This isn't even remotely true. The NFL does one or two high-profile busts each year but fakes and counterfeits are all over the place. The proportion of fakes in the NFL category is so high on Ebay that there's absolutely zero possibility that someone from the league is scanning and doing anything about it. Did a search just now for "Peyton Manning Broncos jersey" and dozens of fakes came up in the first page of results alone. Heck, a few years ago, Ebay put a fake Peyton Manning Colts jersey on the cover of the Christmas catalog they mailed out to people. They used it to hype the "great deals" people could find on NFL jerseys on their site.
And, of course, Ebay doesn't care about the fakes. Why would they? They create sales for Ebay.
