Cracking down on counterfeiters

I received two notices from ebay today about bids I made last week on "supposed" Motorola S9 Bluetooth headphones. Apparently the sellers were dealing in counterfeit goods. In addition, I purchased pairs from two completely different sellers that were counterfeit. I was able to get my money back in both cases. That equals four separate sellers that I had contact with last week who were selling fake goods.

I now know that the vast majority of Motorola products on ebay are fakes. I had to learn the hard way. If you're in the market for a Motorola product, you might want to avoid ebay unless you can get some sort of guarantee that the product you're buying is the real thing. If you have a Motorola product and you're wondering if its real, check out the following information from the company:
