Ebay might be interested to learn that most Harry Potter fans are children,
Then where are the parents? You can't have an Ebay account without a credit/debit card or pay pal, and with pay pal you need your checking/savings account, checking isn't given unless one is 18, and savings should be monitored by parents. And, yes, I'm sure ebay realizes CHILDREN like HP, but *gasp* So...Do...ADULTS! *dies at this common information* Either way you look at it, Adults are involved. Don't blame Ebay if parents cannot control their children.

Meanwhile Hani Durzi seems unaware that I have advised Ebay repeatedly, through my legal representative, that many signatures for sale on their site appear to be fake,
Many and Appear. Hardly enough for Ebay to do anything. She needs to be more specific to Ebay. If I told someone that "many days it seems like everyone is against me" doesnt say how many days and it only SEEMS that everyone is, doesn't mean they are. Maybe they're authetic because they bought them from places JK DID send signed items too. If she can't say for certain that they're fake, then Ebay can't do anything.

but have yet to see any reduction in the number of forgeries on offer.
no, because there's nothing saying the person attempting to sell the item may have more than one account. Ebay removes the item from one account name and the person just puts it back up (under a different name)

After all, reputable booksellers and auction houses take steps to ensure that signatures are genuine BEFORE they put them up for sale.
Yes, but they are also able to look at the items and handle them. Ebay has too big of a base to be able to do anything about it. All they have are pictures. Ebay is impersonal.

The current situation has Ebay profiting from the Ebay users relentless scamming of Harry Potter fans
Um, she's never done business with Ebay, has she? Ebay gets money whether or not it sells. So she can't claim that.

telling them that they have no-one but themselves to blame.
True. If you're dumb enough to buy "signed" merchandise off Ebay, you get what's coming to you. Seriously.
