An online anti-counterfeiting group documented a mass of cases where Ebay and sellers ignored proof and continued to present counterfeits.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know why networks haven&#039;t picked up on it; very large amounts of money are involved. Numismatics is a drop in the bucket by comparison. Link to press release at the bottom of the post.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ebay needs to change or die. Amazon is a genuine threat, an online commerce venue with far greater reach than Ebay which is known for innovation and operating at a loss so they can pour money back into building the company. That is a deadly combination for anyone they decide is a serious competitor.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ebay must become more reactive to both the good and the bad of sellers. They can survive this, although if FTC becomes involved (as the law commands them to, although you know how that goes) it could become expensive.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://globenewswire.com/news-release/2015/08/20/762315/10146752/en/R-Rex-Parris-Law-Firm-Announces-eBay-Faces-Federal-Racketeering-RICO-Lawsuit-for-Trafficking-in-Fake-Products.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://globenewswire.com/news-release/2015/08/20/762315/10146752/en/R-Rex-Parris-Law-Firm-Announces-eBay-Faces-Federal-Racketeering-RICO-Lawsuit-for-Trafficking-in-Fake-Products.html" rel="nofollow">http://globenewswire.com/news-release/2015/08/20/762315/10146752/en/R-Rex-Parris-Law-Firm-Announces-eBay-Faces-Federal-Racketeering-RICO-Lawsuit-for-Trafficking-in-Fake-Products.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
