Hello. I am not too familiar with Burberry items so I need some help. I have only bought a couple of small items in the past (a cashmere scarf and a polo shirt for my fiance) and both were bought directly from Burberry's website. Is anyone familiar with eBay seller walk into fashion? Thanks in advance.
Please post the info and links to the items you are looking at (see post 1 for format)
 
Item Name: Burberry Brit Poloshirt ((Was a german auction)
Item Number: 162474415553
Seller ID: m-m-outlet
Link: http://www.ebay.at/itm/162474415553

I already bought the item, but I am able to return it anyway.

On the first glance, everything seems stitched well and looks good:

IMG_1945.JPG

But the following things grabbed my attention (red flags, I think!):
IMG_1941.JPG
The left and the middle tag are definitely authentic ones (I purchased those items myself in an official burberry boutique), the rightmost one is the polo shirt this post is about. Notice the different check pattern. Further, notice the different Burberry Logo ("Prorsum"). Another thing I saw is that the light-gray Burberry logo behind the text on the white area is patchy compared to the one on the other two tags. (See above for a closeup of the fake (?) tag)

The first two plastic tag attachments are the real ones. The bottom one is the one attached to the poloshirt. It seems to smooth and glossy and the size is off.

Notice how the stroke width of "BRIT" is different (lighter) than the "BURBERRY" one. Additionally, "BRIT" should, according to my experience end exactly at the crease of the tag.

All in all, I think this is a good counterfeit Burberry Brit Poloshirt. Good, but still fake, unfortunately.

What is your opinion about this? This is my first try at authenticating a Burberry product, so my experience is limited. Additionally, this is my first time buying fashion item from ebay. Thank you so much in advance!

Wondering if something went wrong with this thread...sorry this seems irrelevant to the purpose of the site, but noticed nothing new posted in over 24 hours, or am I just having issues viewing?
 
I'm not sure. I have never posted before- but was trying to authenticate the Burberry denim the plaid jacket above.
Thank you!

I'm no expert,but I think the person who replied about it right below your jacket post was indicating the bottom were wrong. In my experience, the buttons usually say BURBERRY on them, but again I'm no expert.

Just the stitching tells you everything you need to know - also be leery of any seller with multiples like this. There are no ONLINE Burberry outlets.
