Jon,

You may just have the tiger by the tail. Each time eBay has been sued by a party getting stuck with a fake item their defense has been that eBay is just an mechanism to get a buyer and seller together and that they don't approve users (both buyers & sellers) so they have no liablility if a transaction goes bad.

I'm not a lawyer but what they are doing in your case seems to go against that defense.
