I love it when people do guides on how to spot fakes.

Tells the Chinese just where they're going wrong and

how to improve their fakes.

I was going to say... professionals have problems spotting fakes these days, how is anyone here going to know.

I would say that if you are a buyer and you are not prepared to receive a fake don't buy on an auction site.

If you are a seller I would not list it unless I had a retail receipt for the item. I may not even then as it would be relatively easy for a scammer to return a copy after going through a dispute claiming it is fake. With the skewed logic that ebay seems to apply at certain times even having a receipt may not be enough.
