What a mess...
The old adage about not laying down with dogs to avoid getting fleas applies. You deal with "a breeding ground for fake signatures" and purchase an item that is turns out to be fake because you bought it sight unseen? Puh-leese...
A proper waiver or disclaimer is usually effective to eliminate liability for negligent conduct. Intentional acts like fraud are never proper subjects for pre-event waivers of liability. However, to prove fraud you would have to show that the seller knew it was a photocopy AND that you reasonably relied on a representation by the seller to the contrary. Since the seller states up front it is "Believed to be Not Authentic" you don't stand a snoball's chance in hell of convincing anyone you reasonably relied on anything the seller told you.
Stop doing business with thieves and you won't get burned.
