I already tried reporting it as a fake/replica, but ebay responded saying it didn’t violate their terms.
There are quite a few red flags on this. for me, the first thing i noticed was the radius of the corners. Second was how the energy symbols looked undersaturated. The most obvious however is the foiling.
There are about a million of these fakes circulating on Mercari. English and Japanese. Mostly high-end cards like gold stars, crystal cards, shining neo cards, uniqlo promos, munch promos, etc.
What’s funny is that there are a lot of good listings of mercari that I’ve bought from and have had zero issues with (unless we’re talking about JPN, in which I have no experience in.)
Rainbow charizard gx is a my personal favorite for fakes. Like half of the listings on ebay for that card are fake. And they pretty much always have a bid on them if theyre an auction.
