If the company asks ebay to do something they DO IT!
If the say its F⊗KE or its breaking thier copy right ebay WILL remove (scratch that DELETE) your products description and images and most likely suspend you . . .
It all depends if the COPY RIGHT OWNERS are assholes or not . . . A rep from ed hardy actually had the decency to call my ebay listed phone number a few years back (when you first where REALLY HOT and before their was alot of bootlegging of the brand) and asked me if I knew the products were not genuine and asked me to remove them myself so I wouldn't loose my ebay account . . . I thought that was really nice of them . . . I dont know what they are doing know but back then thier were really cool about it . . . . they ask me where I got the bootleg ed hardy from . . . lol . . . I told em china town . . . good lucky tracking that down . .. anyway different company have different policy's
P Diddy said publicly that he could care less if the bootleg "SEAN JOHN" he said that even the bootlegs where making his brand famous and because the market place's are not the same it REALISTICALLY does not hurt his sales it only helps them with FREE advertising - The "BOOTLEG" customer that shop from ebay's china sellers or at flea markets is NOT going to "MACY'S" to buy Sean John and vice verse - If anyone the MACY's customer will see the fleamarket customer wearing Sean John and say "hey I like that sean john I am going to macy's to look for it "
So you see it all depends on the company itself
