Hello,
There are hundreds of fake goods available on ebay.in
Copyrights are being violated openly but there is NO check at all.
When ever you report fake products or violation of copyrights ......
ebay asks
you to tell the Intellectual rights owner (people who own the brand / copyright)
to report to ebay.
Now who has the time to do all this ? ..... Nobody.
And neither do the Rights Owners have so much time to bang their head on such
a complicated system.
So, the Fraud Sellers are minting money.... and ebay is happy..... collecting
transaction fee.
The standard reply.... when ever you report copyrights violations is....
eBay is not an expert in your intellectual property
rights,
and cannot verify that sellers have the right to
sell the millions of items they post on eBay.
I am afraid that if thats the speed with which more and more fake products and
Copyrights violations
are entering ebay ..........then the day is not too far away .........when
ebay would be known as........
India's biggest FAKE
BAZAAR
ebay just wake up and simplify the reporting system.
Some hard steps must be taken to stop Fake products entering ebay.
Foolproof Sellers verification is needed.
There should be harsh Penalities for selling fake products.
Sellers must be required to submit their TIN number & PAN number.
I would request everybody to report Fake Products & Copyrights violations on
this thread.
Also, would request other members to post their views on this Topic.
Lets force ebay to clean up the site and make ebay a
FUN BAZAAR.

Hi Umang,
Fully agree with you. There are too many frauds and fake sellers operating on eBay. For me the Trust and Safety team of eBay is just to protect eBay from the legal problems it faces and does miniscule actions to protect the buyers once they have been defrauded. According to eBay's safety team, its mostly the onus of the buyer to protect himself, eBay shred off all their moral responsibilities in each and every rule.
Its always advisable to take more information for each member (like adress proof et al) , but what is more important is that eBay has to address and investigate each and every fraud cases or atleast report those to some competent legal authority. eBay is becoming a merry ground for the frauds without any visible evasive actions against them.
eBay can request for a compulsory survey from all its member. I think most will put a failed grade for eBay's T&S department. .

Hi Umang & Swarup,
I also agree with you both. There are too many frauds / fake sellers using eBay.
Even a 256 MB memory card is being sold as 512MB at cheap rates and the buyers get cheated.
To avoid fake sellers, eBay should verify all the seller's address like Election Card / Driving Licecese.
SMS Verification can be done with any mobile in 2 sec. ---------------

Dear Raha-da (amitava123gems),
The Chinese are definitely flooding the Indian market with sub-standard and fake goods. Their product quality in Europe is also far below the normal European standard we are used to. So the situation is still not that bad in ebay.in as you have rightly said.
Still, I think its better if we strive to make our standards and attitude comparable with the Europeans & Americans rather than with the Chinese. In ebay.in we still have not seen so many chinese fake goods but when some sellers are selling those, we must put our voice to stop those at the root and prevent any further exploitation and loss of buyers. People must know exactly what they are buying. .
