Here's how it works.
Let's say I am a competitor of yours.
I silently report you are selling counterfeit cards
and ebay takes this hearsay information as truth, and
they warn you. Now as a competitor I have one less card seller to compete with, and I could
do this over and over again.
Ebay has no experts so they rely on the public to report these things.
But they don't check for accuracy. They assume it's true.
They do this with all kinds of catagories.
It probably works some of the time, and
catches some counterfeit stuff coming into the market, but
it sounds like in your case, since you opened the packs
someone might be jealous of your product.
I have had this happen to me as well.
Sometimes the item was not copyright protected, sometimes
it was, but sometimes as in one particular case
I was suspended, but I didn't know I was selling a counterfeit.
Some of these knock offs are so close, only an expert can tell them apart.
In fact with cards as you know...many times just seeing a picture of it,
you can't tell....you need to see it under a micro loop for printing dot matrix patterns.
and in some cases you have to actually feel the card and the paper used.
That is key because I have had really good counterfeits that the only give away
was the feel of the modern paper. Modern paper is much smoother.
vintage cards have a texture to them. Since the person reporting you did not
have access to your cards to feel them, the report should be considered invalid.
I would try to call ebay and let them know these details.
Hope this helps.
