I read with raised eyebrows the other day when eBay made an announcement of a policy change which required buyers to destroy items which they thought were fakes, and then get a reimbursement for the fake item that they have purchased. There was certainly a really large loophole there to be exploited.
I mean, I could buy something which is genuine at a high price, and then cry that it's not authentic and proceed to "destroy" it. I would end up getting the item for free when I am reimbursed for the price I paid, if you get what I am saying.
eBay, after that hoo haa, has made a correction to their policy and buyers of items which they think are fake would have to return the item to seller and not destroy it.
Seller, on the other hand, if failed to prove that the item is genuine, would then have to promise not the list it on any eBay marketplace and n some cases, have to get the item destroyed by a third party.
Seriously, this is one complicated procedure. Why don't eBay just set up a similar marketplace for lookalike items? I am sure that would be even better business!
