Pardon me for 'hijacking' the thread but in my view, ebay are slowly destroying themselves from the inside. I fully agree there would not be an ebay without sellers, but there also wouldn't be an ebay without buyers.

As a buyer you cannot give negative feedback on a blatantly fake item - it's automatically removed. Plus the business seller is given a positive review by the ebay bot  so another fake.  There needs to be a certain element of trust between seller and buyer and this is being eroded by ebay themselves.

Amazon went through a while ago the fake goods problem and took positive action to sort it out. Ebay are simply not interested instead adding a few pennies here and there to keep their income stable whilst alienating both sellers and buyers.   

The solution is simple. Employ the correct staff and start taking the business seriously rather than a quick money making buck for today as if things continue as they are then they won't have a business.
