Looks like Ebay Seller (and Scammer) Manattic also has "Private" feedback.

Typical Ebay scammer.

Carl I have probably exposed over 50 of these accounts. Literally as soon as one gets shut down, 2-3 new ones pop up the next day. "The Auto Scouts" was their original "COA/Company" name until I blogged about it and they took note. They yanked their website (after writing a hilarious excuse that they were compromised on the pathetic homepage).

They are a huge forgery ring that survives via eBay. They do everything in the book they can to stay "one step ahead of us", I know for a fact they read what I write over here. They take our autograph "tips", they do private feedback, they change eBay IDs/locations until the account is officially shut down. They also no longer mention the name of their "COA" they have that day, because they know I will blog about it and destroy it's reputation. I have seen probably 5-10 different "COAs". It's always just "Comes with COA/Hologram!" now on their auctions.

It's NOTHING for ONE of these accounts to make 2-3k a day... and eBay does NOTHING about it except dance in the money.

As I have said before, they are professional eBay scammers. Any popular athlete/event going on, they magically have every autograph anyone could want. Sad thing, is their forger is amateur at best. There is a special place in Hell for these clowns.

Here's another one eBay seller parry3719 isn't it *convenient* that when I pointed out they all have the same background for their description that *magically* they changed it? Junk fakes, professional eBay scammers.
