My problem with eBay always claiming that they are only a venue is that if this really is the case, then they cannot be setting up rules to dictate what can or cannot be sold. Once you start doing that, you are more than a venue, you are controlling what can or cannot be sold there and at that point it makes sense that they then need to be held responsible for what is being sold there. Also, if they truly believe in cavet emptor, then why do they bother to make an attempt to remove counterfits and fakes? To me, if they are making an effort to do this, then they need to be held responsible for not doing an effective job.

eBay basically want to have their cake and eat it too. They want to let people sell just about anything they want to while giving the illusion it is a safe place to buy and sell, when it is not.
