Sometimes the seller just doesn't have enough knowledge of the item, I am sure. That happens a lot.

However, it's fairly safe to assume a good third or more of the sellers on ebay are just ignorant. That covers the site in general, not specific to sports collectibles. SOOO many stupid people! Even when you try to help set someone straight, half the time you get resistance.

I'll keep this very generic, although I should have no problem outing this person, but I won't. They are selling a baseball as hand signed. It is one of those preprinted, souvenir stand balls. Even after providing a near identical example (just a slightly different year - even had some of the same player signatures on both balls) where the other seller correctly IDs their ball as printed, this seller still won't even remotely consider that their ball is printed! Oh, it's also ended 5-6 times or more at less than $10 and immediately relisted only to end for around the same price again and again, but there is a reserve on it so it has not actually sold. Apparently that is meaningless too.
