes, even if a coin looks okay (It may be a deceptive fake).

Names of dealers ousted from eBay have not been removed. Fakesellers who become known or have poor feedback often retire their username and return under a different name.
