Ebay could easily reduce fakes and counterfeits in just a few short steps:
1) Require all buyers and sellers to provide photo ID in order to keep their account(s) and legitimate full contact information. AND verify it.
2) Immediately delete any listings that disclaim knowledge of whether something is a reprint.
3) If #2 is violated a second time, ban the person - not the account (hence the reason for #1).
4) If you're caught selling fake items, you get a warning. Second time, ban the person - not the account.
