Why does eBay care?
eBay is committed to the fight against counterfeit products and we want to play our part in stemming the trade because:
- It's illegal
- Buying a counterfeit is a bad consumer experience
- Honest sellers face lower average selling prices
- Trust in our site is undermined by the presence of counterfeits
What is eBay doing to stop it?
At eBay, we are constantly looking at better ways to prevent counterfeit sellers from trading on our site, including:
- Proactively removing blatant counterfeits
- Removing items reported to us as counterfeit by brand owners
- Removing counterfeit sellers from the site
- Working closely with Law Enforcement to prosecute offenders
- Enforcing selling limits on items favoured by counterfeiters
- Restricting seller activity in certain categories
- Providing free tools for Right Owners to efficiently identify and report items to us for immediate removal
