Here is one I need help with. I emailed this seller because of the fantasy Studebaker sign. They came back well it's not Andy Rooney and assumed all the signs they bought
"at an estate sale are old" I said not all new signs are Rooney and in my opinion all of your signs are new. They came back with I am wrong, all Flying A repos have an all red border. The back of this one looks to me like a repop.
item # 390598446537
Guys let me know what you think please.
Do I need to apologize or not.

Diane, no need to apologize. As Randy has stated, the sign you are questioning is a 'pop....

I also sent the seller a e mail that it was a repop and he said I needed to look at the closed listings and that it is original sign! This is the very reason I do not mess with e bay anymore , I guess I did it to be ornery , maybe I should be the one that's to be shamed for sticking my nose in someone else's business but I see this all the time on here . So where or how is it going to ever stop ? But I do want to say thank you to you guys who do take the time to help identify the original signs on this sight.


I like SINCLAIR and old American made stuff ... No china items.

The best way to handle this seller is report him on his listing page. Fraudulent listing activities. Just keep reporting....it is working.

Here's a couple I ran across today. This guy doesn't even try to make them look old.

Skelly pump plate- Buy it now $295.00 - #171043814485

Shell gas pump plate- Buy it Now-$495.00 - #171043927750

I like the disclaimer in his descriptions,

"To the best of my knowledge" and "I do not attempt to deceive.".... yeah, right.
He also has some originals for sale, but they say "original" in the listing.

ddkinsey, How are you reporting these on the listing page?

click report item box
then report category shows listing practices
then reason for report shows fraudulent listing activities
then detailed reason shows you suspect listing is fraudulent
then continue
then send report
I send reports all the time whenever I see a fake or a listing in the wrong category.
I also email the seller if it is one I am not familiar with I email first. This guy took the flying A down but that doesn't mean he won't relist.

SAPS says a lot doesn't it. Ebay won't tell us what they are going to do I just watch and keep sending reports. The more reports they get the more likely they will shut these guys down. Especially if the reports come from different ID's
We have been successful on getting many shut down. But it will be never ending. I believe we can slow it down a lot, but never stop it.
