Yours is not an issue of authentication, it's a case of the item being completely misrepresented. A photocopy is not a "signed photo." If the item was listed as a signed photo, they should issue a full refund. Authenticity of the signature has nothing to do with it. The couldn't advertise a "car" and give the winner a cardboard cutout that looks like a car and say "oh well... Too bad."
I would file a complaint with the local law enforcement, any licensing agency and the BBB.
I echo the previous posters comments. When you patronize shifty sellers, you are allowing them to perpetuate their activities... Even if you are not the one getting burned on THAT day.
