<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 3288375, member: 66"]It's required by law if the seller is here in the US, if they are actually in China then our law does not apply to them and they can list them without them being marked. Ebay at one time DID require the items to be marked and at one time outlawed fakes marked or unmarked. But now they do not actively police them themselves but rely on others to do the policing for them.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Sure, go ahead and invade China, find them and lock them up for doing something that is perfectly legal there. See how long they are in jail and you aren't.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now if you can find their customers here you might get them locked up for violating the importation provisions of the Hobby Protection Act, if you can get the officials to go along with you, or if you can find them reselling them you might get them charged for that. But the original wholesalers that are dumping the fakes here, well they are pretty much untouchable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
