Selling Replica Items

[rustify]

Hi all I was wondering why eBay doesn't allow people to sell replica items such as Louis Vuitton, or Chanel if it is listed as replica in the description.  I have seen people listing replica Louis Vuitton as LV rather than "Louis Vuitton" and starting bids at $20 rather than $200 however when I tried to list one of mine my listing was removed for a violation of the rules!  I know who the member is who reported my listing so why isn't this member doing the same for every replica item on eBay?  

Please help me understand this ruling and advise me on how to deal with this member.  I had in no way attempted to mislead any buyers in believing my handbag was real!

Lol, nah.

He could be stubborn sometimes, but I never questioned his ethics. 😉

Joe's an ethical person & a big miss from the boards, in my opinion.

I agree and one of the things I appreciated most about Joe's comments was that he often brought up another perspective on things that I hadn't necessarily considered, granted I didn't always agree with him, but I did often see things differently due to his input, he also added some humour which was often a welcome relief - thanks Joe, I know you're out there & hope all is going well

I am pretty certain that Joe is doing OK lol

if everything i said was not true.... ebay would not have deleted all my threads..

Lithium who run the boards deleted the threads because it's false information.

 Joe may have been a lot of things, but he is a top notch business man. I would defend him to the death when it comes to his business ethics. If I lived near him, I'd have absolutely no issues buying his products when needed.

You are not allowed to sell fake anything on ebay......you would not know who reported your listing.....any member who saw it and recognised it as a fake could have reported it.
