Again, with all due respect, the price tells you all you need to know about these watches. Do you really need to see the word "replica" in the listing to tell you that it's not the genuine article?
My point is, it's not worth sending your blood pressure through the roof fretting over these. Those who buy them aren't getting ripped off - they know what they're getting, as shown by the sellers' feedback. And anyone stupid enough to think that they're getting a genuine Rolex for £40 deserves all they get, in my personal opinion.
You've complained to eBid, Trading Standards and - presumably - Rolex. Let them do whatever they're going to do, and get on with selling your own stuff. If they do something about it, all well and good; if not, then they obviously don't care - so why should you?
These watches are but a small area of eBid's market, while there are numerous sites on the net selling nothing but fake watches, and they've been doing so for years. See Google for numerous examples.
It may be illegal, but don't you think the "powers that be" (and by that I mean TS and Rolex themselves, not eBid staff) would have taken steps to prevent it long ago, if they gave a damn?
In the grand scheme of things, these watches are a very minor problem.
the problem is that they are all over the front page, para. They make the site look tacky.

Did anyone see the Urine auction? If you think that replicas are bad, there is a seller (new I might add) offering Urine to submit for testing!!
This is sooo Illegal it's almost laughable...

And I have to say that I AM IMPRESSED GAZZA AND MARK!!! Wat to go- seller has a strikethrough. I only reported them 15 minutes ago...
That is why I sell on this site and not FleaBay.
HURRAH FOR EBID!!!

all replicas are not tatty looking, you get grades i believe of a aa and aaa - the latter being really good
now designs and patterns are a different matter - louis vitton is puke material lol as is burberry
i dont see the problem myself unless every single front page auction is for a replica and even in that case it wouldnt be tatty but simply boring
the whole world sells fake goods - if it doesnt do any harm whats the berluddy problem????
and one reason the companies dont do anything about it is because of the exposure
see 50 replicas of a lovely bag, you are more likely to go hunt down the real deal (if you can afford it of course)
oh and yes certainly not worth getting yourself het up about OP!
i can think of a hundred things more worthy to get so worried about

Emma, you may not think it looks tacky but I have had customers say that it does.
The companies do try to do something about the replicas but the market is flooded. The fact that ebid admin will not act on reports is the sort of reason why the market is flooded (and the real bags look just as tacky as the fakes, imho!)

Something to think of. Google got Sued successfully by LVMH in 2003 for linking Internet users to sites selling counterfeit versions of Louis Vuitton-branded items. Eb*y ARE getting sued by LVMH for allowing fakes to be sold and not being proactive enough removing them and their sellers.
Quote from TheRegister.co.uk "According to The Financial Times, ubiquitously-faked pricey bag maker Louis Vuitton is demanding €20m from eB*y. Christian Dior Couture, part of the same French luxury goods group - LVMH - reckons eB*y owes it €17m."
I would like to know how someone can sell a genuine $32,000 hermes bag for 200 bucks.
