eBay tells me...."They allow forgeries" I'm NOT JOKING GUYS.

I brought up eBay seller: this-n-thatsportscollectiblesplusmore the other day and after going through his account and calculating how much money he has made on forgeries, I decided to call eBay yesterday. After being transferred around, I finally get a hold of someone in (Fraud Resolution) and this person seemed to have knowledge of autographs.

At any rate, I firstly explained my frustration with eBay allowing forgeries to constantly be sold on their site and how it seems that eBay has a serious lack of concern in relation to the problem of forgeries being sold on their site.

HIS RESPONSE: The Fraud Department does its very best to weed out easily identifiable forgeries and those of higher valued items by using Third Party Authenticators to look at items that have been reported. However, it is the buyers responsibility to do their own research before bidding

I then asked why Global Authentication is still an eBay approved authenticator with their reputation of authenticating thousands and thousands of forgeries on a monthly basis.

HIS RESPONSE: I will have to defer on that question because I don't have an answer for you. I will pass that comment along to the fraud department.

I then brought up seller this-n-thatsportscollectiblesplusmore who has sold over 250,000 $$$ dollars in forgeries all authenticated by Global Authentication. I explained that I go in weekly to report his items, yet they never get removed.

HIS RESPONSE: In order for an item to be removed it must be reported by multiple eBay users.

SO AFTER THIS WHOLE CONVERSATION, I feel that eBay is very passive on forgeries. Based on this conversation, it honestly seemed to me that they don't give a rats tail if people sell forgeries.

LET'S DO THIS...GO TO this-n-thatsportscollectiblesplusmore and report every item you think is fake. Let's just see if we all report if eBay will do anything about him. He has sold over 1,000 Tom Brady signed Helmets and Footballs and I have reported EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. By myself NONE OF THEM HAVE EVER BEEN REMOVED. Let us see if as a team, we can get action. So go look at the autographs you feel are fake and report them. Will it get a response out of ebay?

Excellent! I'm really glad you messaged him. When you say you messaged him, what you actually mean is that you are him and you came here to defend your countless forgeries?

FIRST OF ALL, I submitted 3 of his(YOUR) footballs to PSA quick opinion and of course they all failed.

Secondly, I have been in contact with ebay about this seller (YOU) and am trying to get him booted from ebay

Thirdly, This guy (YOU) has nothing but forgeries and I wouldn't waste my money bidding on that crap

It may sound harsh, but I hope karma shows up & something bad happens to steve nash. No, not the former NBA player, Steve Nash.

Hey Steve,

You must have misread your crib sheet. Chris is the one the forgery industry says lives in his mom's basement.

The truth is....I live in my mom's basement. I sit around in my underwear eating Captain Crunch and playing Pac Man all day. I then look at porn for an hour or two, after that I ride my moped down to the gas station for beer and pall mall's. I return home to drink and then comes my afternoon nap. I wake up around 2 pm to watch Simon & Simon.

That's a day in the life of yours truly. It's what I do. LOL =D

That's true, Steve.

At first, I though that Steve Nash, from Ohio, was referring to me.

Just another shill.

Congrats on hitting a grand slam on your first ever post on this site, "Steve." We're all rocked to the core by the same pantload of crap we've heard countless times from illiterate hordes of trolls like you.

I think we all knew "Bear" would be back pretty soon to defend his items under another assumed name. Im surprised it took him this long to make a new account. Everyone has seen it here dozens of times, and it is no less pathetic this time.

Hello Steve (Bryan? is that you?)

Your IP that you signed in here with, pinpoints you to Ravenna, OH - not Nebraska City, NE as you listed on your profile. And the email address provided, goes to an address associated with a sports store in Ravenna on a Google search as well. And the address for This-n-that collectibles on eBay as listed in the discussion above...

I have 5 different company names you have used for your "stores" as well. I'll leave those out for now because its pretty apparent your the same person listed in this thread.

Personally I don't have any opinions on the stuff your selling--I don't do sports autographs, I'll leave that to the others here, but I did find it interesting that you listed yourself from a city totally different than that of where your information points to and you "messaged the guy".
