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.

Yes, these are issues that they'd have to deal with, but I don't think that's too much to ask of a business as large as them.
IMO, they should have some responsibility to atleast put reasonable efforts into solving these isssues. Every other business has similar responsibilities, so why not ebay?
IMO, they are willing accomplices because it doesn't seem like the put enough effort into preventing it. Perhaps you disagree, but at the end of the day that's for courts to decide.
Clearly this one agrees with me that they havn't done enough and have been to hands off with this issue.
