I would imagine anyone can report an auction, but eBay isn't going to shut it down just because anyone reported it.

The only time I had an autograph pulled from eBay it was a Cal Ripken autograph and Ripken had it pulled due to 'property rights' or whatever. Ripken actively markets his autographs and has 'unofficial' sigs pulled from eBay. The sig was genuine-- from the ex-Orioles GM Harry Dalton's estate auction by Mike Gutierrez Auctions. So it wasn't due to authenticity issues and eBay said it wasn't due to authenticity issue. I ended up including it as freeby in an autograph group lot.

Also, the Ripken auto was a cut-- so it wasn't that valuable in the first place.

Harry Dalton had a lot of baseball autographs, but the neatest stuff he kept (and that I won) were his personalized GM season passes to MLB and the minor leagues. I thought those were cooler than autographs. And when I sold a group lot of his autographs, for the winner it was nice documentation of provenance to include one of his passes.
