@2223-au,
I'll try (again) to bring forth on a platter the point that everyone here has already made (and made well; it's a bit of a mystery as to why you haven't absorbed the point).
You said:
❝Told ebay it was against the Law to post back and they said basically too bad❞
That is not what eBay said; that is your interpretation. You are riding a hobby horse here; when quoting someone, you should avoid using the word "basically" to avoid including a slanted personal interpretation.
You said:
❝Ebay are supporting fradulent sellers and also forcing customers to break the Law❞
In this instance, no, that's not what eBay are doing. They merely require that you supply evidence to support your claim that the goods which you received are counterfeit. That is necessary; that's how the law works. An unsubstantiated claim even in a civil suit (with lower burden of proof than a criminal case) risks being denied. In particular, an unsubstantiated claim where evidence should readily be available if the claim were true will not be viewed favourably.
By asking you to provide supporting materials, eBay behaved as required under the law.
By your failure to provide the supporting materials, you left eBay with no choice under its own guidelines.
However, you're STILL granted the right to a refund by being told that you can return the item. To cavil at this and claim that it's against the law to post a counterfeit item is to miss the point: you have failed to establish that this actually is a counterfeit item, for whatever reason it may be. Stubbornness? A sense that you shouldn't have to? Prove that the item is a counterfeit, and you won't have to post it back.
Note that I am not addressing the issue of eBay supporting fraudulent sellers in a broader sense. eBay.cn has different rules, arising out of China's own approach to intellectual property and the purveying of imitations. eBay does not always behave in a way that is lawful, but that's not what is happening in this case.
