So you are saying any marketplace (e.g. Ebay) is actually responsible for a merchant using them to facilitate fraud? Why stop there? Let's find the merchant processor complicit and the shipping company and the ISPs. Heck, I'm sure we could extend the net further if we wanted. Point being, unless the marketplace is actively courting merchants they know are perpetuating fraud, then how are they at fault? If they get a report of a seller that is selling counterfeit goods, they take them down. What more do you expect of them?

No, I'm saying a marketplace that knows, or reasonably should know of an ongoing pattern of fraud enabled and protected by features of its marketplace that does not take reasonable steps to mitigate that fraud but instead chooses to continue to allow and profit from it bears responsibility for it.
