I understand your problem here. You've bought, you obviously suspect or know the item is fake and so I doubt you will be buying again from the seller, but the real question is-should the seller still be able to list the items on ebay as they do? They won't be conning you again but if it's a fake then it is a brazen con, that's the point, and other buyers could be taken in.
If you have proof and can contact ebay by phone, provide evidence then yes, I believe they should penalise the seller, pull the ads.
I think some of these ads on ebay are blatantly misleading. Not subtle, blatant. I have seen wedding gown photo shoots copied from designer websites and listed as the gown supplied from Chinese sellers, sometimes for $18.99. I know that for a fact because I saw one of my daughters' gown that I know is made in USA and is $2500 + in the shops here. I am surprised some of the designers have not complained. Maybe they have and ebay does nothing but I am also pretty sure a buyer wouldn't be getting the gown as shown.
I am in the process of buying some labels. They are from Malaysia, listed as Modular Mates labels and then in the listing as Tupperware modular mate labels. They look identical to the genuine Tupperware labels, but they lack the Tupperware logo at the top and are half the price.
These are probably blatant fakes. If they are good fakes and stick well, I can live with it. If they don't though, the seller better watch out.
Mine is a small purchase but what worries me is this seller and others from Malaysia sell a lot of other items as well and all are listed as Tupperware brand & they are not necessarily that much cheaper than you would expect so it waves a red flag to me-How genuine are all the other products?
I suspect ebay is flooded with fakes from overseas.
It's okay to buy a copy but buyers are entitled to know it is a copy and at the moment I don't think it is always clear on a lot of overseas ads.
