Jay -- one of Ebay's classic defenses is that it is simply an conduit, and it is not the direct owner/seller of anything that passes through an Ebay auction. If they start taking too much ownership on the fraud front, they possibly put themselves in harm's way of a lawsuit in the case that something does slip through (e.g. a fraudulent/counterfeit item sold as authentic) and they don't catch it.
