  2. Ebay does not care if you are selling fakes.
    They do care that they get a cut.

    I have reported ebay sellers who sell fake seeds on ebay for years. Seeds such as Blue or Pink Sunflowers – and many, many others. These are seeds for plants that exist nowhere in nature. The Top Selling seeds on Ebay are all Fakes.

    The Sellers usually have pretty good feedback because the feedback is given based on speed of delivery as it takes many months for a seed to grow into the flower that it is supposed to be, so true feedback of the Fake is usually never recorded.

    I have NEVER had Ebay Remove even One of the Scam Sellers I have reported. Ebay will not even Remove the Fake Listing. They really piss me off (for many other reasons too) because they have a policing force that they do not have to pay a dime for, yet they do Nothing!

    I stopped reporting Scam Seller to Ebay a while ago as it is an extreme waste of my time. If a buyer wants to buy Fake Seeds for a Fake Flower that does not Exist – Well, perhaps they deserve to get Scammed.

  3. I see the counterfeit Forever stamps for sale on eBay, Facebook and other venues all the time. What I don’t see in the USPS policy is penalties for venues hosting those sellers. Big fines needed! That will stop it quickly.

  4. All these fakes are criminal activities. If Ebay does nothing after being informed, then they are aiding and abetting a criminal activity and can be criminally charged along with the sellers. As soon as this starts happening Ebay will start doing something about it.

  5. I have to wonder why the USPS is not reporting the counterfeit postage to the VeRO program. They are obviously the “rights owner” for the postage.
