No worries! It was great to finally chat with you Leon. Looking forward to some pizza in Chicago! And to all the drama kings out there - name issue was most likely due to my ex-fiance who hacked into my accounts a few years ago. So yes I'm real. Continue on with the convo. Hopefully this doesn't get me in trouble with Leon again!

Unfortunately, I only deal in real people.

I've never used VCP in my life, but I'm not sure why people are acting like their API being turned off implicates them in the "conspiracy".

There's certainly a legitimate conspiracy going on, but anybody who has followed Ebay for any amount of time, knows that they have been secretive of their bidders identities for years now, even if they might have been conveniently overlooking tools that revealed this exact thing (they have BTW shut down many other outside tools that has done this through the years).

It wouldn't have taken a whole lot of prodding from PWCC or even one of the bidders who were getting revealed in the Blowout Forums posts, for Ebay to shut down the VCP feed.

Why? There is a little bit of gotcha journalism going on where everything is being questioned. If you read some of the threads at Blowout where scammers actually try to plead their case, they usually have a long line of "not my fault, just following orders, was it really wrong?, God bless" that makes them skeptical of others who are actually telling the truth.

Ok, let me rephrase my post by only keeping the very last sentence then:

Even on Memorial Day weekend............which may have been the strangest "they must be part of the problem" statement, I read in this thread.

Half this country worked through Memorial Day Weekend. Hell, Lowe's was open until 10pm on Memorial Day.

LOL, really wouldn't be hard for Ebay to receive a complaint and press a button over a Holiday weekend.

Getting worse, if that's possible...

A 1951 Mays and 1934 Gehrig were just exposed on BO. The '51 Mays was graded "A" by SGC and then given a "5" by PSA

To the person who asked... The '52 Mantle PWCC Thread on BO has become the best one for information and updates.

Well then thankfully ebay has the intestinal fortitude to enable resellers and consignors to commit fraud on their site anonymously. If only they took transparency as seriously as Leon.

[HRBAKER]

Yes, it's quite the playground for the ill-intentioned.
Of which, this hobby has no shortage.

We're talking a company that once sent out a holiday catalog with counterfeit products* right on the cover. Integrity ain't exactly Ebay's middle name as I'm sure we're all aware.

* - Unsure of exact year but the product in question was a counterfeit Peyton Manning Colts jersey. They were touting that the average price for buying one was something like $37. The jersey shown was an obvious fake and a quick search of pretty much any name player will reveal that 90% (at least) of the jerseys on Ebay for that player are counterfeit.
