eBay Remains a Safe Haven for Selling Counterfeit Goods

There are tons of YouTube videos from people complaining that they bought an item from eBay thinking it was real, received a fake, and now they have to pay for return shipping, which isn't reimbursed by eBay.

I really can't figure out why a seller would side with eBay on this. Are you a seller? You lose when eBay allows counterfeits on their site, unless you decide to join in the counterfeit market and sell fakes.

American Sellers and buyers lose, eBay and China win.

I am not siding with Ebay.

In my experience if the item is not as described, the seller has to pay the return shipping. That is clearly stated in the agreement with Ebay.

Like I said, everybody has google. In the case that somebody bought an item with a major company name on it and thought it was real, but found out later the company never made that item, they could have checked that before purchase to see that item never existed.
 
If a seller on Ebay seller actually sold counterfeit items, their negative feedbacks would show this.
