My point is the brands have a legit complaint, but with the sellers (and perhaps the buyers), not eBay.

True, but Ebays responsibility should be to assist fully to solve this problem - the issue appears to be that Ebay does not want to do anything (probably on cost grounds, but I guess ultimately they don't want to set precedents as they profit from all sales regardless if they are legal or not), cancelling auctions is not exactly a solution to problem, not even account banning - perhaps Ebay should use much stricter checks on who the sellers so that sellers know that they will be personally liable in case of such things. This will certainly reduce sales on Ebay, yet another reason why they don't want to do much and that's why they got sued.
