The policy of not selling fake goods?
It's illegal, against the law to sell or import fake goods full stop. It's not rocket science.
'People who sell counterfeit goods can face fines of up to £5,000.00 in a Magistrates Court and/or imprisonment for up to six months. '
As someone who knows a fair bit about the law (not as I've been in trouble, it's just a big interest of mine), it's a bit of a tricky one for eBay. If eBay are aware of you selling fake goods and that's the reason for suspending your account, they would be obliged to pass your details onto the police. If action is taken, you'll have to explain how your friend told you it's fine (and that won't wash with the law).
Those guidelines are purely the max and the maximum isn't ever enforced apart from very rarely.
You've learned a lesson regardless, don't sell fake goods online. Sure, you may think it's easy money but if you get caught, it's bad times.
What's really alarming is the fake Jordans you sold on the 4th were such great fakes that eBay have guaranteed the authenticity of them being genuine. That's sad news for that authenticity service if they are validating fakes as legitimate. It could cast huge doubt on that service and eBay have put a lot into launching it.
No sympathy from me I'm afraid. Fake goods is a bigger annoyance for me than the private account business issue as a lot of fakes are on eBay and it gives buyers doubts about buying from genuine item sellers. Costing many eBay businesses sales because people like you wanted to line your pockets dishonestly by knowingly selling counterfeit goods.
You've now modified your account about info from saying about 1:1 fakes. That's trying to cover your tracks but eBay will have the exact archived pages before updates so they'll still be able to see.
