Yea better safe than sorry. The whole ebay money back guarantee reimbursement process is just a headache and takes forever. I went through that with a scarf and luckily the seller got suspended right after he shipped the item so it was easy case.
I agree with you ! Such a huge hassle when you get a fake. It is easier to claim "item not as described - than to go with fake - but it is stressful!! Better safe than sorry - and a seller who can't be bothered to take good photos - that is a clue to the type of service you will get if you do purchase ....
