ACE Authentication and EBAY seller andret3637

Seller ANDRET3637 Items are riddled with ACE authentication(banned by EBAY last I looked) which he sells for about 1/3 of the price of his own uncerted photo's of the same person. Look at this beauty where Scarlett misspelled her own name. Then he has the SMALL PRINT that states its your responsibility to ensure the pre certed item you buy is good.

Here is his conditons on buying certed items: Everything will be sold ’’as is", with no guarantees of any kind on my part, except if the signature is proven unauthentic by a reputable source. Please keep in mind that condition statements are merely my opinion. Buyers shall rely entirely on their own inspection and information. Statements on the "Certificates of Authenticity" are the opinion of the company or entity which issued the certificate and not those of the seller. The information contained on any such certificate is added to the description merely as an attempt to fully disclose any information accompanying the item, and in no way constitutes a guarantee of the validity of the information on the certificate. It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to verify the claims made on said certificate before making an offer on that particular item. When placing offers on items accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, it is the sole responsibility of the buyer to research the company or entity which issued the certificate and bases any bidding activity on the strength of the company which issues the certificate. No refunds will be given due to disputes over the validity of information contained on any Certificate of Authenticity.

It's true they can't be expected to just pull down auctions when any random person reports them. That would be quite the can of worms. I certainly don't expect an item to be removed because *I* say so, but the reporting process should act as a tipoff or lead for their fraud division (which ostensibly includes autograph experts) to take a closer look at the listing and make their own call.

It seems like that's precisely what happens when bad items are posted on this site. But within their own system, reports of the very same items just go nowhere. And a lot of times we're talking about comically bad items that should be pulled the minute any "expert" glances at them. That's why their system seems broken to me. Is anybody even looking at these reports?

eBay doesn't have any autograph experts.

Someone recently inquired on this site about a Doors "signed" Morrison Hotel LP. Roger Epperson commented in effect that it wasn't good, and eBay removed it shortly thereafter. However, the same seller was also offering other signed LPs, each with a COA from the same company that issued the COA for the Doors LP. One of those was a Jimi Hendrix "signed" LP that I also believed to be a forgery. I posted a pic of that LP in the same discussion, but it remained on eBay for over a month before being sold for $2,000. If eBay agreed that the Doors LP should be removed, why not look into the authenticity of the other related items? In my opinion, it was a completely unnecessary and avoidable loss for the buyer.
