Something new on ebay. I bet they had to get permission first.

gold and silver bars with the ebay name on them.
I wonder if they are 10% short on weight so feeBay gets their cut

I would never buy them, too embarrased to show them. (wouldn't buy walmart bars either)

I would not buy either. Don't trust Ebay, the company is always wanting more. There is the pressure tactic "Limited Quantity" buy now or lose out.

No, if I click on it they will remember and constantly bombard me with ads.

I work in the printing business, which is the same as the advertising business. Any time I see a marketing word (you call pressure tactic) I ignore the ad unless i needed the product before seeing the ad.

My favorite marketing word is COLLECTIBLE. If I see that word on anything I go out of my way not to buy it.

ALL ADVERTISING IS A SCAM!

(but then advertising pays my bills)

I agree. If it says Collectable then it isn't. You gotta do what you gotta do to make a living.

Yup, kind of like the "collectible" home interior figurines, paintings and the like that low income people signed up to buy like there was no tomorrow!

I disagree. Advertising is not a scam. It allows people to know what products and services are available. Marketing on the other hand.....
