How can we alert ebay to fake or counterfeit goods being offered on ebay? There are masses of them,

Too many fake and counterfeit goods on ebay. Ebay don't take the problem seriously, in fact they seem to deny it happens!

What is the procedure to alert ebay to these crooks?

By opening a not as described case in the resolution centre. If every buyer did so every time then eBay might get the message. They are believed to keep statistics on selling. They most certainly do not deny it happens but have no way to identify what sellers list

On every listing there is a REPORT link halfway down on the right side. What you may see as fake or counterfeit is impossible to prove as you are only looking at a picture, and for all ebay know you are just trying to make trouble for a competitor.

Only a buyer can  really see what they have received and they are protected by the Money Back Guarantee, which is on every listing, but from the number of similar questions on here, very few people ever read it, and because of this the scammers and sellers of fakes thrive.
