Default Possible eBay Fraud?

Seller has no feedback, this is his only item. If a unsuspecting person were to buy this card, they’d probably be out 25 large. Isn’t this a crime that could be reported? I already reported the listing. Not sure if a post has already been made but just to be sure…

Thanks,
Curt

Default I reported it as well

I think it's great to out these idiots and make fun of them here - at the same time as doing our part and reporting them to Ebay.

It's clear to see he definitely put in work on this reprint. There are attempts to reproduce paper loss and tobacco stains, along with the cut corners as if the card was once part of an old-timey paper album book. The perfect centering is the most obvious red flag and indicates this person has zero experience with real T206s.

Still, in the end any buyer would have big hurdles to proving a criminal fraud. We all know which way the wind blows, but can you prove that the person really didn't know it was a reprint? The description was very carefully crafted to avoid just that.

I mean, this is a pretty big deal. There’s an actual chance a novice or else could buy this and be duped out of a small fortune!

Haha he says it's not worth the bother to get the card graded.
