Stopping a Crook on Ebay

[sports-rings]

I am a ring collector and I am having a difficult time getting eBay to stop a seller from placing fake rings on eBay. I am hoping the collectors reading this post can help.
There are fake championship rings available on eBay, usually priced way under $1,000 and it's very easy to tell they are fakes. Besides quality issues, none of the fakes have the manufacturer’s markings inside the ring.

A well known seller who has sold rings for years has within the last couple of years started to produce fakes and has priced them as the same price as "real salesman sample rings" and worse, they have the "Jostens" and "Balfour" markings inside the rings. These rings have been made to pass along as "real salesman samples" even having serial numbers inside the rings and sometimes "Not for resale" markings.

The more educated ring collectors know that the seller is having these rings made, with counterfeit manufacture markings and trying to pass them off as real. salesman samples are rare, yet this seller continues to sell the same ones over and over again. He has fooled a lot of buyers and ripped them off.

To stop this, I tried to put up auctions showing real rings alongside his but somehow he or his associates keep getting my auctions taken down. I don't want to have my account suspended so I am not sure what I can do.

By clicking on "report an item" on the eBay auction, I have asked eBay to call me so I can send them pictures. I reported the auctions as containing counterfeits. No one has contacted me from eBay and they have not taken the auction down.

I have attached some samples of real rings (always on the left) and the ebay seller's rings on the right. I also provided a link where you can see the seller’s auctions on eBay. (note he is selling a REAL broncos ring).

I have contacted: Balfour, Jostens, Major League Baseball, the Yankees and The NFL. I believe they are investigating him but to this day he continues to sell these rings on eBay.

I even have and have sent to the organizations mentioned above a pdf of his newsletter, where he clearly states he will make any Yankee ring for a ring buyer, so this proves that he is involved in making or selling fake rings.

Any advice or help would be appreciated!
