What is the most likely enforcement approach to a hypothetical situation where a person is commercially selling hand made copyrighted items on platforms such an ebay or amazon without any publicly identifiable information visible?

Assuming the way the copyright owners company (Huge corporation in this case) is made aware is by either a complaint or multiple complaints, would the likely out come be just having something copyright strike all the items on said platform? would it ever be legal action straight away? if so how would they know who the person is. The items wouldn't be to deceive, advertised as what they really are and are very low on cost to real ratio. Location europe

I am reading this as if you want to use copyrighted material in something you're selling. Even though the odds are slim, a huge company would fuck you raw from behind if they pursued a case against you. I've heard stories and they're enough to keep me far away from that line.
 
You aren't giving enough information.

There is no such thing as a "copyrighted item"

Are you talking about a trademark?

"handmade"

Are you talking about "cabbage", in the fashion world, items that are manufactured in the same factory as trademarked items, but accidentally "fall off the truck" ?

Or are you talking about "knock offs", items manufactured to look like trademarked items?

Advice: "Knock Offs" are serious business. Like Federal business. Like Felony business. Like organized crime business. Bad business.

Stay away. They will find you and they love to make examples of amateurs.

Hundreds of other ways to make money and being able to sleep soundly at night.

Advice: Create your own brand. Create your own logo. Sell your own merchandise.

Sincerely,
