I thought ebay liked me

Sorry in advance for the rant -- but I am somewhat irritated.
Typically when I contact ebay re: a bogus auction or a fake card or patch the auction comes down within a 24-hour period.
But now that someone has stolen a scan from one of my auctions and is offering the card for sale - I can't get any action
My Original
Auction
Stolen Auction Scan
When I talked to ebay Saturday evening the guy from Trust and Safety was like "yeah you are both selling a 53 Mantle card", my response was along the line of "it's not a DVD where every scan is the same -- the fact that I have the card means he doesn't have it and someone is going to get scammed". He simply could not understand what the issue was. If he is not the poster child for ebay IQ testing I don't know who is.

Just a suggestion!
Nothing against your card, but why would someone copy a card in that shape to begin with?

<< <i>Hi, you might want to contact them during regular business hours during the week. The weekend crew has no clue generally. I've had a similar circumstance earlier this year and one of the weekday powerseller reps actually told me never to call on the weekend if possible.

Draws less attention than a high dollar one. He can get a hundred or 2 with lower risk. Maybe a scammer in training.

That makes a lot of sense! I never thought of that! I guess that's why stupid people make the smartest criminals sometime!
"If you open the box then i cant give you yur money back. The package must be sealed the way i sent it."
The scammer is using the EXACT same picture to sell his non-existant one. The freaking idiot even copied the auction title. Ive emailed him, saying I'm interested in the Mantle, and he's trying desperately to sell it to me outside of Ebay (imagine that). The original seller contacted one of you and was basically told that it's nto unusual if two people are selling the same object. You've got to be kidding me! With every second that this scam auction stays live, Ebay is losing tons of credibility. Please do something about this clown!
No mine has no bends. Mint condition corners. Thanx

People like this are too stupid too live, and should at the very least be neutered.
