ebay wont pull of the fakes, that is the problem. grad admitted it, spence admitted it, and they are the authenticators!

fakes everywhere with boxing, they dont care. emr's report it, who cares? no one cares over there.

--------------------------------------------------
from mr. cycleback's interview with Spence.

SPENCE: Based on what comes in for authentication that has derived through eBay there is serious reason for concern.* They basically take a caveat emptor approach and let people take their chances. If I was to get involved in a purchase I would use a credit card so that I have a way of placing a charge back on the vendor if returning the item proved to be a hassle.* Ebay has turned non-business people into a swarm of mail order companies that has been difficult at best to regulate.

relevent quotes from Grad on a collectors forum.

I too, have seen way too
many fakes on e-bay. *Yes, I have notified them, but to no avail. *

. . . . . .
*
E-bay, will never do anything about the problem. *Their main concern is making
money.

.....

Thank you for your time.

Now when the two biggest guys in authentication volume say that about ebay, what does that tell you?
