It should read Ebay Laughed at for its fight for fakes. Ebay is a joke.
What really makes me sad is that Ebay has never, to my knowledge at least, even tried to deal with fakes of antiques and vintage collectibles. Fake Occupied Japan or Nippon or Heisey or anything else old? Not ;in their interest, since they would lose the fees earned from the listings. Very sad, methinks, and condemable.
the former delusional ceo told the china sellers what fakes to make.
what a joke
Yep eBay has been supplying “most searched” data to the Chinese for many years. Telling them exactly what products to counterfeit so they can be sold on eBay.
eBay will NEVER do anything to offset counterfeits, or change any of their many unsavory business practices, unless they’re forced to by the government. Otherwise it’s business (schemes, scams, fraud) as usual. eBay are proponents of all kinds of fraud themselves. More money for them that way. At eBay it’s the only way since the marketplace and company are in decline and have been for decade.
