BETSEY JOHNSON All the Fakes
There are so many cheap and horrible Betsey Johnson fake jewerly being sold on Ebay. People are buying it for a couple bucks and reselling it on other sites for $60 to $120, trying to pass it off as her jewerly. I reported one after another if these cheap replicas to Ebay and Ebay sent me back notices that they did not see any issues and they were not going to do anything. 😞 How can Ebay condone what these companies are doing to such a fun iconic brand like Betsey Johnson?

Just reporting a listing as fake will do no good. EBay has no way to employ experts on everything they sell to be able to know if your report is accurate. You say it's fake, the seller says it's not, they have no way of knowing who's right. For all eBay knows, you're a competitor trying to shut down the competition.
There are two things that eBay does pay attention to and that can get listings taken down. The first is 'item not as described' returns through the Money Back Guarantee. The second is a request for takedown from the rights owner. Your energies would be better spent reporting these to the Betsey Johnson parent company.

·1 year agoCounterfeit items are not allowed to be listed on eBay at all. No one is authorized to sell counterfeit items. That fact alone does not stop some people from trying to sell them, however.
The problem is that unscrupulous or uninformed sellers can list genuine items and then deliver counterfeit items.
It is not always possible to look at a listing and know in advance exactly what, if anything, the seller intends to deliver. For one thing, a scammer can simply copy a listing from a genuine seller, using a genuine photo of a genuine item.
Except for a few specific categories of items that go through authentication, eBay never sees what the seller ships or the what the buyer receives, so there is nothing for eBay to check unless someone complains about what was received by invoking eBay's money back guarantee.
Sellers are responsible for the descriptions they provide, and buyers should not assume that eBay screens the listings in advance.
As long as counterfeits exist and there are folks trying to sell them, buyers will still have to be on the lookout for them, and avoid deals that are obviously too-good-to-be-true, whether they are being sold by accounts registered overseas or by domestic sellers wittingly or unwittingly buying counterfeits from overseas to sell here.
Buyers that doubt their ability to distinguish a genuine article from a counterfeit one should only consider purchasing from trustworthy sellers that have an established reputation for delivering exactly what was described, and should avoid deals that are too-good-to-be-true, or deals that are offered by inexperienced sellers that might disappear soon after the transaction is made, or else be prepared to get items authenticated by trusted sources within thirty days to be able to take advantage of eBay's money back guarantee.
Instead of reporting the listing, report the seller here:

·1 year agoIs it fake or is it licensed? I have seen very inexpensive Betsey Johnson jewelry in places which are unlikely to be selling fakes.
Not my area of expertise, but many designer names which are not what they once were have been licensed.
