Oh no Marissa I am SO sorry!

I love the fact that they take down authentic items, but won't take down the fake items that people report.

This really pisses me off!

Wow thats really bad of ebay, im really sorry to hear that.
Im trying to get into the whole designer bag thing,(im a poor student) and Ive always loved Dior saddle bags, so i decided to put a bid on one that said it was authentic and it was fake. the one i got though only had one picture and no authenticity cards or anything. but it makes me mad to think they take down the real ones, and leave the fake ones to sell. im really sorry this has happened to you

A fake Marc Jacobs bag, for example, won't be pulled until enough people report it.

exactly what I'm thinking.

Oh no! Thats awful! I've sold things on ebay and they've posted warnings about selling counterfeit goods, which is a cheek! I've saw so many fake R&R Jeans, Uggs, Juicy bags etc and some sellers seem to sell numerous fake items and get away with it. Maybe they should come up with some way of placing in a serial number or date code to clarify it's legitimacy. It's unfair to normal sellers that large sellers get away with selling numerous fakes and not getting pulled up on it! I feel bad for you, you should try and explore some sort of complaints channel.

I'm not an Ebay fan anyway, but this seems really unfair. How can they say something is fake? Are there experts on staff to verify every bag?

Usually someone else has reported it fake. I always thought they'd get the alleged "counterfeiter's" side first before they take the listing down but apparently not.
