I submitted the listing below and was informed by eBay that it is not permissible to sell this watch on eBay, even if I describe it as a "fake" in both the title and the description.

The listing was:

Fake Rolex Day-Date Yellow Gold President Watch
Other Rolex (# 14328)
Wristwatches (# 3851)

This auction is for a genuine COUNTERFEIT Rolex watch. If you want to have one that looks and feels like the real thing, but at a fraction of the cost of the genuine article, then this IMPOSTOR is for you. <p>
<p>
This is a real replica; it is NOT an actual Rolex watch. It is a replica simply for novelty purposes. We do NOT expect you to pose it as an actual Rolex, even though people will believe it is an authentic model. <p>
<p>
It is a facsimile of the Rolex Model 118238, Oyster Perpetual Day-Date Watch known as "The Rolex President" and described by the manufacturer as "36mm 18K yellow gold case, fluted bezel, champagne dial, stick hour markers, and President bracelet." The real thing has a Retail price of $18,500. It can be bought through vendors on the web for $14,850.00. You can buy this replica at auction with no reserve and a very low initial bid. <p>
It was purchased in Hong Kong in 1994, declared to US Customs on my return to the US, and has worked fine ever since. It is a FAKE because it has a battery powered movement. Like the real thing, it shows day and date and has a sweep secondhand. It has no box and no owner's manual. This REPLICA does not have the roman-numeral hour markers on an outer bezel as shown in these factory version pictures. <p>
<p>

I thought by highlighting and repeating several times that it was a "Fake" that it would "pass-muster" but it did not, so my question is: Is there any way to sell this watch on eBay?

Thanks for your advice.
Lee

Just because you admitted it's fake doesn't make it ok.
