One of the many problems with Ebay is that people buy and sell counterfeit items daily.  First of all, the buyer is tricked into buying something other than what they had originally intended.  Examples include receiving a counterfeit event ticket that does not work when the buyer gets to the venue or even as simply as receiving an empty box that the item was originally packaged in.  On the other hand, the people that are selling these items are receiving money for items that are, more than likely, worthless.  If these items do have worth then there is also a good chance that they are acquired illegally.  These items could include stolen goods or illegal copies of CD’s, DVD’s, etc.  This is an bad situation all around.
