Why is China allowed to have replica items for sale that don't get removed?

I'd like to know why China is allowed to have replica Chanel earrings for sale.

Probably for the same reason Chinese items regularly appear at the top of your search and pretend to be located in Australia. Ebay love the money the Chinese items make for them and don't seem to care if they bend/ignore/break the rules.

People of some countries in the world do not respect rules.

China is one of them.

eBay and VERO program remove many listings but sellers of these just keep creating new ID's.

When it comes to Chinese listings, I think eBay have given up.

A bit like our Real Estate market ,

This isn't wholly related to fakes, but do you know eBay actually sells search information to Chinese manufacturers?

If something suddenly comes into style, eg say duffle coats made a comeback and lots of people were searching for vintage ones on eBay, you'd probably see thousands of listings for new ones from Chinese sellers almost instantly. 

This at least suggests eBay don't care about authenticity (except when they really have to), they care about high turnover.

Chanel is a participant in ebay's VERO Programme.

I'd say it's up to Chanel to police it
