It's understood that ebay can't police every listing but you would think they could run filters on categories that have a high instance of fraud and at least check to see if a seller that is offering items over (let's say) $25K is new, established or otherwise vetted. If the seller is not vetted, then ebay either terminates the listing or puts rules in place that require some type authenticity check by an authorized third party.
You would think that this would at least have ebay protect buyers and even help a seller, that has a legitimate high dollar item, maximize their earning potential and thus increase the fee ebay picks up.
