Altering Photos on Cards

Ebay is not going to fix this problem, in my opinion. Law enforcement is the better hope.

To Ebay, giving the buyer their money back IS fixing the problem. If you want them to do anything to censure the seller, you have to join a bunch of other buyers in squawking about one seller. If they start racking up lots of negs, not only will it affect the seller's fee structure and item appearances in "Best Match" searches, it will also raise the red flag that something is going on. I'm not sure how much or what percentage it would take for them to actually boot a longstanding seller, but a handful of isolated neutrals or negatives isn't going to do it.

The cards still go high, and don't look like past images when I find the cards in VCP......very odd.

I have run across this exact problem so many times (with post-war cards) that it has become frickin' ridiculous!! After filing the cases with ebay, I have yet to NOT get my money back, so they somewhat do the right thing in the end.

But, of course, as others have stated, ebay will do nothing to actually correct the problem and ban these scumbag sellers, because enough people accept the receipt of these altered-photo cards, so they make their revenue off of them. Pathetic.
