Isn't there something that could be done about these fake Marksmans on Ebay?

Or are they working in some way where nothing can be done?

The title of the listing is "BUCK 830 MARKSMAN ANODIZED BLACK HANDLE PLAIN EDGE G&G HAWK FOLDING KNIFE VP"

Admittedly if someone bought one of those they would be partly to blame, but it's a shame Buck's name is being put on junk like that.
 
Probably not. Ebay is a cesspool of counterfit Buck knives now. Although eBay has a no counterfit written policy, the reality is they don't care and don't have to do anything about it. There was a lawsuit against ebay by Tiffany. Seems a lot of Tiffany items on eBay are fake. The court ruling was in eBays favor saying they were not responsible for the merchandise of the sellers.

Excerpt from Wikipedia article on the Lawsuit...
Organizations such as the International Anti-Counterfeiting Coalition (IACC), however, accuse eBay of “turning a blind eye” to the amount of counterfeiting that occurs on its website.[59] According to the IACC, 29% of online counterfeit sales occur through eBay.

Ultimately it is the responsibility of Buck (the company) to take action.

At some point, as a nation, we need to protect our copyrights and patents. May as well do it in a way to get their attention (and to remove their production ability).
