I have bought 5 or 6 tracksuits here on Ebay, and they may come from sellers who guarantee that they are authentic, and their feedback is 99.9% etc, but believe me they are all fakes. I have bought from a UK seller who gives close up photos of the swing tags, but they were fakes. I have also bought a gorgeous looking one from Singapore, and have had 2 holes in the back seam

Crocs!!!!!
Hello there, This is a short guide to Crocs! They are the most amazing casual shoes I have ever had! Initially when I saw them I was a bit unsure and was not too keen on them but since I have managed to obtain a pair in a large enough size for me my mind has been completely changed. They are great. The shoes are feather light, which makes walking heavenly! They also have a weird kind of massaging footbed, which is extremely comfortable, with either socks or bare feet. It doesn't really matter. From experience, I would say that they are rather wide fitting and may come up a tiny bit bigger then expected, but I do have very narrow feet so don't be put off by this. I find the back strap a real pain so wear mine with it folded up, like a pair of traditional Dutch clogs. This way them being slightly too big is not an issue as they are meant to slip on and off easily. Amazingly comfortable to walk on and I would recommend them to anyone as an awesome summer shoe. Not bad priced either:

Just a note to let sellers know that buyers are using the new feedback system to threaten and scare sellers. Iv had 3 already since it started this week threatening me with negative feedback even though there was nothing wrong with the item. They are and i quote saying refund me or i will leave negative, i am letting you know i am just about to leave negative! ect ect, not even saying they are returning the item they are hoping for a freebie by doing this. What are sellers supposed to do now? why on earth have ebay done this? what if a buyer never pays for the item we can't leave feedback to let others know yet buyers can do it to us its just not fair, something need to be done its just not going to work.

All Ebay members out there , i would like to share with you my experience with this problem of fake Airmax 360 !!!Lately ebay is full of these fakes advertised as original ,authentic etc etc !!!Take your precautions ! I received 3 pairs of fakes lately !!!! 3 out of 3 !!!!I will show you pictures of an original silver / black shoe , and a fake white gold shoe.here are some points that you have to be very careful !!!1) Very clear and shiny air unit , the transparent part is a sign of fake , originals are a bit dull !!!!?in this pic is the original?in this one the fake2) the top of the tong is not well done and the outer side that writes airmax 360 come over the inside.?original?fake , the golden part is going over the white to the insideanother difference in the tongue is in the inside . the tongue in the original is attached to to the shoe with the same textile while in the fake is different .3) Take a close look to the little piece at the back of the shoe. in genuines the inside ruber piece is perfectly cut and placed.4) The outer sole is different !!! Very shiny outer sole, misplaced little rubber pieces under air unit in the heel?area of the outer sole are signs of fakes.?original , the litlle rubber cubes are placed very well ?fake , some rubber cubes are touching the heel rubber , obviously misplacedthere is also a small difference to the " www.nikerunning.com" writen but can't be seen in the pics.also the outer sole rubber material is different and of much lower quality in the fakes.5) Always ask for picture of the tag that is placed in the inside of the tongue !!! Fakes have just a number under the barcode while originals have 2 - 3 lines of codes !!!?original ,plenty of info !!!?fake , even the size is wrong , a 45 with smaller fit than 44.5 !6) the inside part of the sole is completely different between originals and fakes !!!??original , simple but does its job !?cheap " fancy " stuff just to catch the eye !These are the most obvious differences i found , off course the feelling is completely different when you walk .with originals you really feel the air under your feet and the springy effect while walking or running !with fakes is like you walk on hard plastic , don't even think of running !!!even the sound of them when you walk is is completely different.originals sound like pirelli sport tyres while breaking slowly to hot ashpalt while the fakes sound line you through down empty palstic balls !!!I made this review to protect the ebay community from this disease of fakes.I hope you find it usefull !This is not absolute and i didn't use any other than pics of shoes that i bought from ebay.I can't announc ehere the sellers i tried and have fakes .

Know when you have recieved fake designer clothes.
It can be very difficult when buying designer clothes to spot a fake before it is bought. There are a couple of good guides on ebay relating to specific brands, but for the rest you are on your own. However when you recieve it and it clearly a fake, there is no reason to accept it and write it off against experience. So how can you tell a fake?The absolute giveaway always is the material. Fakes by their nature are cheaply made and of a cheap often coarse material. If you you do not have a feel for designer materials, go into your local designer store in the nearest big town, preferably one that stocks a number of brands and just feel the shirts, trousers, jackets etc

How to break in Birkenstocks
If you're not used to Birkenstocks they can feel a little strange at first because they fit differently to other shoes and need breaking in. Birkenstock footwear works by supporting your arches, reducing the strain on the muscles or the foot. This guide has been written to give you some tips on getting used to them!
When you first try on your Birkenstocks, take time to walk around indoor sand get used to them. You should break them in gradually. Your feet should fit closely to prevent your foot slipping side to side. Because few people have perfectly shaped feet, new shoes may feel 'different'. Your toes may have become curled from wearing tight shoes, so make sure your Birkenstocks are long enough to accomodate them once they have resumed their natural shape. The Birkenstock footbed is contoured to match the shape of a healthy foot. Additionally, if you have worn high heels for years your Achilles tendons may have contracted, but Birkenstock footwear can help to restore their natural length.
Birkenstocks are designed to be worn comfortably, with support coming from the foot bed, not from tightly buckled straps. If might take a few days to get used to the feeling, but your toes will soon learn to grip the footbeds as you walk. The toe grips should be in the right place for your feet and some wearers can find the arch support feels prominent and "hard" initially, but as you wear them the footbeds will become softer and more flexible. Soon your shoes will adjust to the shap of your feet and form a truely unique fit that, properly cared for, will provide you with years of long lasting comfort.
Enjoy!

Already Paid for a Fake Anya Hindmarch Bag ?
If you have already paid for a fake Anya Hindmarch bagand would like to get your money back, this may help you
The first thing to do is contact the seller stating that you want a refund as the item is a fake and violates Ebay's policiesIf you have paid with Paypal, you should also advise the seller that he or she should use the refund link which is in the actual Paypal transaction itself. This enables you to get your money back without paying a paypal charge to recieve it and also protects you from them doing what I am about to explain here.
If the seller does not respond or refund you, then I would send one more message stating that if you do not recieve the refund, you will raise a dispute with paypal and log a complaint with ebay for selling fakes. The hope is here that they will not want Ebay or Paypal to become involved and discover the fact that they are selling fakes. Hopefully this will get a quick solution.
If that hasn't worked, then Paypal's Resolution Centre to contact the seller. That can be found as you go into your paypal account. If that dosn't work then escalate it to a claim with Paypal. Paypal will then look into it and may ask you and or the seller for further information. This can take some time, so you will need to be patient. If Paypal decide against you, then there is something called a chargeback if you have used a credit card to fund the transaction through Paypal.
If they decided in your favour and the seller has money in their account, Paypal will take it from there and give it back to you. If there is no money in the sellers account, then you may never get it back through Paypal, even though they claim to do all that they can to do so. Paypal will advise you if they find in your favour, but there is no money in the sellers account. If you have funded Paypal for the transaction with a credit card, you can now do a chargeback.

DON'T BUY FAKE POWER RANGERS SPD AND MYSTIC FORCE
Beware !!!!!!
There are now a large amount of Power Rangers SPD and Mystic force fakes being sold. I first noticed these on a local market a few weeks ago. They seem to be mostly 12" figures and Morphers from Mystic force and also the smaller figures from SPD.
At forst glance the Mystic Force figures look genuine however on closer inspection they are badly made and painted and look rubbish. The easiest way to tell is the BANDAI sign is missing from the box. Other than that you can't really tell the boxes even have the 3 and up warning sticker to try and make them look authentic.
If you see people selling sets of 5 SPD figures all in one pack these again are fake. Again the quilty of the figures is poor.
The morhpers were worse still and the mystic force fakes I have seen come in a box set. I have purchased an offical one of these from the US for my son and it comes on its own as nearly all of them do.
Be very wary with mystic force as none of it has been released in the UK at present so unless it has been imported legitamatley it will more than likely be a fake. I have noticed people selling these at the same prices as the real thing so be very very careful .

Nike Shox - Basic Fake Guide
There are so many fakes on ebay that it seems impossible to distinguish between a genuine and a clone.
However heres some tips to remember:
1) Always see if you can get close-up pictures. See stiching quality, fakes are poor.
2) Buy trainers with boxes and look for 'non-damaged' ones. Dont buy from Europe, states who don't sell without them. Boxes should be correctly labeled and not hidden in the advert. This is a huge flaw!
3) See the heel of the trainers, many fakes have faults with exact production of symbols. New shox have the 's' cut into the rubber.
4) Buy from seller who guarantees 100% genuine or money back.
5) Shox are widely copied so if your bidding on a 'BNIB' pair which retail at

This is just a quick one for all you Ebayers,when purchasing Prada shoes especially the one listed as "America's Cup" style that originals are a size larger than normal so for instance if your a size 8 you will be size 7 in these shoes.When you ask the genuine sellers they know this however you hardly find it mentioned in any listings and sellers will reply "I'm a size 8 and they fit me fine"i think not they are fakes then, to be honest most Prada shoes are a size up regardless of design so ask as many questions as you want if you don't like or don't get any answers then don't buy, a genuine Ebayer will be only

How to spot a fake Aquascutum garment
Aquascutum is widely regarded as one of the most popular 'traditional' British brands. Whether it be classic tailoring, or the famous house check shirts, the brand appeals to a wide range of people. As a rule, the brands suiting is not affected by imitation garments, however it's casual and accessories selection is.
The main way to tell if an Aquascutum garment is fake is by looking at the quality. Fakes are of a poorer quality and their poor workmanship will be noticable.
This is impossible to discover over the likes of eBay. However, you should look for the following when buying Aquascutum goods over the internet.

Using Nochex and bank Transfer instead of paypal
It would appear that in recent years ebay and paypal have scored an own goal, especially in the uk.
They have applied fees to everything they can, paypal has been freezing accounts for no reason what so ever, and then they banned the use of nochex on here, that was until the uproar it caused, They made a very fast U-Turn.
NoChex is a uk based company, offereing better protection for sellers than paypal ever has, better fees, better security, basically better everything. Thats why they banned them in the 1st place.
Ebay and paypal knew it was stiff competition from nochex, so decided to ban the use of them. But it was unfair trading by doing so. They DID NOT ANNOUNCE THAT NOCHEX IS ACCEPTED AGAIN.
its little wonder why so many people are leaving paypal at such a fast rate.
Nochex benefits are:
Lower fees,
Free to transfer money to your bank,
only 2-4 days wait rather than 5-7 days for funds to go into bank.
Very secure, requires more passwords than paypal.
Offers better seller protection.
Then there is INSTANT BANK TRANSFER.
Basically an instant bank transfer is sending money from one bank to another, its free to do, and takes from 1-3 days to clear.
Many people now prefer to pay this way which is why more and more people are offering it on their listings.
Its fast, safe, and can speed up transaction processes.
Benefits of intant bank transfer.
Exceptionally fast.
Free.
You do not give any more information than whats on a Cheque.
Convienient.
As a seller all you do is send your buyer your name as on the card, account number and sort code, plus the bank its with.

Fake Louis Vuitton
This guide isn't going to give you all the information you need, however if you combine many guides together you will have lots of fantastic advice. I own several Louis Vuitton items all bought at the Louis Vuitton store in Selfridges, Manchester.
To start, in my opinion you should never buy designer goods from e-bay, just for the simple fact that you miss out on purchasing it in an official store. Just think, you can browse the entire collection and have your name on the database along with having the original box and bags. Also the receipt will have your name and address on it.
However, some may want to take the risk and use e-bay so look out for these important factors:
As everybody else says, you cannot buy designer goods for much less than their retail value.
Visit the Louis Vuitton website and study the item in question: there are detailed descriptions that will help you on your way along with pictures. Check exact measurements on the website and make sure you are being offered a bag that complies to this. Check if your item should come with a padlock, some don't and fakes may have them.
All Louis Vuitton bags are made from one piece of canvas and the reverse of your bag should always have the LV facing upwards. Check for neat stitching, the quality of the leather (should always mature to a darker honey colour

Selling women's clothes - pricing your item correctly
OK, so selling your beloved clothes can be a heart-wrencher, and when you finally go to make your listing 'go live' it can be tempting to put a high price on what you're selling so that it won't go. STOP! That's silly! Here is my guide to pricing your gorgeous garments...What is the condition? Is it 'like new' or 'like poo'? Sorry I just can't resist a rhyme, particularly a toilet-related one. But is the item a pristine top you've only worn once for the occasion it was intended for, or is it a much-loved 3 year old woolly jumper in wearable but not wonderful condition? It's worth being honest with yourself about the condition of the clothing you're gonna sell to the good people of eBay.What did it cost new? Now, a pristine worn-once black strappy top from New Look is not worth the same as a 7 year old Karen Millen bias-cut dress worn 15 times. If a plain top cost you

The 'croc' on the label should definatly look like a 'croc' not a chicken! (and green der!) ...check for two tiny white eyes.. The buttons should be mother of pearl.... (kinda changes colour in different light)........... there should only be 2!. The material 'croc' is stiched on with a thin transparent cotton. The 'croc' should be between the begining of the openingon the polo (dunno what its called) and the first MOTHER OF PEARL button.. There should be no writing near or in the material lacoste crockodile on the front or on the buttons for that matter!. On the washing instructions....there should be...somewhere..writing of

Like many people out there the sight of a bargain is often to good to refuse. The bargain im going to detail here is football shirts. Like everything else from dvds to shoes there are people out there to make fake copys and rip you off.
Now take this for an example, you go to your local jjb, jd sports or sports world and spot this great new look football shirt, lets say this shirt is the new real madrid shirt. Your looking at this shirt and you noticed the price tag....

How To Spot Fake Adidas Superstars (35th, Adicolor etc)
This guide will detail the golden rules when it comes to buying Adidas Superstars on eBay.eBay is full of fake items, and it looks like this will continue for years to come. You cannot simply ask a seller "Is this item authentic?" - if they are dishonest enough to deal in fakes they will happily lie and say they are authentic. The only way to be sure is to know how to spot fakes yourself.Golden Rules1. Feedback - always check through a sellers feedback. Any mention of fakes (however old) then leave them alone.2. Photos - to be sure of what you are getting you'll need to see actual photos of the item. To be sure that these are the sellers photos they will need to include their eBay ID/tag within the photo itself. Many fake sellers use stock photos taken from PickYourShoes or similar websites, or simply steal other ebayers images. If the seller has nothing to hide then they should happily supply more (tagged) photos on request, if they dont then it's a risky purchase.PYS stock photos (eg not taken by the seller)Actual Tagged photos3. Common sense - if something looks too good to be true, it normally is. FACT - most of the 35th Anniversary Adidas Superstars on eBay are fake. Maybe a percentage of 90% fakes is not an exaggeration these days. It will continue this way if people continue to buy these shoddy replicas. Genuine 35th Anniversary shoes are highly sought after and worth a lot of money - eg

Bidding Techniques and Auction Winning Secrets
To bid - or not to bid, that is the question.
Thankyou for taking the time to look at this brief article. As a real-life auctioneer and valuer, I can hopefully offer you a little insight into real life auction scenarios, which you may like to consider applying to your ebay bidding techniques. Either way, I hope you will find it interesting.
In a real life auction room you will find many bidders, some experienced, some not, some professional, others not so professional. You will also find, if you speak to the more experienced bidders, each will have their own particular techniques for bidding, and for securing that bargain at the best possible price.
Here are some examples of bidding techniques:
JUMP BIDDING This is where the bidder will try to frighten off competing bidders. For example, if an item is being auctioned and the bid is at 80.00 going up in increments of 10.00 at a time, then the jump bidder may attempt to frighten off competing bidders by offering a much higher bid, of say 150.00 - that can frighten off the other bidders and grind the auction to a halt. It can of course have the oppositte effect too and encourage other bidders to jump in quickly, almost with a sense of panic, assuming that the item must be worth far in excess of this amount.

First and Foremost, all Sunwear Manufacturer's give their specific Glasses, model #'s. You should ALWAYS be able to ask the seller what the model # of the frame is, and they should be able to give you that info. Secondly, color codes are given to the sunglasses as well. A code of YB7 for example is a silver color, or 807 is usually black. A few other tips are that the product should come with a manufacturer's Warranty for minimal 12 month period, if it is infact a Brand New Model. Cases are also a Big

4 steps to spot a fake Fred Perry Polo Shirt
Hey, this report will show you four easy steps to determining if your Fred Perry Polo Shirt is a genuine one or a fake one.Now, no bullshit, let's begin...1. Look at the Laurel EmbroideryGenuine ones look very nice and standardized (if you have two polo shirts in different color and pattern, the Laurel figure should be the same )While fake ones look cheap and wonky, although some fake Laurel could be very similar to the genuine ones.2. Look at the label on neckGenuine label should be in blue (except some pre-90's FP polo used green label), again the lauren logo on the label should be a key factor to spotting fake.Below is an example of genuine FP label. But it doesn't have to be exactly the same as it, because there are some styles (eg: Fred Perry X COMME DES GARCONS)are carrying different label. The main point is, the label should look gorgeous and the Laurel on the label should look detailed.Here are some fake ones (many fake FP polos have green label)*There are genuine polo shirt with green label before 90's. So don't be suprised to see some used shirt with green label, just pay attention to the Laurel on the label.(suggest by ebay user geraghtyn)3. Its buttons (genuine one should be in same colour as the shirt's main colour)while some fake shirts put white button on colourful shirts:4. Finally, let's look at the washing label inside the shirt.It tells you the information of this shirt, for example, here is a black polo with yellow collar trim.It has a reference number: M1200/506/1950/215M1200 refer to its model, short sleeved polo shirt506 refer to the color, here are some more code for color:506 - Black / Yellow748 - White / Red238 - Navy / White722 - White / Cactus376 - Cactus / White627 - Light Brown / Blue482 - Yellow / Charcoal486 - Black / Brown735 - Green / Light Blue215 - Navy / Yellow512 - Blue / RedYou could also send an email to Fred Perry's customer service with your reference code, they might give you more information if your shirt genuine.(because ebay only allow 10 pictures in one guide, if you wish to see more genuine fred perry's picture, please visit my shop.)The End.Thanks for watchingTina

Using Couriers
I would strongly advise the amateur ebayer, like myself, NOT to use couriers unless absolutely necessary!
I have NEVER had any trouble with the GPO, but decided to try Parcel2Go.com, as advertised on eBay, for three bulky items I sold a couple of weeks ago. I thought it would be handy to be able to pay them directly from my Paypal account.
The items were collected on the pre-arranged day, and the driver asked where they were going. He was shown the addresses clearly marked on the box. He then printed off the barcode label for each of the parcels - and stuck them on the wrong boxes!!!
All three were delivered to the wrong place!
Now it turns out the courier is not liable as I failed to check, despite showing the thicko the addresses, that he had put them on the correct parcel! Surely couriers have to be literate!?!?
I addition, at no point during the delivery process did anyone notice that the address on the parcel did not match the one on the label. All they deal with are the BARCODES! Ridiculous! Common sense plays no part whatsoever!
If you DO have to use a courier, avoid Parcel2Go like the PLAGUE! They have no interest in customer after-care, have outdated links on their website, so you think you are emailing them, but aren't, and have an automated phone service that cuts you off at every possible juncture without you ever being able to speak to a 'real' person.Totally incompetent cowboys!
If they come good and rectify the situation, I will happily retract the above statement, but until then AVOID AVOID AVOID!

I have NEVER had any trouble with the GPO, but decided to try Parcel2Go.com, as advertised on eBay, for three bulky items I sold a couple of weeks ago. I thought it would be handy to be able to pay them directly from my Paypal account.

Ted Baker Clothing - size 1 2 3 4 and 5
Hi Another something I thought I would share with you is how Ted Baker clothing is sized.It does not use 10, 12, 14 etc or S M L - so if you are going to buy something with this on the label, chances are it is Fake.At the time of writing this - ladies clothing was categorised as 1, 2, 3, and 4and Mens clothing as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, The best way of ensuring a good fit with Ted Baker clothing is to get all the measurements, but as a guide1 = 8 2 = 103 = 124 = 14and in Mens2 = S3 = M4 = L5 = XL and 6 = XXLIf you spot something which doesnt have numbering on the label but a size,

How to recognise a genuine corset
If you search for "Corset" on Ebay, the vast majority of the results will not actually be corsets at all. So how do you know that what you're bidding on is actually what you want? To the trained eye, the imitations stick out like a sore thumb but so many things get described as corsets on the high street it's easy for the casual buyer to be fooled. Here are some questions you should ask yourself:
What are you actually looking for?
When you say you want a "corset", is what you have in mind a corset at all? A corset is a very rigidly boned item designed to bring in the waist, usually by about 4" and are not cheap. If that surprises you and you want something more comfortable, you probably want a basque, bustier or gothic top. Bustiers are often very pretty imitation corsets, lightly boned but have no effect on the figure. Basques are

Buying 50s vintage clothing - a guide
Buying and collecting vintage clothing on eBay can become an addiction - but here's a quick guide to help you avoid the common pitfalls.
THE FIT: Make sure you buy something that is actually going to fit ! Most sellers don't offer returns on grounds of fit. A beautiful vintage dress that is just too small is pretty useless, unless you have bought it to collect rather than wear. Still, you can always sell it back on eBay if it doesn't fit, but that's a shame if you saw it as the dress of your personal dreams.
SIZE:
Not only are vintage clothes sized differently - a 1950s size 18 is often about a modern UK 12 -but they often cater to a different body shape. 50s clothing in particular was aimed at showing off the hourglass figure - a defined small waist, fitted trim bodice and shapely full bustline. 50s women often wore padded bullet bras and waist cincher corsets to help achieve this shape! And the clothing was more closely fitted to the upper body than we are used to.
MEASUREMENTS:
It's important that you know the bust ,waist and hips measurement of the vintage garment you are buying on eBay. Most vintage items either have no size label or else a vintage size label that is not equivalent to modern day sizing (even 1970s sizing runs smaller than modern day). Remember you can't try your dress on in a fitting room before purchasing. You'll need at least an inch leeway for a comfortable fit. For example, if your bust measures 36 inches, a dress that measures 36 inches exactly over the bust will be literally skintight - vintage fabrics rarely have "give" or stretch apart from knitwear - so you'll need an actual measurement of about 37 inches or even 38. Get out the tape measure and get to know your own vital statistics ( be honest!) and ask the seller to provide bust, waist and hip figures if they havent added as part of the listing.
It's worth keeping a tape measure in your handbag in case you find yourself in a vintage clothes shop or stall without changing facilities. A quick measure of the bust and waist of the garment ( you can just measure the front and then double it) and you should have a pretty good idea if it's going to fit you or not. .
THE VINTAGE STYLE FOR YOUR SHAPE
A lot of 50s vintage dresses are petite and somewhat short-waisted in size - women on the whole were slimmer and shorter - and the lucky modern day size 6-10 is going to find a lot of choice and your delicate frame and small waist will look perfect in full-skirted prom style dresses - think Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina. But you can still get great vintage dresses in bigger sizes too. Indeed, if you are a voluptuous curvy Marilyn Monroe shape the fitted hourglass 1950s wiggle dresses are going to look a whole lot better on you than flat-chested skinnies. Look for listings that say L XL or LARGER SIZE.Having said that , good 50s dresses larger than about modern day UK 14-16 or 16 are thin ( if that is the word!) on the ground.
CONDITION
A vintage garment can be 50 plus years old and ( unless it is new old stock) will have been pre- worn and loved - so dont expect it to look fresh off the rack at Marks

How to Spot a Fake Fendi Handbag?
Here are few approaches I found on internet to identify a replica or fake Fendi Handbag. I enlist some methods below for your references. If you'd like to buy a genuine Fendi Designer bag, you must ensure that the product you are getting is authenticate and not an elaborated copy.
Determining the authenticity on Fendi Bags, or any product can be a little tricky, but if you know the basics, you will be able to spot a fake in just a few seconds.
One of the best ways to ensure your new Fendi handbag is authentic is to look at the bag itself. Fendi handbags are popular and cost as much as they due because first and for-most they are made from quality materials. Take a good look at the stitching. There should be no loose or missing stitches, the color of the thread should match the main color of the bag and the stitches should be evenly spaced. If the handbag is leather, the logo should be engraved, not just printed on the leather.
Look at the hardware. The hardware should match in color and sheen. Many manufactures, including Fendi, Fendi and Fendi, protect their hardware with a cover that is to be removed only after it has been purchased. The brand name or logo should be engraved, not embossed or simply printed on the hardware. You can also find the brand name of logo engraved on the strap hardware on Fendi, Fendi, Fendi.
Inspect the material the lining, hardware and accents are made of. Many handbags are made of different types of leather, from Lambskin, Calfskin, Goatskin and Patent Leather, but it is easy to distinguish if the leather is of a good quality or not. The lining is usually made of a satin material that has a nice shine to it and most designer handbags have the name brand name or logo on the lining. Designers almost always use leather accents, not plastic. Some purses have straps that are specially coated and seem to be artificial. However a quick look at the edge of the strap, usually near a stitched joint, should reveal a leather core.
If there is an authenticity card. An authenticity card is a little card that usually has the manufactures logo embossed on the front and has some information about the product you purchased and sometimes includes a magnetic strip, bar code. Many manufacturers, including Fendi, Doir, Gucci, Kate Spade and Coach, use these cards.

How to purchase AUTHENTIC designer jeans on Ebay!!!!!!!
Finding authentic designer jeans on eBay.These days, the price of designer jeans can range anywhere from $100 - $300. Many of us don't want to shell out that much money for a pair of denim, but we also can't resist the amazing comfortable, soft, and durable texture of designer jeans. The solution?: We come on eBay to find some good deals on the bottoms that we love. eBay is flooded with thousands of designer jeans and unbelievably cheap prices; prices that are almost too good to be true. How do some of these sellers not break the bank by selling hundreds of pairs of jeans retailed at $300 for a mere $75? The answer: Most designer jeans on eBay are counterfeit. That's right, produced in some sweatshop not in the beautiful US of A in some horrid conditions, with the poorest quality denim available in the world. Do you really want to spend almost $100 on a pair of "designer jeans" that are worth less than $20? A lot of the time it can be difficult to distinguish between what's real and what's not. So what's the answer to this dilemma? Don't just be turned off because of the vast number of fakes here on eBay, but learn to find the authentic gems in the haystack. This is why you're reading this guide.Back to the Basics: Easy things that you can notice that will give you a good idea of the authenticity of a seller's item.
Mutliple pairs: If a seller has many pairs (2 ) of the same brand of jeans, in the same wash and cut, with the same pictures, the same or different sizes, then it's a good idea to stay away. Many of the counterfeit sellers purchase their fake jeans wholesale from companies in Asia for about $5 a pair. Then they try to rip off innocent buyers on eBay. It's rare that any high end designer jean company will sell their jeans wholesale in cheap prices to eBay sellers. They have enough buyers as it is; they don't need to rid themselves of their stock. However, there are still many unknowing sellers on eBay (non-wholesale) who buy fake jeans and then re-list them, believing they are authentic the entire time. Although it is not intentional, these fake jeans are just as bad. Be sure to keep reading to get the best ways of determining authenticity.
Stock photos: If a seller only has stock photos (that is, pictures from the website) of the jeans they are selling, don't bit until you're able to secure some real photos of the jeans. Counterfeit sellers don't want to take actual pictures of the fake jeans a) because informed buyers (like you, after you read this guide) will be able to determine the authenticity and b) they're incredibly lazy and don't care about their customers (that's why they're selling fake jeans, duh). But hit that 'back' button on your browser if the listing doesn't have any real pictures. The seller might be new to eBay or they just might have forgotten to take pictures; always request pictures before you make a final conclusion.Intermediate: Requires a little more effort on the part of the buyer, but still fairly easy ways to determine authenticity.
Cut numbers: This method doesn't work for all jeans - some jeans do not have cut numbers at all. This method works best for Seven for All Mankind and Citizens of Humanity jeans. Cut numbers are numbers that manufacturers stamp on their jeans in order to label a certain batch. They can range from a 3 number sequence up to 10 numbers, or more. They can be amazing indicators of fake jeans, as counterfeiters usually take one authentic cut # that has known to be in production, and they make thousands of pairs of fake jeans using the same cut #. However, similar cut #s are very rare in authentic jeans, as only a few pairs are produced in each batch of the same cut #s. Every pair of jeans has a cut #, and sellers will usually either list them in their descriptions, or if not, you can always ask for the cut #. Once you find out a cut number, and you want to determine the authenticity of the jeans, just do a simple search on eBay. Enter the cut # in the search field, and be sure to check the box that says "search title and description". If only one or two (or three) pairs of jeans with that cut # shows up, then your jeans are most likely authentic. However, if a lot of listings pop up, then STAY AWAY.
Searching for obvious defects in jeans: Some jeans have very distinguishing qualities, and fake jeans are often unable to replicate these qualities. For example, in True Religion jeans, the back pockets have a very distinct horseshoe design, which counterfeiters are unable to capture the shape of. The picture below shows the back pocket of an AUTHENTIC pair of jeans (from my own collection):
Note how the horseshoe is placed in the exact center of the back pocket, and that it nicely fills up the entire pocket.Now, here is a picture of a fake pair of True Religion jeans:Note how the horseshoe isn't even able to retain the same shape: it is very pointed at the top. Also, the bottom is too wide; rather than having a gentle curve, the bottom of the horseshoe is almost flat. The placement is also off; the horseshoe is unable to fill up the entire space of the back pocket, and more of it is towards the bottom rather than the top, and it is not centered.
Poor fading or distressing: Authentic designer jeans (taken with good quality cameras) should have a sort of "shine" quality in the pictures. If you re-observe the pictures above, you can see that the first picture of authentic jeans has a slight shine, almost as if light is reflected. However, in the second (counterfeit picture), the jeans look rather dull and don't have that shine at all. You can also use common sense to determine the authenticity of jeans: if a pair has terrible fading or whiskering, then you can conclude that it's fake. Many pairs of designer jeans have very gradual fading, and intense fading (for example: very light, almost white at the thigh area, and dark blue at the legs and above thighs) is usually a sign of fake jeans. There is no other way to put this trick: if the jeans look ugly and cheap, then they are most likely ugly, cheap, counterfeits.
Ready to Become a Designer Jean Expert?: Some of the tricks you can use that take a little more time to master.
Learning the jeans: Although jeans such as True Religion have distinct qualities, other jeans, such as Hudsons or Citizens of Humanity do not. The absolute best way, and surefire way, in combination with the tactics above, is to learn the jeans. What do I mean by that? It means to study the washes and details of authentic jeans (you can look at stock photos, or pictures of AUTHENTIC jeans that people have posted on the web - visit my about me page or contact me for these links!). There is no other way than to memorize and get a feel of the jeans. This way, you'll know what authentic jeans are supposed to look like, and you'll be able to immediately tell if jeans you're looking at on eBay are real or fake. Final Tips
Lastly, remember that counterfeiters are usually liars and scammers. Although you can get an amazing deal on eBay on an amazing pair of jeans, if something is too good to be true, than there is usually a chance that it might not be true at all. If you're unsure of whether a certain pair of jeans is fake or authentic, ask for a second opinion (again, contact me or visit my "about me" page for these thinks). It's always better to be safe than sorry!I hope this guide was helpful to those who read it. Good luck and happy shopping! :)

THERES A REASON EBAY URGES YOU TO USE PAYPAL....................................
NOT FOR YOUR PROTECTION, NOT FOR YOUR SAFETY...................................
ITS SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY OWN IT, AND IT GENERATES MORE THAN 21% REVENUE FOR THEM.
eBay tries to get you to pay for your items using paypal for one simple reason...... Profit.
as if they didnt charge enough fee's already!!!! what with.......
insertion fees, listing fees, subtitle fees, picture fees, seller fees, final value fees, V.A.T, they then want you to use their own payment method run by people who have an iq less than a cockroach.
And guess what, they charge you, buyers fees, sellers fees, transaction fees, reversal fees, fraud fees, withdrawal fees

S.A.S. T-SHIRTS
I've noticed quite a few 'S.A.S. /
S.B.S.' T-shirts for sale on EBAY and here's some useful info, before
you part with your cash: don't - it's a rip-off. Out of 50 shirts
you'll see, maybe 2 are as issued or worn at work. The rest are normal
t-shirts, whether primark/fruit of the loom and have cheap stuck-on
badges on the left breast. I've even seen one with '22 S.A.S. STAFF

The Best Kept Seller Secret on Ebay...ExposedEbay can be a haven for great buys and hard to find items. Actually those things are the very reason eBay has become a multibillion dollar company and global market leader. As with any marketplace, you will always find a certain element that practices underhanded, very common ripoff tactics. This guide will help you steer clear of those sellers looking to rip you off on shipping and handling fees. The more people that get educated to this eBay scam, the better chance eBay has of maintaining a reputation of being the very best place to buy or sell just about anything you can put a price tag on; And to my mind, that is well worth preserving.
Low Starting BidA very common practice is for a scam seller to offer an item at a ridiculously low price. Example? I would love to be able to link to an eBay auction that shows this taking place (ebay doesn't allow these guides to link to specific auctions), but the one I am looking right now has an MP3 player - new, factory sealed for $23.00

BEWARE!!! 90% OF "ALL" EBAY GSTAR RAW GOODS ARE FAKE!!!
hi guys, i have decided to write this guide, as i am a complete "g star fanatic, perhaps even borderline obsessive! now lets be clear, my entire wardrobe is G Star. My jackets, my jeans and my tshirts and belts and hats. EVERYTHING. i "never" buy g star from ebay, want to know why................................coz 90% of the stuff (if not more) is fake.
i get my gstar clothes from reputable and official stockist. i.e... republic, USC, fallenhero.co.uk, baggamenswear.co.uketc.... and you should too. when it comes to g star on ebay if it sounds too good to be true.... IT IS!
G Star dont actually have that many different styles of the clothes out from their respective collections wether it be winter or summer etc... so do a bit of research on official stockist to get to know whats out at the moment. this will help you spot fakes.
now the jeans! god this makes me laugh... i have yet to see an authentic pair of g star jeans on ebay. i swear. they are all terrible terrible fakes. think about it. what "seller" in their right mind is going to sell a pair of

Selling women's clothes - writing decent descriptions
Writing a decent description for clothing on eBay is rife with problems. For a start you're rarely selling just one item, so after you've written beautiful descriptions for the first 5 things, it gets very tedious. Also, it's hard to describe some items...just what is that detail at the side...a rouche? A flower? A crinkle? And as for the colour.....aqua? Pale blue? Or just....light turquoise?! It can be an absolute nightmare, but here is my guide to writing decent descriptions for items....I've sold many items of clothing, and always get a great price, even for the plainest beige T-shirt.So....you've picked out your items you no longer need, and you've taken your photographs. Now comes how to describe them! I always use the same formula....here is an example for a size 8 plain white Topshop vest. The item title is: ICE-WHITE Topshop BASIC VEST TOP (8). The use of 'ice-white' stands out better than just 'white' and it will make the viewer subconsciously think 'wow, ice-white, that's REALLY white!'. Also, I always put everything except the brand name in capitals, to stand out in the listings. Using the word 'basic' will get people thinking 'yeah, I really ought to have one of those by now' and the bids will fly! So, for a denim Warehouse mini, the title will be: DENIM Warehouse MINI SKIRT (6). Useful?The description itself of the ICE-WHITE Topshop BASIC VEST TOP (8) is as follows, and is the template for ALL my listings: Simple ice-white size 8 vest from Topshop, 100% cotton. Excellent condition. A must have item this Spring and Summer with anything from boyfriend jeans to skinny jeans to denim minis and shorts. Dress it up or down. Cost

Fake goods
As a relative newcomer to the wonderful and very addictive "ebay" I am amazed by 2 quite obvious facts, firstly the amount of clearly fake items being sold, and secondly buyers apparent apathy towards this, or perhaps ignorance to the fact they are being blatently and unscrupulously ripped off by these con-men. To date out off about 25 purchased items I have recieved a Hugo Boss shirt that was clearly something picked up at the local market with a very basic "Hugo Boss" label sewn into the collar (even the label was fake !), a Lacoste polo shirt that again was of lesser quality than something bought in Tesco's with an equally poor "Crocodile" logo sewn onto the chest, Prada flip-flops that were again like something you would buy on Brighton seafront for a

Fake The North Face Jackets II
I read a previous guide on this subject and its very pertinent - I got caught too in an almost identical situation. I found Trading Standards were very helpful, but ebay is pretty toothless so dont rely on their dispute console.
I would like to add some other clues to spot a fake: anything sold as or with "summit series" is most likely a fake (I couldnt find this make in existence anywhere on the web let alone on the TNF website). I have also read this on some of the outdoor web forums. The seams will also not be taped (look through the mesh), although the actual jacket might well be Goretex, or Goretex XCR since this isnt the expensive part of making the jacket. If the seams are not taped,
