velo, let me tell you something that I experienced.
Once upon a time, I wanted to sell a well known brand item on eBay. I spent a lot of time searching for suppliers and wholesalers and did every security check and registration check that I could to make sure it was all legit.
They claimed to be authorized distributors of the product.
I contacted the people and asked if they were in fact one of their accredited stockists and they did confirm that they were and supplied me the relevant documentation that I needed to support this and any claims of non authenticity that may arise.
I then ordered stock.
In the meantime, the authoritive company must have started some investigation, and discovered that whilst they were in fact accredited, they had not ordered the items that they were selling, so could thus confirm that the items that were being supplied were not genuine.
They removed their accreditation.
My stock arrived, and it was fake. No question whatsoever, however, I did have this confirmed officially.
Now, imagine if I was a drop shipper and had those items sent directly to my customers and did not have a chance to inspect them for myself first.
Fortunately I had paid by PayPal, so I won my case and I would assume that PayPal did something about the fake goods thing.
Some people can go their whole lives and never really live for a single minute.
