**Pack Fraud Update: Ebay kicks off pack counterfeiter (branscollection)!

As you pack collectors on these boards know I recently exposed vintage pack counterfeiter (hotstuffcollector) for "making" counterfeit packs using wrappers & singles he bought on ebay using a second user ID (branscollection).

After reporting this person and his two Id's to ebay a few weeks ago ebay immediately suspended both Id's. And today ebay finally NARU'd the (branscollection) ID. Hopefully they will NARU the (hotstuffcollector) ID soon.

It's like pulling teeth to get ebay to NARU these guys because they make both ebay & paypal money. But eventually if I keep up the pressure they usually act.

    Do you know if Ebay goes any further by reporting these guys to authorities? I ask because I purchased some auto cards on Overstock which came back from PSA/DNA as "? Auth". I reported him to Overstock, sent in scans of the cards with their PSA/DNA "?Authn" CS-I and he is now disabled. I can't get Overstock to respond about whether or not they report guys like this so I'm curious what you've heard from Ebay...?

    I honestly don't know. It's hard enough getting ebay to Naru these guys in the first place so it's hard for me to imagine ebay going beyond that.

    Well done - I'd vote for the resumption of public flogging for these scammers.
