    eBay have a published policy on fake goods.

    If they have, my experience is that it's not worth the paper it's written on. 

    I have reported sellers of bootleg CDs to eBay on a number of occasions in the past (in an official capacity) and have either been ignored or told that the listing in question was in order.
    They do have a policy.
    Here:
    Counterfeit item policy | eBay

    I made no comment on how effective that policy is.

    Where exactly did i say that you did?

    You didn't (and you know very well that you didn't).

    I was commenting on your use of the word 'if'
    There is no 'if' about it.
    The policy does exist.

    I was pointing out that I wasn't in disagreement with you about how efficient that policy is.

    Please try not to be so prickly. 🦔
    Thanks.
