Unfortunately ebay decided one day to disband the team and John eventually was forced to leave ebay.
The reason was obvious. Our work was costing ebay money in the short run by removing a large number of auctions. Their shortsightedness was so stupid. In the long run if the autograph hobby is hurt by the scum who knowingly sell fakes then ebay too will be hurt. But in their shortsighted thinking, quarterly profits mean more than long term profits, they have damaged the hobby severely.
The crooks are laughing all the way to the bank.

Ebay is an enabler. Period.
Look at the thousands upon thousands of GFA (Stephen Rocchi) certed forgeries that have sold on Ebay during the past five years.
