I'm torn on this one... Normally I would be all for sticking it to ebay. I can't stand the fact that they are constantly raising fees to the point it's hard to make money when selling things. However, in this case, I think it's nearly impossible to monitor everything listed on ebay. It sounds like they could have done more, but to completely eliminate all fake listings sounds impossible. just my opinion...

Yea I see your point but Im tired of this free trade sticking it to Americans; We have to do something.
