Why are you allowing some overseas stamp vendors to sell forgerys?

I have noticed a lot more stamps being offered on Ebay that are forgeries even though they are marked on the back as "copies"
This not only confuses buyers of original material but will make the selection process extremely difficult on a platform such as Ebay where obvious "scanned Prints" and originals look exactly the same.
Any forgery should be marked as a forgery across the face of the stamp.
By leaving the face clear of such a mark, you are leaving the door open to unscrupulous sellers who can easily alter such a stamp by erasing the mark on the reverse.
There is a lot of trust put on the seller of stamps to sell material that is "real" and worth the asking price.
If you allow this to carry on, you will loose a lot of buyers like myself who will go elsewhere to get safe and original material.
