I  HATE  FAKES!

There is nothing worse that saving up your hard earned money, and finally investing in that georgous new designer bag or purse, only to find out you've been ripped off by a fake!  There are so many fakes on Ebay unfortunately.  Id hazard a guess at 95%. 

THINGS  TO  LOOK  OUT  FOR

• Sellers with very little feedback
• Sellers who are continuously selling expensive bags and purses
• Obviously, negative feedback
• Sellers who cant provide a receipt, or a reason why they dont have one

DO  YOUR  RESEARCH - DO  THIS  BEFORE  YOU  BUY!

• There are many websites available that can help you with determining if your new purchase is a fake
• Check out the things to look for e.g. serial numbers and where the product is usually made to see if they match up
• Dont be afraid to contact previous buyers and ask them if they are really happy witht their purchase

PICK  THE  ITEM  UP  IF  POSSIBLE

Its alot easier to get your money back if you havent handed it over yet!  Go and check the product out before you pay for it.  ALWAYS be wary of sellers who wont allow you to pick up or check out the item.

EMAIL  EMAIL  EMAIL  SOME  MORE

Ask lots of questions.  Never ever be afraid to ask questions.  Email them 20 times if you have to.  And if you dont get the answers you wan, or the seller is being evasive - DONT  BUY.  If the seller doesnt ever bother to return your email - DONT  BUY!

Finally - if you are thinking of spending upwards of $700 on Ebay - why not consider saving that little bit extra and buying directly from the real store.  It may cost you a bit more, but at least you know youve got what youve paid for.

There is nothing worse than seeing someone with an obvious fake, and just knowing that they have no idea!
