Bottom line: They know what they are doing, and you know what they are doing. No need to give them the benefit of any doubt, or candy-coat anything.
A legitimate, ethical business operator who receives a ton of complaints on one small portion of their business doesn't just add a disclaimer. They will either figure out a way to deal with the issues giving rise to the complaints, or shut down that small portion of their operation (i.e. stop taking autograph consignments). The only thing the disclaimer is attempting to fight is the deluge of buyer complaints.
If an operator is determined to cross that ethical line without any regard for the damage to his business and reputation, pointing a finger at them and saying "You should stop that!" is not going to have any effect.
