I'd think Ebay is in deep crap too, for allowing this Seller to make fraudulent/misleading claims. Now that the copyright infrigement issue is in quetion, Ebay might want to suspend the auction until matter is resolved.
Maybe they have a disclaimer to such things though.. just a thought.
I don't know copyright laws very well ..
I suppose if the have a really good lawyer they may try to claim they were not aware of Professor Fraud's painting
But I'm guessing they are aware now and if they don't pull those auctions they are in deep doo doo
BTW .. I want to say to the Reporter at CBS4 .. Great Job on the investigative reporting !!
