I noticed this UK seller has started listing multiple copies of cgc silver age issues all with serial number blacked out

I see the same comic is also for sale in the US site

I thought they might be related but if you check out theirr Avengers # 3 cgc 4.0 you will see that another US seller has it currently for sale.

Does ebay allow this?

It's odd that the UK sell has this in their listing:  ***NO STOCK KEPT ON PREMISES***

[mikeyc67]

No stock on the premises where it hasn’t been bought yet.

i see that Tales to Astonish # 13 cgc 2.5 has an uplift on the US seller’s listing of £300 which after shipping and fees will see a profit.

He has allowed 15 working days or 3 weeks before shipping and estimated delivery of a month to allow the comic to arrive from the US. 

Very clever but also very obvious as the two listings by different sellers with the same picture appear as the first two on a search for TTA cgc 13.

So you think the UK seller is doing a "drop ship" thing?

You can't PM him either. I tried to send a message through Ebay and it said he wasn't accepting any messages.

FWIW the US counterpart appears to be accepting messages as the contact came up if you wanted to send anything there.
