there are tons of sellers on eBay selling fake items

Replica Coach, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci

We all know there are tons of sellers on eBay selling fake items, from designer handbags, to perfumes, to just about anything! Why do they do that? They feel the designer is charging too much and do it on spite of them. Usually these replica items are made in the same factory that the real ones are produced in, at after-hours.

They want to advertise them as authentic, sealed, 100% guarantee, etc., however that may not always be the case. Therefore, I am writing this guide. Would you like to get that authentic Louis Vuitton bag for a good deal? Or would you like to pay full price for a cheap knock off? I'm thinking you'd choose the first option.

First of all, search for one of those designer products on eBay, anything from purses, to coats, to perfumes, and everything else in between. After you have done so, see if the seller has more than one of the same item listed, and check their completed listings to see if the same item you are looking at has been listed in the past by the seller. Usually, if your selling replicas, your selling in bulk, advertising as brand new 100% authentic, sealed in the box (or whatever the case may be), with receipt, etc. However, it is very easy to say all of that, and make, you, the consumer believe that.

Check their feedback. Even if they have one negative feedback, click on the item number and see what it was for that they sold. If it is anything close to your product, such as anything designer, beware, and move on to the next seller. If you see something and believe it is authentic, email the seller and ask for more pictures. If they refuse, it is obviously a fake. If they do not refuse, make sure that the logos/COA's are how they are supposed to be and real.

If they do have a large number the same item being sold, it may not always be the case, being fake. It may be that they have bought a lot of them, for a low price, and are passing the savings onto you. If you receive one of these items, and they are not authentic, simply report to PayPal, eBay, and point it out to the seller. In most cases, you will receive a refund.

Ten Ways to Spot A Fake (especially on eBay):

1) It has a tan or brown suede interior.
2) It's tag is on a piece of string with a little white plastic circle that has a brown LV on it.
3) The logos are not a caramel brown color but more of a green color.
4) The logos are cut.
5) The trim is not leather but PVC.
6) The zipper is not a YKK zipper.
7) The style is totally made up and not made by Louis Vuitton
8) The shape is crooked or lopsided.
9) A real Louis Vuitton would never have hangtags, stamps on paper tags or sticker on tags.
10) Call 1-866 VUITTON to know the retail price. It is important to be aware that there are no wholesale, factory rejects, clearance or discounts. No one is able to offer a brand new, authentic Louis Vuitton bag for a fraction of the retail price. Louis Vuitton does not endorse any private parties' authentication.
