Let me share my experience with you all on fake uggs as there are still hundreds of people out there still prepared to purchase good quality cheaply made inferior products making mass profits for the sellers.

FACT 1 - Genuine Decker UGG TALL boots retail around £180 they can be had from USA sellers for around £139 + £22 P + P which equates to around £160 or £100 & £22 P + P = £130 for SHORT BOOTS (nancysuehanouk and uggplus etc)
FACT 2 - You cannot buy these Genuine Decker UGG TALL boots at around £100 on ebay - FACT. The seller has ebay fees plus paypal fees and at the price they can be accquired trade cannot put them out at this price and make a profit.
FACT 3 - Any UK ebay shop selling TALL UGGS at around £100 are good quality fakes, I can name them but for the purpose of this guide they shall remain nameless. DO NOT THINK YOU ARE GETTING A GENIUNE PAIR OF DECKERS UGGS FOR £100. REMEMBER THE MOTTO IF SOMETHING SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE THE CHANCES ARE IT PROBABLY IS.
FACT 4 - I see these UK ebay shops putting out loads of good quality fake uggs at around £100 and people are so gullable they are snapping them up thinking "ive got a bargain". SPENDING AROUND £100 ON A COUNTERFEIT PAIR OF INFERIOR QUALITY BOOTS WORTH AROUND £10 IS NOT A BARGAIN BELIEVE ME, YOU HAVE BEEN SCAMMED.
FACT 5 - If you have never seen a pair of Genuine Decker UGG boots you will be impressed by the quality of these fake boots. The fakers have mastered the inside label, the sheepskin still has a dye/laquer smell to it, the sole where the pattern tread meets the smooth area (front and back of sole) still has signs of a line across it but you can be fooled, as I say it is not until you see the sole on a genuine pair you will see the difference.
The heel label is sometimes poorly placed (not in the centre) and the "R" after the G in UGG is slighly above the opening to the G. The care booklet is scanned/copied and the writing appears slightly "blurred".
The boots come in a copied fake ugg box which is again hard to tell with no polythene bagging (the seller removes the labels and bagging which comes with the fakes. The stitching/material between the sole and the boot sometimes overlaps and is uneven, on a genuine pair the stitching is PERFECT all the way round. Check the PHOTOS on the auctions on USA seller "uggsplus" site. They show you a pair of genuine deckers uggs in the box, with the box opened, you will see what kind of bagging/packaging REAL uggs should have.

ALL IN ALL THE FAKERS GET BETTER AT TRYING TO MAKE THE "PERFECT" FAKE

IF YOU REMEMBER YOU CANNOT GET A PAIR OF THESE BOOTS FROM A UK SHOP FROM AROUND £100 - IT DEFIES LOGIC AND CANNOT BE DONE - SPEND THE EXTRA AND GET A GENIUNE PAIR FROM A USA SELLER - YOU WILL BE DELIGHTED - DO NOT ENCOURAGE THESE SCAMSTERS ON EBAY AS EBAY DO NOT SEEM TOO KEEN TO PUT A STOP TO THEM AS THEY MAKE EBAY PLENTY PROFIT TOO.
