reproduction vintage and new clothing listed in vintage category

reproduction or new clothing listed in vintage clothing - why is this misrepresentation allowed? As a vintage seller and sometimes buyer, I find that genuine vintage is outnumbered and lost in the vintage category by reproductions and new garments. You have to trawl through tons of fakes to find the real thing. It puts me off using Ebay for vintage, and although we sell on Ebay, if I want to buy I go to other sites where vintage is real vintage. Surely this would be easy for Ebay to fix. I mean, would they allow a fake louis Vuitton bag be sold as a real one?

Ebay does not allow it but the only way they know is if members report it.

Do you report the incorrect listings?

Try the vintage linen category. It is awash with new cushion covers and bed linen from Chinese sellers.
