IIRC most police forces have a policy to not describe items as anything other than "White Metal" or "Yellow Metal" in their auctions regardless of whether they are hallmarked or not.
Here is an example - labelled "Yellow Metal" and later described as being stamped 375 from the bumblebee site:

I guess it stops them from being accused of selling fake goods if the "gold" turns out to have a dodgy hallmark.

As far as the final price goes, you'd need less than 50g of 9k gold to get your money back and there is going to more than that in the necklaces alone (if they are gold) And I reckon there are dealers on eBay that make a living spotting real gold jewellery and could do it at 50 paces!

Yeah, I'm quite good at real gold/silver spotting but the pictures were c-r-ap, so couldn't see!
