Ebay won't respond to 1 report of counterfeit items,

As they never see item, there is no proof. 

Only if lots of actual buyers report item,then maybe ebay will take action.

Because eBay does not act on reports of counterfeits from ordinary member. Quote: "Only intellectual property rights owners can report eBay listings that infringe on their copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights". When they do, eBay will remove the listing concerned.

eBay suggests that "Members who are not the rights owner can still help by getting in touch with the owner and encouraging them to contact us".
