He created a company called starzchasers that we discussed earlier in this thread that he claimed he had chasers running around for him getting autographs (yah ok).  Here is the back of Sean Connery with his homemade company sticker on his williethekid1987 account.

And then of course as seen earlier on one of the other two accounts when he had just started those, he buys positive feedback points, which is against eBay policy.

rockafellaz2000 sells positive feedback, purchased 8 times.

I see that williethekid1987 got negative feedback on this forged Prince signed photo sold on 27 April 16.  The buyer (who paid $178 for it) said:

defensive of questions would not pay 15.00 to authenticate buyer beware!

Took to professional - FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see that williethe kid 1987 has also given feedback to signndrive on occasion :)  'Fast shipping great seller'...That would be shipping to the same address, I take it :)

I really have no sympathy for those buyers who purchase that crap from those three Ebay accounts.

Yep those shill bids he accidentally won.  Remember I noted on one of the comments his account left, that he praised the fast shipping!  But the auction had ended at 8pm or something the night before and the person had gotten it already the next day....  Not too bright.   Cost him some money though I would imagine with eBay fee's....

He's such a loser.  As williethekid1987 he left feedback for signndrive (himself) at least once and graphwizard (himself) at least 10 times, all 'during the past year'.

His Shill bids:  In the past 4 days he bid on 9 of his own items a total of 39 times shilling the price up.  He won 3 of those, but six of them paid more than they would have.

To report his shilling, go to this item: (one he is currently shilling)

I'm not a collector of MJ autographs, but I happened to read through this entire thread today. This is a fascinating look into the world of a forger. It's pretty tough to believe that eBay lets this continue despite the mountain of evidence that it's all a scam.

Thanks for maintaining this thread.

To MN Collector:

Ebay could easily stop this, but they won't.

It's all about the money.

The irony being that the majority of people who buy autographs on EBay, don't have a clue about autographs and they have this preconceived notion that EBay filters out all forgeries.

In fact, for those that don't know autographs, EBay is the most dangerous place to purchase autographs.

eBay makes money with guys like this, so they don't stop them. 

I had spoken to eBay earlier last year about their reporting system as it seems to do absolutely nothing (this guy has been reported I would guess at least 500 times with nothing done), and they said that they were trying to implement a "report the seller" type feature vs individual items.  I asked when that would roll out and they were "testing it".  That again was earlier last yr, so apparently nothing is going to happen.  Or as I said in the first sentence, they make money.....

They did take down the items I actually called them on, which was good.   But who wants to sit on hold for 30 minute to an hour each time to report someone.

Ebay's "Reporting" system is a joke.

It's just a facade to make themselves look like they care.

They do care, but only about the money they make from the sales of forgeries.

Since Sept. 2011, thousands upon thousands of GFA (Stephen Rocchi) certed forgeries have sold on Ebay.
