Have a scroll down this page for information about forged stamps on eBay. And, how little eBay cares for that too.

Jesus, thanks Jeff, is there anything they won't forge these days..it's a sad world sometimes and his story just goes to show that when an entity gets big enough they don't care as their making enough to cover the bad ones and that's not right :(
stamps are hard to tell at first sight, at lest with a coin you half a chance to see if it is a fake
I went to a coin and stamp show some time ago where one dealer had a xray machine speciffically to detect washed stamps and altered stamps. It is a pity that we can't get our hands on these fraudsters and deal with them face to face. Tar and feathering is not good enough for these so in so's.
Ebay don't care about fraudulent listings of coins and stamps that's true.
Its not unusual for Chinese duds to sell for hundreds even thousands of dollars...
There is little chance of prosecution in the court system and these frauds know it.
Even small claims is next to useless as I have found out.
Ebay is a cheat's paradise and it will get worse.
