I see these kinds of eBay listings all the time: Somebody selling a mass-produced junk wax common for hundreds or thousands of dollars while claiming that it’s a rare error card.

It’s one thing if an uninformed seller makes a good-faith mistake; it’s another thing when each of a seller’s listings claims their card features some generic error. It’s bad for the hobby and bad for selling platforms.

Anyone have experience with this kind of seller, either online or in person?

So I reported this person to eBay right now you know that keepsake cards he is printing these cards obviously and trying to sell them for tons of money on eBay and my report to eBay was simple can I produce with my laser printer several baseball cards that I own maybe attach a piece of my underwear to the card and will call it a game worn Jersey. Seriously that is how blatant this individual was with his listing the very fact that he has sold cards is an outrage that is why all these reproductions facsimiles fakes they got a do something about it dude you see that video games all the time you see it everywhere on Etsy being sold but nobody ever does anything about it how many people have actually bought a card thinking it was genuine and legit only to find out that someone just got away with your money. Furthermore do they really have the signature of Moses maybe the Vatican does but I don't think normal people do. On top of everything else can we really trust eBay's authentication center? So I sold a Nolan Ryan rookie card to somebody for $910 non-graded on eBay. One month prior to this person buying this card for me he ended up buying that same card from somebody else on eBay it went through the authentication process only to find out that the card he bought eBay said was legitimate however he sent it to be graded they said it was fake he contacted eBay and his seller filed a complaint eBay refused to cooperate with him and refund him his money. And a seller never once refunded this buyer knowing that this item was not legitimate. Seriously it's a harsh reality to think that eBay is setting up a authentication center what makes them a pro at determining what they are receiving is in fact a legitimate item. Are they certified did they go to school for this where did they get their degree what makes them so sophisticated when they can't even get there beta collection price guide right. Not to mention but this buyer waited 5 and 1/2 months to receive his card from eBay. That being said do you know I felt bad for this individual so I ended up hooking him up because of his situation he sent me proof and because I'm such a good guy I sent him a 1960 Topps Mickey Mantle #350 in VG Condition for free directly to him not to eBays authentication center. Seriously I don't know if anyone else has gone through that same situation but if you have please let me know in the comments if you would know how this individual could get his $449 back from that seller let me know because he's contacted eBay and they refuse to help him. And I hate seeing honest people getting taken advantage of by corporations.
