Entrepreneur claimed Sheehan's face appeared on object Posted: August 22, 2005 1:23 p.m. Eastern 2005 WorldNetDaily.com
Online auction site eBay has pulled off the Web an ad for a baseball the seller claimed bore the face of anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, saying the ball was not properly authenticated.
As WorldNetDaily reported, the image on the ball looks like a sad face that could have been drawn with a typical magic marker.
Said eBay in explaining its action: "Due to a recent federal investigation into forgeries of autographs and certificates of authenticity, eBay will not permit any use of certificates of authenticity on its site issued by several authenticators. eBay requires that sellers identify who performed the COA, and that the company is not currently on our prohibited list."
