I already sent a notice to ebay.

The number for the auction isn't working for me. Also, please contact the seller of the item as they may not know exactly what they have. That is one of the rules on this forum from our Code of Conduct:
5) If you are questioning an eBay item, you must contact the seller first before posting any comments on this forum. It is irresponsible to call out an item without getting both sides first.

Thanks!

For the record, the seller clearly states in his description that the glove is made in Korea, and we should (hopefully) all know by now that A2000's were never manufactured in Korea. That information comes directly from Wilson Sporting Goods representative Francesca Campobasso, via an email to me on this very subject. The seller also notes that since the glove was made over there, it could very well be a knockoff. I don't see what the problem is here, am I missing something? The seller is being completely upfront and honest, isn't that what we want all sellers to do? What's the rub? I'm confused.

Well of course WE know better, but it is easy to forget that we are not the only people buying gloves on ebay....imagine the dad who played ball in highschool, but isnt as fanatical about gloves as we are. He buys one of these and thinks he got a great deal on an "A2000" for his kid.

Kind of the same way that a normal person cant figure out why a PRO1000H with an oval "R" goes for 150$ and used PRO1000H with a circular "R" and metal gausets goes for $350

Not to belabor the point, but the buyer is very clear in stating that the glove may be counterfeit. The problem that had been happening in the past is that buyers weren't being honest and upfront. The original poster is raising a non-issue.
