| Why do counterfeits hurt the community?
eBay is committed to preventing the sale of counterfeit products because:
- It's illegal and harmful to the marketplace
- Buying a counterfeit is a bad experience for you and the
brands you trust
- Counterfeits undermine buying trust
- It's bad for honest sellers who deal in
authentic merchandise
What are we doing to prevent counterfeit listings?
We're constantly working to make our site safer by:
- Proactively removing suspicious items
- Removing items reported as counterfeit by brand owners
- Working closely with law enforcement to prosecute offenders
- Enforcing selling limits on some items
- Restricting seller activity in certain categories
- Providing free tools for rights owners to efficiently identify and
report items to us for immediate removal
- Partnering with brand owners and industry initiatives to
bring attention to and combat the issue worldwide
