Wink no affiliation, happily breaking the rules

No affiliation with the buyer.
He managed to stuff my button query with stuff I have no interest in.
To me they all look fake. Good hunting.

He also seems very proud of them based on his prices!

Speaking of British cap badges quite a lot of fakes, yes. But there are definitely some genuine ones I see.

I do not understand. Why would you get banned?

For advertising an ongoing auction.

You don't get banned for that but you might upset someone else if they are bidding on it and hope that no one else has seen it.

You’ve sent a link to this chaps eBay shop not an individual listing and so far as I can see all his items are Buy It Now ? Not auction.

Besides since when was it against the rules to advertise an ongoing auction?

Indeed. If anything you might be helping him. However the prices are OTT and the shipping will be expensive and as you say quite a few are obviously not genuine.

This is genuine https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145601855...Bk9SR9SB_8CyYw

but at £70 it is twice what I would expect to see it sell for.
