I would allow a designer exclusive rights on a product for 12 months. Then it would be open for anyone to sell that design. Also it would be against the law to mislead anyone in to thinking it is made by the manufacturer. e.eg. you would have to say this is a fake Louis Vuitton handbag.
As a wider issue what are products like this doing for society anyway. Women don't buy them because they are more practical or much better quality than any other handbag. They buy them because it's a fashion statement that says ' I'm rich and successful and I can afford to waste £1000 on this handbag' So good on the Chinese for allowing any woman to afford one and taking the snobbery out of our society.

Bascially Ebay is like the markets you find in Asia full of dodgy goods - hopefully this is just the start of the fines and there will be more. Wait til the American Lawyers really start on it, Ebay will have no choice but to stop the illegal sellers.
