it's really not that easy for MAC to crack down the counterfeiters. This is especially true when the counterfeiters are located all over the world - could you imagine the legal costs and the fights involved to even get something like this to trial? every country's legal system is different.
at the end of the day it comes down to money. I am sure that MAC cares very much that there are fake items being sold. It damages their sales and their reputation (if the items are bad or dangerous).
eBay - they are harder to get through to. they have their policies on one hand, but then seem to also try the "hear no evil, see no evil" way of monitoring their auctions.

If MAC can't be bothered and eBay can't be bothered then theres honestly nothing anyone else can do and that PISSES me off to no end. I've lost hundreds of dollars on fake MAC and I know other have to but eBay doesn't care, MAC doesn't care, we are the only ones that care and when we try to do anything they take away our voice 
Stick to MAC stores if you want anything... Its the only safe way now |
