On this site we all know how blatent counterfeits are traded in some places but i got an Email from eBay with regards to this issue and guided to this page.
EBAY AGAINSTS COUNTERFEITS
This is all well and good but it seems to be us, the paying customers that has to try and spot these which can be very difficult at times.
Also many times i have reported goods which are blatantly rip-offs but are still on there days, even weeks later.
Also i have had items removed from sale saying they were copies when i know they were not (dvd's bought from a shop in USA) when i challenged it nothing was done.
I like eBay in general but with the higher listing fees etc and with the above topic its on a slippery slide downhill if its not careful.
Would like to know what others think?

Sometimes it does take awhile for eBay to get rid of the fake bags...I agree on that. I can sometimes report stuff up to 10 times and it never gets taken down & on other occassions I can report something once & it's taken down right away. Hard to tell why sometimes it takes longer............???????

Whatever it is that they are doing, perhaps they would be more successful if they tried another method to get to their goal. The current method seems to be rather ineffectual.
