Of course they don't want you back.
Think of it this way
A widget sells for £10. You've found someone in China who will sell you a lookee likey widget for £1.00. As we all know Widgets are the must have thing right now. So you list your lookee likey widget for £4.99 plus £1.90 P&P - absolute bargain - and a right little earner for you.
Your customer, Mr. Punter, buys your lookee likey widget thinking he's getting a real bargain. The trouble is Mr. Punter knows a real widget when he sees it and he knows your one is not the real thing.
Still, it was only £4.99 plus P&P so no great loss. He just wont buy any more. You don't know this of course because he hasn't told you.
That night when he's down the pub with his mates he says "You'll never believe what happened to me, I bought this brand new widget off of Ebay and its a snide - total waste of money"
"You're kidding" says his mate "I was going to go on Ebay because I want a widget"
"Take my advise" says Mr. Punter "stay away from Ebay - it's a right rip off!!"
And Ebay have immediately lost 20 potential buyers and got themselves a name as purveyors of lookee likey widgets.
And then Widgets-R-Us Inc. who are the owners of the genuine widget trademark start court proceedings against Ebay for allowing lookee likey widgets to be sold.
Now, if you were Ebay would you really want someone on your site with a record of selling snide widgets?
