[QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 834343, member: 7957"]You cannot expect eBay to sort through each and every listing they have to pull the counterfeits.

Even the entire secret service can do little to enforce many thousands of mails entering the country with one or two counterfeits each. Unless your friend from the secret service has another idea, I believe the only ally you are going to have in this fight is going to be eBay. They will enforce what they are made aware of, but they cannot enforce what they do not know of. Just as a for instance, I am presently in discussions with them about jinghuashei-multiple-shop-1 and his coins marked "REPLICA". I am convinced that they violate the law. Now I have to convince eBay. Other people reporting his coins would help. (Caution: A significant portion of his coins are marked "COPY" and are probably legal.) I do not know how else to say it, but I believe your biggest ally is going to be eBay. In spite of most people's opinion, they are trying to please the consumer.
