All things taken into account, that's probably wishful dreaming...
Clearly there are lots of knockoffs and counterfeits, and very difficult to police, but the court didn't accept that arguement because the judge had sufficient evidence to suggest that eBay was turning a blind eye to it all.
Technically it is the manufacturer's responsibilty to protect their propriety property so eBay had a reasonable approach, but if one knows the counterfeits are there and they can be identified as such, then it is not acceptable to turn the other way and let it go on, which is where eBay got nailed by the judge. It boiled down to who knew what when and eBay lost.
Now that is all fine and good, but due to the amount of bugus goods on eBay, it's still pretty hard to manage the problem effectively or even efficiently. The end result is the quota limits.
Apart from the moral issues, once a counterfiet is discovered by a buyer and remuneration pursued, word spreads fast and all of a sudden you end up with hundreds of buyer with fakes and a mad rush to get in line to recoup the expenditure. Ususally the quicker you line up, the better your chances of recovery.
Over the past year, there has been numerous big dollar volume counterfeiters discovered and lots of clains to Paypal. It's not an insignificant amount of money.
While the new restrictions can be annoying, it is the price that has to be paid to clean up the mess and protects you as well as your customers. You can make a point of saying your items are genuine, but if one isn't an authorized dealer (if that applies), then that claim might have little effect. ut there will always be a segment of buyers who don't care if it's real or not, they just want the better price.
I suspect only the person wearing the merchandise would really know anyway, so you have a lot of work to do, to come up with a solution to the problem. I don't know your market so I have no solutions, but marketting efforts is probably a good start.:8}
