What is eBay's problem?

[Doug]

I'm not sure what's worse, the fact that eBay keeps letting these listings go where the seller won't guarantee the card is authentic or the people stupid enough to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for these things. Even funnier someone posted a question asking if it was an original or a reprint and got the standard "card was acquired from Grandpa's attic" answer. Amazing how everyone's Grandpa always seems to collect T206 Wagners or 1952 Topps Mantles of unknown authenticity. http://cgi.ebay.com/1952-Topps-Micke...mZ140500220625

Apparently the secret to making a fortune on eBay is just to list fake T206 Wagner and 1952 Topps Mantle cards that you don't guarantee to be authentic and people will still be dumb enough to bid...

No, the key to making a fortune on eBay is to list fake ANYTHING, sell it for what you can get while also OWNING eBay stock.

That way, you get the proceeds from the sale of fake items (which when done properly will have a HUGE profit margin) AND the price appreciation of eBay stock (since they wont kick the scam artists out and refer them to the proper authorities for prosecution).

I reported the card right after I posted this so I guess it worked (unless it just gets listed again). Ebay needs some help with their item reporting forms. There is seriously a drop down menu for reporting the sale of human organs, but if you click on counterfeit item all you get are choices regarding bootleg DVDs or computer software. Apparently it's easier to report someone selling a human kidney than a fake baseball card...
