Don't hold your breathe, Alan.  The stupid fact is that eBay is not 
interested in any frauds unless it is reported by a buyer.  My wife's 
great-uncle was, with Remington and Russell, one of the three great 
cowboy artists of the early 20th century.  I am also somewhat of an 
authority on his work, and have advised Christies and famous dealers on 
paintings they were going to offer.  In daily viewings on eBay, I have 
spotted numerous forgeries purportedly by Uncle Bert, as well as some of 
his New Mexico "group".  Although other experts have given eBay the same 
warning, not once has spurious painting been withdrawn.  The standard 
reply was that they (eBay) simply provide a place where sellers and 
prospective buyers can meet, and they have no responsibility regarding 
any fraud.  Fortunately, we twice had better luck with the New York 
Attorney General who gained two separate convictions.
