I'd rather see a court set some fair practice regulations for online auction sites rather than send millions of dollars to high end designers, who are likely more impacted by less spending in general that fake bags on Ebay.
They already have groups that monitor auctions to weed out the supposed illegal ones, but you'd have to have millions of eyes to monitor millions of auctions; I can't see a reasonable way for eBay to do this when I'm not so sure they should be responsible anyway.

Should the Herald be checking to see if every item in their classifieds is legit? Why is it the Herald's responsibility to ensure people aren't breaking the law?
