I do (what I consider to be) well there. I opt in to additional promotion and can pay a higher than 3.5% commission but it's rare that I get charged the max.


I found a listing for a red dress ($120). If that's the listing you're talking about, are you sure it's fake? I don't see any markings with the brand although the RN number is for BCBG Maxazria.

IMO, she's KWS but not selling a fake. (She's also wrong in stating the brand in item specifics as Herve Leger.)

Well, she wrote Herve Leger style in the name of the listing and chose "Herve Leger" in brands, not "unbranded" or smth like that. And this phrase about "same factory"... c'mon, it's like fairy tales about "authentic" Chanel or LV from same factories where authentic ones are made. If I were HL representative, I'd def decide this listing harms brand's reputation.

No question that it's misleading and a violation of ebay's "keyword spamming" policy but it's improper to report as counterfeit. But you never want to lose your own reporting credibility by reporting non-fakes as counterfeit items.

You can report the KWS using the report button in the listing:

I was just told by Tradesy, if you have a return requested, they will no longer tell you if the it's a " misrepresented return/not as described" or simply a sizing or "changed my mind" return. Apparently many sellers were going back to buyers and getting upset if they said the item was "misrepresented" so now we can not find out the reason for returns! We just have to wait

I got another message today, the whole tone prove it's auth and when and when and where did you get it?
all my items authentic, mostly high end. listings have ALL the pics for authentication. it always says what's included (card, booklet etc).
I'm not sure how to go about Qs like "prove me it's not fake". I always advise them to authenticate on tPH or elsewhere is they have doubts.

oh and about eBay. I've found Herve Leger dress there for $150. It's marked as Herve Leger, but seller even wrote "Please note that this is not Herve leger brand, but it is made in the same factory as Herve leger and is of the same quality". I reported a couple of months ago. NOTHING. Seller relisted this dress several times since then. :sick:

This is interesting.

Although (as you've said), a lot of fakes are said to be "made in the same factory" as authentic items. (Usually it's the Chinese counterfeit-selling sites that say it.)

But in this case, the dress in the listing you refer to IS made in the same factory as Herve Leger.

The dress in the listing is RN 80734.
BCBG Max Azria is RN 80734.
Herve Leger's RN # is 80734.

Are you aware that BCBG makes HL?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUTHENTIC-H...965281?hash=item2eeba528e1:g:JQEAAOSwstxVUUB1

These HL items all have the same RN number, meaning they're made by the same company:

So the seller isn't lying.

Weird. I heard they don't contact you if it's a "change of mind". So if you do get an email, it's easy to rule out that it was misrepresentation or authenticity issue. Right?

what I was saying is that it's not HL in those listing, and the seller says it - that it's NOT HL.
But if you take a look at the item specifics, you'll see this: Brand: Herve Leger.
So if it's not HL, just some dress made at the same factory in same style, why those listing says that IT IS Hl?

There's also no name tag on any of the pictures, if it BCBG Max Azria or any other brand different then HL, why not to picture it?

Seller just wants to attract attention to the buyers who are looking for real HL. I don't feel it's ethical to use brand's name in this case, even if it's made at the same factory. I think it's just a fake, or, ok, inspired by HL dress. And if it's so, why on the earth any factory would make HL together with some dresses that only look like it but unbranded?

I understand when diff brands can be made at the same factory, but I don't get it how it's possible that same factory makes authentic HL and some non branded stuff that looks the same? I still don't think this listing is fair, sorry

based on my recent experience they do let you know if the item is returned cause it's misrepresented, but they don't send any reminders if the item just doesn't fit or smth like that. I've had returns for both reasons recently. First time I had a letter from them (bag's measurements were inaccurate - my fault), and second (shoes didn't fit, and my buyer messaged me about it herself) - I didn't, and in several days my funds were just released.

and also about the code RN 80734
what would stop factories that make counterfeit use some real numbers / codes as they do with the bags? Just the fact that the dress has it's code doesn't prove that it was made at the same factory or belongs to a real thing.
