Mark, you are dead wrong in this instance and even admit to the very tactic that PSA is rightfully trying to shut down. You admit to using a tactic that is meant to intentionally mis-direct E-Bay buyers.
Shady dealers who list PRO "graded" and other sham grading services were (and still are) routinely listing their card as "not PSA" so that buyers looking for PSA graded cards would stumble on their trimmed or reprint cards.
Although GAI is a reputable and respected grader, that doesn't change the fact that you also tried to intentionally mis-direct buyers (for your own profit as you note), which both wasted buyers time, but also is potentially deceptive to more novice collectors and E-Bay users.
I think what PSA is doing is terrific. You were correctly called out for what essentially amounts to false advertising.
