Forgive my ignorance, but why would the Postal Inspector care about this? He's obviously never going to mail anything.

Because they have some jurisdiction over electronic fraud.

https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/aboutus/laws.aspx

"Electronic Crimes (18 USC 1029, 1030, 1037, 1343, 2701)
Inspectors protect postal customers from fraud schemes and other crimes that may occur online and involve the misuse of the mail or of the Postal Service. This includes using or selling stolen or counterfeit access devices, such as credit card numbers; using protected computers without proper authority or exceeding authorized access; using computer communications in a scheme to defraud; using a false identity when sending commercial e-mails to mislead or deceive recipients, as with spam; and unauthorized access to communications that are stored electronically via a communications service."

(red highlighting mine)

So, it's not exactly their area, but they can get involved if they want to.
Reports can be done through their website, or by mail, or probably begun by discussing it with your local postmaster or supervisor.

The link above wasn't working with IE, but worked fine with firefox.

You guys have been great, thanks for all the advise.

Not only have some of you reported it, some of the gc2 bidders have seen my fake gc2 auction with the warnings and also complained to ebay.

Yet, the relistings continue...

I did alert the bank over the weekend by email and will try to reach out today to the postal authorities.

Thanks for everyone's help. While this post was a little off topic, it is a reminder that we need to be careful in our dealings with auctions and buying off ebay.
