Could I get in trouble with eBay if I did this?

If I were to post an auction like this, could I get in trouble or take a feedback hit or something?
"1 1979 Wax Pack purchased from Overtime cards. I opened the other four packs which were very obviously searched. This is the fifth one. Want a bunch of VG-Ex commons? This pack is for you. $5.00. If you want more packs like this, but want a dishonest description instead, please view auctions from seller "otcards" or "overtimecards". Thanks!"

I imagine the most that would likely happen is they end the auction. I would however add the work "appear", such as "the other four packs appear to be very obviously searched.
Raw: Tony Gonzalez (low #'d cards, and especially 1/1's) and Steve Young.

Noted.

I like people who are not afraid to take matters in their own hands when the powers that be refuse to address an important situation. I also like people who are not afraid to enter a group pack rip instead of just sitting back and questioning the products or making fun of the people willing to participate because they did not get any of the cards they were searching for.

When did I ever make fun of anyone for participating in group rips? I'd really like to know.
sale of the listed item.
A "policy strike" will be attached to the offender's account. This can affect
search-results positioning on future listings.
A safer way to attack resealers is to buy and pay for their garbage. File
a SNAD, and leave NEGs. If enough folks did this, the resealers would
soon be driven out.
<< <i>You are bidding on a 1968 Topps Rack PAck. This is a real rack pack from Topps containing 36 cards , not one of those phony Christmas packs that are popping up everywhere. If you want the real deal , not something that was made in your neighbors basement then here it is. Thanks for looking and check out my other auctions for more high end collectibles. >>
<< <i>although I didn't specifically state a seller here is a description I used with a 68 rack pack and I did not get in trouble

That language is not a violation.
You are just pumping your product and contrasting/comparing it to other products.
Perfectly fine to do that.

"I have no confidence in SGC and ONLY sell PSA-graded cards."
That is fine.
"My competitor - EBAY-ID Johnx123XYZABC - is a crook and sells resealed packs."
That is NOT fine.

I remember that auction. I almost never search rack auctions but saw that one and commend you for the X-Mas rack mention.
Clown got me to, I sent him a check for $60.00 for 10 of those packs a couple of days ago. Feedback looked good and there was no hint of trouble and then this morning all his stuff is gone and he is NLRU. Called bank and stopped payment on check but my Bank is raping me for $32 for the stop payment. I guess better out $32 than $60.

Yeah - except most banks don't guarantee that the payment is actually stopped. it still could go through.
Even if ebay pulled it, I don't think you would get in trouble. In order to only provide info that is relevant to selling the item, you could list the previous auction number and seller's name. No harm in that. You might want to make sure to point out that you are an experienced collector for credibility purposes At this point ,we are looking forward to seeing the auction - please post the link if you do it!
