forum policy regarding ebay kukri fakes?

It seems to me, there really isn't any driving force for companies like ebay to clean house on these issues... as long as they are making tons of money.

As usual, they are missing the boat on this issue. Who ever is managing this part of ebay isn't the brightest crayon in the box... first, it is destroying their reputation as a safe trading place (which will lose business over time)... second, (and more important to ebay) they are getting ripped off by these same "dealers" who posting a price of $0.99 or less for the item (in which ebay gets a percentage) and then charging $250 to ship the item (it may cost them $50 to ship) which becomes profit to the dealer and none to ebay. If everyone practiced this, I would imagine you would see some action and changes taken by ebay.
