Just reported as fraudulent to Ebay. If enough members report in the next 2 hours maybe it will help, who knows.

I'm not holding my breath, as many have, over the past few days/week also reported it.
The cert number matches but as you will see in the link, it is a completely different card in an obvious doctored/compromised flip.

I assume Ebay receives tons of these per day, but I'm curious how many even get looked at and even more curious how many are actually dealt with?

Almost all recent bidding activity is from the same account with 0 feedback. I doubt anyone actually believes this is a legitimate card. That flip is terrible. I reported it as well though just in case.

It may take a high profile lawsuit from someone who lost a large amount of money on their platform and a "discovery phase" of the many fraudulent reports prior to sale. Grace v Ebay was almost 20 years ago and once section 230 gets hammered its going to open the doors to platforms taking more responsibility.

Assuming fleabay doesn't have enough personnel to monitor all of the different auction categories. Even if they did, they really need to have "experts" in the field - even then, experts aren't completely knowledgeable on every card issue.

Does anyone know how many "reports" fleabay gets on possible fraud on their site in a day? Then, how many people do they actually have to look into those reports?

If you don't know what you're doing, chances are you're going to get burned on something.

Also, just because something's slabbed doesn't mean it's good.

Lots of shill bidding is a tip off to me, nevermind the obvious stuff.

So somebody paid $5,300 US Dollars for this POS.

Considering PWCC and Probstein are still allowed to rake in millions, and the fact that eBay failed to shut this one down pretty much answers the OP's question...

It is a hard "NO".
