eBay strives to maintain a marketplace that is safe for both buyers and sellers of numismatic material (such as coins or paper money), and has worked with the American Numismatic Association (ANA), the largest nonprofit society in the world for numismatists (coins and paper money collectors), to develop guidelines and policies designed to protect eBay members.
