That's likely an IP auto - it looks much like his other autographs.

I'll take your word for it. His recent autograph work doesn't look all that different.

Not surprised, the only thing they care about is money. I reported a card from a very well known large scale seller, and EBAY did nothing about it. It was a 97-98 Donruss Limited Gretzky/Marleau. They had it listed as the Limited Exposure parallel which it wasn’t. The Limited Exposure says it right under the card number, and the card they listed was clearly just the base. I contacted the seller and they didn’t respond so I reported it to EBAY and they did nothing. This seller/company has been in the business forever and has sold a ton of the Base and Limited Exposures for almost 20 years on EBAY and Beckett Marketplace, so they knew exactly what they were doing; search manipulation to get more eyes on it.
