How to spot them on the Internet |
Do Your Homework: Find out EVERYTHING you can from looking at their price, ebay account ad feedback.
Price: If it's too good to be true, or the bidding starts at $0.99, it may be counterfeit.
Ebay Account date: If it's a new account, it could be counterfeit: They will often close one account and open a new one.
Number of Feedbacks: If they have no feedback, it could be counterfeit..
Feedback Items: If they sold 100's or 1000's of items that are $0.99 or less they are trying to buy good feedback. This is a common practice to create positive feedback.
Buyers that purchased the items: If they sold 100's or 1000's of items to one or several Ebay users, they are trying to buy good feedback. This is a common practice to create positive feedback.
Negative Feedback: If one or more customers complain about fake items, it's probably counterfeit.
