    Very very interesting read, the cost better be affordable for buyers though.

    So is eBay aiming to completely eliminate knockoffs from the market or just knockoffs masquerading as authentics?

    Right now, it's somewhat clear to distinguish knockoffs when the brand is in the title however lower down, it's tagged as unbranded.

    E: things will be much easier this way.
