davidi think that there is significant hipocracy in many of ebays policies. first, they offer a service that will authentic signitures, if it is found to be fake ebay will pull the auction. then knowing that the seller is already selling one fake will not investigate the other 50 autograph auctions that the seller has and pull those for being fake thereby allowing unsuspecting bidders to be ripped off because the do not pay the 8 dollars to have the auction investigatged by psadna. also, ebay has yet to offer such a service for baseball cards most likely because there has not been a large class action suit that has had the publics attention like that which was generated from operation bullpen. also, ebay will investigate and throw off any user that in any way infringes on their ability to generate fees, all the while continuing to ignore multiple complaints regarding fraud. what needs to be done here is for us to gather our collective contacts and have either someone from psa or sgc, since they are both stategic parterns of ebay, and have them contact ebay about an item then being fake. i am a biochemist, not a lawyer, but it would seem at that point that they would be on the hook for some sort of class action lawsuit and could not plead ignorance as they often do. as much as the scammers are to blame so is ebay for ignoring the problem, at the very least they have a moral responsiblity to their users to take a modicum and responable effort to ensure that they are not being ripped off
