I think where eBay can come unstuck here is that they have been happy to keep taking money out of their business.
They only really employ technical people.

If they were to employ some 'experts' for each major section they could hugely clean up their auctions.
This would also give them the argument in court that they are showing due diligence and really trying to clean things up.

The area I use is full of blatant fraud and misselling.
I once discussed with an ebay rep just how easily someone could clean that whole category up.
It would also give potential buyers more confidence and help combat the notion amongst serious potential buyers that the site was a joke!
