Chinese copies

[mggumhill]

I am really amazed that the Chinese can make fake copies of reputable brand names and get away with it!

eBay does not seem to care that these fraudulent items are being sold on it's platform.

Surely fake items should be taken down once reported?

I am really amazed also.

After all, the pattern would be -

1. Item advertised as genuine at a fraction of the legitimate price;

2. Item advertised as in Australia with delivery times of weeks;

3. Seller registered in China/Singapore/Malaysia...

So which of those 3 obvious flags didn't cause alarm bells? Or did you think you could get genuine at way less than retail?

1. Item priced roughly the same as others - not a bargain.
2. Item advertised in Australia, took 5 days for delivery,
3. Seller registered in Australia.
So no obvious red flags!
Very good copy of packaging, just a fake inside!
