Default Listing Reprints as "unknown"

This one has so many red flags, not sure where to begin?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ty-Cobb-1909...YAAOSwOVpXZINF

Looks like a reprint from the off-color and paper stock. "No returns". Seller tried to sell back in April and appeared to renege (see neg feedback - "God Bless" language and all). Now relisting again and look at the bidders - one with 4 feedback and 36 bid retractions in last 6 months bidding it up to close to $300 currently. I still don't know why eBay continues to allow this crap ??

My guess is the seller bought it, found out it was a reprint, now stuck with it, trying to unload as an "unknown" knowing it won't get two bucks as a reprint.

Seems like this game is a regular occurrence. You'd think eBay would require 3rd party authentication or stipulate returns for not authentic/not as described. I realize they will usually back you in these cases if push comes to shove, but it shouldn't even come to that.
