Lots of people seem to want fake cards these days?

I came across that seller on ebay a few months ago and almost bid on some of the items then. His listings are a bit misleading as the title doesnt state anything about being a reprint. Its only down in the description and I think alot of people bidding on some of those items do not read the description.

They’re more than a bit misleading. They don’t say “this is a reprint,” they say “I’m selling this as a reprint because it’s not graded, but the origin is unknown,” which intentionally suggests the possibility that it is original.

As someone posted above, the seller knows it’s a fake and is making a fraudulent misrepresentation. EBay really needs to crack down on that kind of stuff, as well as the sellers who put fakes in lookalike PSA slabs (just missing the logo). If I were PSA, I’d also be going after those guys for trade dress misappropriation.

He is also using this in each description heading "non PSA graded". This will bring up his cards when you search for PSA even though they are not slabbed by PSA.
I thought that was another eBay no no.

I flagged a couple of his listings, but there were only a few options on the drop down menu for reasons for flagging, and “misleading item description” or “fake item” weren’t there. So I had to go with shill bidders.

How can eBay not even allow flagging for misrepresenting an item? I get that in this case they would probably take the lazy position that the seller’s disclaimer was truthy enough so they don’t have to get involved...but to not even have it as an option to report a listing?
