Fake Tripp pants

[777artemis]

I purchased a pair of Tripps for my daughter for her birthday but when they arrived they were cheap fake copies. Not genuine Tripps. I'm still in the middle of a Paypal dispute to try to get a full refund of purchase price and shipping. In the meantime I reported the item to Ebay as being a knockoff but they haven't removed it from the site. The seller also has a few other Tripp knockoffs in their shop. Does ebay not care any more if sellers make cheap copies of iconic brands to sell here?

The word TRIPP is only used in the title.

If you scroll down to the item description, under BRAND, it states …. Fashionersldn. (Which is their own house brand by a play on the business name)

These are the little tips you need to validate before parting with your money. 
Unfortunately what this means for you is that you just might lose your INR case.

Next time, buy from a reputable seller with more favourable feedback.

Good luck.

Yeah, I can't say for sure if that was there when I purchased or if they've now changed it. I don't remember if I looked at that, but the design is an exact copy of the Tripp NYC brand anyway so they're definitely trying to get away with something here. I've since found and contacted a genuine Tripp reseller here in Australia and they have those exact same photos on their shop page. Needless to say my daughter was pretty upset when these **bleep**py knock offs arrived and weren't the real deal : (

Tripp appears to be a style of pants, that can be made and sold by anyone.  The item you purchased is listed as the sellers brand, so can not see the seller certifying their own product as fake.

You may have intended to purchase  pants  Branded  Tripp NYC, or Tripp Industries  and quite possibly a long line of others, but unfortunately that is not what you purchased.

The only revisions that have been applied to the listing since it was created, have been to the quantity of items available.

There have been no changes to the Brand, item specifics, photos etc.

You can check listing revisions, and brand name wasn’t part of revision.  
Sorry. 😞

This seller's pants are exact copies of the ones sold by Tripp NYC under the Tripp brand, right down to the colours, placement and shape of pockets, chains and eyelets and zip off bottoms. It's a blatant knock off job.

The  Brand is  TRIPP NYC,  Not TRIPP.   Don't know and dont particularly care if TRIPP NYC  has a copyright over any of the design features you find so appealing, or if they have simply knocked them off from the original fashion trend.

May well be a knock off, but that does not make them fake, and they are definitely not counterfeit. as they do not claim to be anything other than the sellers brand,  who knows, they may even come out of the same factory.

That may be so, but you have already stated that there were no tags or emblems, so they are simply a replica of the TRIPPS you are mentioning. 

Look, I know you are disappointed, but the facts are this seller isn’t selling fake tripps, but replica style. Now if it the pants had a tag or emblem that was definitely a fake, then you would be 100% correct.

Buy your child a pair from a reputable seller of the authentic item. Do your online buyer homework first, so you don’t end up in this situation again.

Report the positive negative feedback the seller has left and get it removed, and that’s about it really.  

Make this a hard lesson learnt.  Sorry.

My son has been wearing Tripp brand pants from Tripp NYC for over 15 years and there is a huge difference in quality with these. It's like any other knockoff where the stitching is not straight, the eyelets aren't properly centred and all the proper tags and logos are missing. I purchased these for my daughter because she wanted to have the same as her big brother but they are definitely inferior to the genuine ones. Anyway I've learned my lesson now to never buy name brand items on eBay but I still think these knockoffs should be taken off the site because others will be tricked into thinking they're genuine as I was.

[777artemis]

Then the title should say replica, not just have the brand name Tripp in it. If eBay is OK with this then they are allowing unscrupulous sellers to trick buyers into thinking their products are something they're not.

Would they allow a seller to advertise a "replica" handbag with Prada or Gucci in the title ?  Or replica sunglasses with Ray Ban in the title if they weren't Ray Ban? I don't see how this is any different.
