i just reported it. it violates ebay's terms in more than 1 way. i realize it's futile, but it feels good.
read the description.
says. "This unlocked Smart phone is same as the iphone."
doesn't claim to be an iphone.

as far as replica standards go, it's debateable. the box nor the phone say apple or iphone, but the pictures could easily deceive someone (a gray area violation).
but as someone just mentioned, he describes the item as an iphone in the listing twice. it's in violation on that count.
Try reading the title first: "Iphone unlocked to use on any GSM & CDMA network"
Text aside, that's way too thick to be an iPhone. The keys on the visible side are also different (the one displayed is farther up and there's no ringer switch).
The software on the phone is also obviously fake because there is no space for a 4th row of icons, which anybody with an iPhone knows is supposed to be there.
Doubt it, the eBay page says it's in the United States, the guy that posted the other day was from Canada.
someone should make two ebay accounts and bid it up to a thousand dollars. Then when he files for a unpaying ebayer, just say that he is a liar and that you paid through another form of payment. That way it will majorly screw him over when he pays for the fees 
And as usual, if you read through the topic you will realise he does claim it. Look at the title of the auction; they are trying to pass it off as an iPhone.
It has a few.
But I think Nokias, RAZRs, etc are still copied a lot more often in China, etc.
