eBay does act but they can't on a message from a member who sees an inconsistency on a photo, as some 'lazy' sellers do use other people's photographs, it is allowed, so may not actually be photographing the item they are selling. I know , it's silly but as said, not disallowed so you could be accusing an innocent person. On top of that, if a seller uses the daft , flouncy AI descriptions, it can add to making an item really look fake.
Another reason why eBay cannot act on messages , they do receive these claims of ' seller selling fakes' and this comes from competitors, it does happen.
What eBay do act on is cases. If a buyer receives a fake item they should open a case for item not as described for a full refund. If too many of these cases are opened, too many refunds recorded by a seller, it raises red flags to eBay and the seller can receive a permanent restriction, meaning a lifetime ban to sell anything on eBay.
If buyers act correctly and open those cases it helps eBay eliminate and ban these sellers of fake items.
