Not so sure they try very hard. Tiffany sued Rolex in 2004 after buying several hundred items and finding about 75% of them were counterfeit. eBay argued that it has no obligation to investigate fake claims and denies having any expertise to do so. eBay won that case, which ultimately went all the way to the Supreme Court. That sounds more like avoiding responsibility than taking it.
LVMH also sued eBay for knowingly operating a marketplace riddled with fake goods. They sued in a French court and won. After about 10 years of legal wrangling a settlement was reached. They also lost a smaller lawsuit against Hermes. As a result eBay launched an authentication service for handbags. But not for watches. Rolex will have to beat them in court for that to happen.
