    HOT! 
    As a full-time eBay seller for over 7 years now i must say NEVER sell fake products. What happens is you grow your business and after several years of hard work you now have $100K worth of products and then you are caught for copyright infringement by eBay. Who do you sell all this stuff to? I...
