Dealing with known crooks and not reviewing the items closely before buying is reckless.

I agree with your logic, but now you've got me curious. And I'm asking seriously, not just arguing.
Is there some line where an item is so different from what the description says that the disclaimer wouldn't work?
In this instance, they say it's probably fake, but the degree of that is beyond what you'd normally expect.
It's a signed photo, with a PSA sticker.
Except ...
It's not a photo.
It's not signed by anyone, not even someone signing someone elses name.
It doesn't have a sticker.
It is a photocopy of what was described.
I suppose they could say "sure, that's what we meant. It may not be anything but a photocopy of something"
If that actually works legally then I'm amazed.
I suppose if it was a big deal the actual path of recourse would be sending it to PSA as a faked sticker, then PSA going after whoever did the copying for copyright/counterfeiting or ....?
Not that that would ever happen since that would open PSA up to a bunch of photocopies being sent in.
