False Counterfeit Reports | Selling

Hi.Ever since starting my eBay store at the beginning of last month, I have had four items removed for a violation of the counterfeit policy. Last month it was three antique coins and this time it was an ungraded baseball card. Absolutely nothing I sell is counterfeit, and eBay has been extremely unhelpful last time I contacted them. When I asked them to elaborate on how they decided that my items were counterfeit, for them to prove it, they refused to as it would "give advantages to sellers to game the system", and then said that they are "not comfortable with the item being listed".This is ridiculous. I have no idea why this is happening, don't know if it's a disgruntled buyer who's offer I declined or some buyer who decided to mess with my online business, but it's insane. Especially on a card that I listed for $12, like someone would be foolish enough to assume that I'd be breaking the rules by selling a fake card for that cheap... That card has been listed several other times, those listings are up, I don't see why eBay is discriminating against me for it. If this really is a disgruntled buyer, how is eBay going to just take their word for it and sabotage my business? I have no choice but to not relist those items, but all I want to know is why is this happening?
