Counterfeit Hearing Aid Scam

I recently purchased a pair of Signia/Siemens Pure 13 BT Primax hearing aids.  My audiologist called Siemens because they would not sync with the Siemens programming application.  The serial # in the devices does not exist in the Siemens database--which means they are not a Signia/Siemens product.  The seller approved my return and am expecting a refund shortly.

 

Knowing that there is a route to discovering counterfeit hearing aids before purchase, I've been asking other sellers what the serial number is on the devices they are selling--every seller has responded that, unfortunately, the item just sold and is unavailable.  Every single seller.

 

Is it possible for eBay to make inclusion of serial numbers mandatory in a listing?

This is Paypal not Ebay so why not go and send Ebay customer services that suggestion?
