Forged GRI stamps

[agmmga]

There are many obviously forged GRI overprinted stamps for sale on eBay but nothing gets done when I report them so I gave up.

How do I get eBay to take action?

In the link below there's a procedure to follow on the reporting, about halfway down the page - whether eBay takes any notice will be another story.

Hi 

I am fairly new to stamp collecting and have been doing a lot of research.

I believe that I have brought multiple times now Fake stamps.

I know this as I have been looking at watermarks.

What is going on? so many stamp auctions on Ebay are selling for over hundreds of dollars for

collections, lots used,

If they are legitimate stamps, than collections can be worth hundreds.

But if you dont do your research,  yes you could be paying hundreds for fakes.

You said you have done research,  maybe you need to research your research.

A lot of people on ebay selling copies or replicas as they call them but you only realise this once you have read the finer print at bottom of listing. These are being sold in the general stamp search categories whilst there is a proper category "Replicas Fakes And Forgeries" listed under "Philately". I reported this several times to ebay as it is annoying but they have done nothing and the the listings continue to proliferate. Regards Ron.
