And here we are: artifactsuk has replied – time to investigate?

So, to obtain some more information, I decided to contact this ebay-seller. Please read the story in my previous post if you’re not following.

Question for eBay object n° 130231705832: Islamic Brown Glazed Lion Tile 1100AD.
Hi,
looking at this tile, I can’t help but doubt its authenticity.
A person that lived in your area used to sell items like this on ebay until he was suspended. Are you in any way affiliated with this person?
The seller’s name was “bidancient”, Mr. Eftis Paraskevaides from the Paraskevaides Museum.
Did you perhaps buy the remnants of his stock?
Thank you for your answer.
Regards,

Surprise, surprise…
So I was quite surprised to get a reaction in the mean time. Here’s the response I received:
HELLO, I have indded bought the remnants of some stock at a good price therefore the prices on this site,but am more than happy about the authenticity. I will refund your money if you are not happy with the item.

Well, now at least we know one thing for sure! This guy sure is affiliated with Paraskevaides.
But I don’t believe this story… Why would Mr. Paraskevaides sell his remnants? He still has a store to run over at www.bidancient.com, doesn’t he? If anyone feels like commenting, please do. I’m absolutely dazzled here. Should I contact ebay?
