Sadly tho Chris, as you know by your vids, ebay does not filter out forgeries. So, Joe forgelicious will keep putting up fake Lebron, Favre and the like too, and there'll still be plenty of fake Vintage stuff too.

But, this is a great step, and w SCAT and hopefully soon TTA and Morales ont he banned list, then at least this glut of crap will be off there.

This is great news...also added to the list was TTA (Formally STAT Unauthentic). Thanks Truth for getting me worked up enough to speak out about all the horrible forgeries on E-bay. I think you had a huge hand in this. 4 years of popping off had to to have some kind of impact? Great job, keep up the fight, FUDD

There was a ton of "authenticated" items by Morales and Burczyk on eBay.It's good to hear they're banning his stuff.Thanks for the update.
I also thought Online Authentics was approved on eBay,but I guess they aren't any more.

Here's eBay's list of accepted authenticators:

Global Authentics LLC

James Spence Authentication

PSA/DNA

Here's a link to the COA section of eBay:

Online Authentics had good guys working for them but they might have gone out of business.

But yet Global remains....

Sadly, people work their way around it in the listing, and simply claim that their items "will come with a COA from a professional authenticator", and leave it at that. Ebay won't be able to remove an item simply due to the vague/generic description.

I believe according the ebay rules, it's not against their rules to sell items that have been authenticated by these people, it's only items that will specifically be listed as coming with COA's from these people that will be removed. I, would personally, never buy an item listed as vaguely as that, unless I was super confident in the item's authenticity. But there are probably a lot of people who may assume that just because an item is on ebay, that it hasn't been authenticated by one of the clowns...

Ebay should force all items to be listed as "With" or "without" COA and if "With" is chosen, the name of any or all authenticators "must" be indentified from an automated ebay list. That way they can still utilize and enforce their banned list, without leaving any loopholes. Other than simply listing it as without.
