Does anyone on the board have contacts at eBay? I think it would be helpful for us to understand how their reporting process works and how a seller who is reported for selling fake items can have his/her listing removed, and then be allowed to re-list the specious item.
It is mind-boggling and I'm sure a source of immense frustration for true collectors that these sellers are empowered to pollute the card industry with fake vintage cards.
Do you think eBay has some financial incentive to clean this up? After all, buyers who receive fake products can then use eBay resources to request a refund. This must cost them time/money in customer service. Or do you think it doesn't affect eBay's cash flow since many buyers unwittingly buy the fake cards but don't know that they've been scammed?
I would love your insights.
