Ebay Removed My Mickey Mantle Authentic, No-Brainer Autographed Baseball.

Yes guys, Ebay has done it to me again.

Ebay has once again removed an auction of mine that contained an authentic autographed baseball from Mickey Mantle.

First, just below, my authentic Mickey Mantle autographed baseball that Ebay removed two day ago.

As you can see, it is a no-brainer, authentic Mickey Mantle autograph on a baseball.

Below is the Message Of Removal that I received from a moron representative from Ebay.

After reviewing your eBay account, we've taken the following action:
- Listings have been removed. A list of items that were removed can be viewed at the bottom of this message.
- We have credited all associated fees except for the final value fee for your listing(s).

The listing that was removed appeared to violate eBay policy or a rights owner's trademark. Please remember that you are responsible for the quality and authenticity of the products that you offer on eBay. It is against eBay policy to list any counterfeit items.

For more information please see our Replica, counterfeit items, and unauthorized copies policy:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/replica-counterfeit.html

If you have more questions, contact our policy experts:

Please be sure your current and future listings follow these guidelines, keeping in mind that additional violations could result in the suspension of your account.

Here are the listings that were removed:
331411167616 - MICKEY MANTLE AUTOGRAPHED BASEBALL SIGNED BOBBY BROWN BEAUTIFUL AUTO

We appreciate your cooperation.

Thanks,

eBay

Please don't reply to this message. It was sent from an address that doesn't accept incoming email.

In my opinion, EBay is attacking me for my exposing of forgeries on their auction site.

In my opinion, Ebay does not like me exposing the sellers of forgeries that contribute to their salaries and bonuses.

Am I interfering with their profit machine from the sales of forgeries?

Of course I'm not; the sellers of forgeries have been running amok selling forgeries for years on Ebay.

Following "Operation Bullpen" Ebay was NOT held accountable for the millions of dollars of forgeries that were sold on the Ebay auction site.

Is Ebay now condoning the listing and selling of forgeries on their auction site?

This is the third time Ebay has removed an auction of mine that contained an authentic autograph.

While Ebay continues to remove my authentic autograph auctions, they allow and approve the listings and selling of GFA (Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators) headed by Steve Rocchi.

I have exposed numerous sellers of GFA certed forgeries, and as far as I know, Ebay has never removed a GFA certed forgery listing.

There is too much money and profits to be made from the sales of GFA certed forgeries.

Sellers of GFA certed forgeries include Ebay sellers Mccauleyjr2006, Roma-Jak, Dbvint123, Stevew6, Rbisportsinc and others.

The "Florida" forgeries are also a big seller on Ebay.

Ebay does not remove the "Florida" forgeries.

Again, there is too much money to be made from the sales of the "Florida" forgeries.

This Monday I will be sending my authentic Mickey Mantle autographed baseball to PSA.

When it comes back, I will have more to add to this thread.

What an intelligent reply.

Let the bad sellers continue to sell their crap, do not expose them for what they are, stay silent in the face of criminal activity.

What a reply.

I didn't realize there were quite a few of you who sell on Ebay and other places. Those of you who sell vintage baseball and football items, I would like to see what all you have. Please send me a PM and tell me where I can check out your inventory. Thank you.

Christopher, it would be great for you to set up a second eBay account and re-list the ball. Put a different name on the account and that would let you know whether or not you were targeted.

Thanks, Taylor, but I would never do that.

I know I am targeted.

Also, if I was to register under another account Ebay would know it's me simply from my IP address.

As long as your account is in good standing you can have more than 1 seller account. Many businesses do this to separate items they sell. I know a guy who has an account to sell phone accessories, another to sell wholesale goods, and another to sell random junk. It's mainly businesses that do this to establish their "brands" in specific niches, and it's within ebay terms and conditions. I suspect you are being targeted by the sellers in your videos and posts. No way that ball is not authentic. Crazy to think that there are tons of GAI Mantle baseballs ending and yours got pulled.

I too feel your pain brother. I spent a great deal of time showing ok trying to show the people at eBay the fakes and forgery's allowed to be for sale on their site. I tracked down company's that provided the COA for items. One had a rented domain site and was shutdown for non payment! Theirs a great and trustworthy company, I sent all the information to eBay and of course NOTHING happened. So eBay does not care about the fakes being sold to unknowing people. Do the people care well it seems they do when I sent a winner of an item the same information I sent eBay he was Very upset!! Yea the good guys win one! Well no not really Bay terminated my account for a violation of eBay policy! So it seems eBay does not care if people are being sold forgeries but its not right for someone to tell the truth. Hay that's fine they don't have anything I need anyway. Scott

Scott, thank you for posting your comment.

For a few years Ebay was doing a very good job removing forgeries, but then they realized there was too much money lost by removing them, so for the most part, they stopped.

Then they target the people who expose Ebay sellers of forgeries.

I will continue to expose Ebay sellers of forgeries.

Funny you talk about being "targeted" Christopher, you posted 3 of our items, right here on this forum as forgeries and 2 days later eBay pulled them. Now eBay accounts for about 2% of our total sales so it wasn't a big deal. I suggest you let all these nice people hear about you're history with our company that you seem to spread lies about.

Or should I?
