I think one has to do their homework before purchasing anything on ebay. Look in the stores be familiar with the details and most important ask the seller if she will stand behind the item you are purchasing. If it doesn't turn out to be the real deal you have a fight on your hands. You have to deal with Paypal, ebay, cc or bank. So if it looks too good to be true it probablyisn't the real thing.. So buyer beware and seller beware that people will find out about what you do !!
Reporting Fakes on eBay: Three Ways
- Thread starter CobaltBlu
- Start date
Does anyone know how to report counterfeit items on eCrater and if so, do they actually respond to these reports (i.e. pull them down)?
I've done a bunch of searches and can't seem to find the answer. Sorry if I'm missing something as I'm sure this has been discussed before.
TIA for your input!

I don't think any of these sellers are interested in doing the "right thing"
when they knowingly are selling fakes. They probably figure that someone
will buy them! It is a shame isn't it?

Thanks for sharing and all your advices. I'm reporting every item - cheating makes me really angry.
This thread is not actually for reporting fakes, but more for the DISCUSSION of reporting fakes.
Most subforums have a "FAKES" thread, where you can post an ebay auction and others will help report it.
For PRADA, post fakes here http://forum.purseblog.com/prada/hall-of-shame-post-prada-fakes-here-374102.html
It usually takes many reports to get Ebay to remove a listing, so it's helpful to have others reporting also.

although the basic idea of ebay is good - I lost quite a lot of money buying a fake. Pay pal never reimbursed me and the seller kept on selling fakes for almost a year after I reported it. Eventually they banned her from ebay, but so many people must have been conned. I re - opened the case but they still did not refund me.
Hey everyone, dont know how many of you are on facebook, but if you are then join my group for listing & reporting counterfeits on ebay ......& promoting awareness of whats really behind the counterfeits good trade.

How long does it take for ebay to take down a reported fraudulent item? I just reported two fake Guccis... they were so disgusting looking!
Sometimes it's hours, sometimes it's days. Ebay is completely unpredictable, these days.
24 hours ago I reported Marc Jacobs Black Quilted Handbag - 220502834239 to eBay, but it is still there. In the blurb it states that it is a Marc Jacobs STYLE (their uc) Black Quilted Handbag. Is this a fake that should be pulled or does the fact that they admit that it is a MJ "style" bag make it ok?
NOPE.. using the designer's name AT ALL for an "XX-style" bag is a violation of ebay policy. Report it for keyword spamming & explain listing says "MJ "STYLE" bag".
You can also report this one for "misleading title".
I think ebay waits for 2, 3 or more reports. Therefore you might post in "Fakes" and ask the other TPF members to report as well or report in several ways.

I am delighted to see that the MJ "Style" handbag has been pulled. I hated the idea of someone paying $100 for this. SM
