How about this anology:
I start a website called "stolencars.com" where I allow people to auction stolen cars to people.
I didn't steal the cars, and I'm not selling them, so am I in the clear?

You're making the assumption that they are knowing willing accomplices, how can you be sure they are? They do remove auctions like this already, but like I said how do you know for sure which are fakes? Some are obvious, some aren't.
And once you start banning people, you have to manage them. What about the seller who is selling a legit item and just borrowed the photos from a google image search that happen to show a fake? Now can eBay be sued because they're limiting access on false pretenses. Making them responsible one way makes them responsible the other way too.
