Last night I reported 3 fake MKs to eBay - all in a matter of minutes. All 3 were newly listed. I also reported a fake site to MK but was told they were already aware of that one (mknewbags.com) I have seen an influx of the online 'outlet' MK bags attempting to be sold on some facebook garage sale sites. I report those when I see them as well. I think these ladies are buying the fake MKs, they get them and immediately realize they are probably not real (based mainly on the quality) and then try to pass them on to another unwitting person. I have occasionally sent private messages to the sellers and have been met with both sincere thanks and 'how dare you' hostility! So, I try to leave it up to the administrators of the sites. When asked, I tell folks when the deal looks too good to be true, unless of course the bag is totally ragged out, then it most likely isn't authentic.

Sad isn't it that people knowingly do this. Ebay uk seems to be seeing a real influx recently. Phone cases seem to be a popular fake as well as bags.

I would only approach a seller with 100 per cent feedback as in my head I kinda think that they wouldn't risk their feedback knowlingly selling a fake bag and therefore I feel it fair to give them the benefit of the doubt. Plus ebay doesn't seem to be that reactive when you do report them over here.

I think part of the problem is uneducated consumers. I wonder if these women knew about the poor abused children being kidnapped to use for child slave labor, if they would still purchase these bags?? Many seem to think they are smart saving money on fakes. I really don't think they realize the horrible criminal element behind all of it. ie; drug cartels, mafias, and even terrorists.

I also do not understand why the designers don't start some kind of campaign for public awareness regarding counterfeits . I see hundreds of articles online, in magazines, etc., about counterfeiters getting busted and going to prison. I even read about individuals getting busted for reselling them. However, there is never any mention of it on television in the news? I think some of us here on the purse forum work harder to make the public aware and we can only do so much.

Just think what these designers could accomplish if they all banned together to start a huge public awareness campaign. It would certainly be in their best interest to do this, since it is their hard work being stolen and they lose millions to these counterfeiters each year. . Because the root of the problem is demand. Where there is a demand , there will always be a supply. If they could make the fakes less desirable and educate the public exactly whom they are contributing to, when they buy a fake?? I really believe the demand would go away, thus kill the suppliers. It's the only way and I really don't understand why they don't make more awareness about this.

Totally agree if they publicised how these bags came into being and actually showed videos on their sites to show how/where fakes are made, what to look out for, what materials are used on fakes, etc, etc then these illegal products would loose a lot of their market. They would get more business as consumers would appreciate them taking the time to educate potential customers rather than hiding away from the fact designer bags are ripped off all the time.

In a way it's a shame u can't contact people bidding on fake bags to let them know they are being ripped of. If they are knowingly doing it then it is up to them, but those that bid thinking they are getting a geunine bag it turns up, they realise they've been conned, are the ones that we should be able to help. I know ebay had the protection for buyers, but the hassle involved can be very stressful for people.

I agree but there were too many un knowledgeable people contacting buyers with false claims. At one time, one was able to contact bidders but ebay put a stop to it as much of it was unwarranted. Many report perfectly authentic bags and cause perfectly good sellers problems. YOU may kkow what is real or not, but many others have no clue. I understand why ebay did this, although I would like to be able to help buyers as well. But think about it, how do they know if we are pros or not and are we?? lol!

Anyhow, please report this wannabe Hamilton. Thanks!

No we aren't well u are in my eyes, but I hate to think of innocent people being duped. I just got a fake iphone case soon as it arrived I knew it wasn't an apple one! The seller seemed grateful for my help and we spoke on the phone a few times. on notifyng him of reasons why it was a fake he went into apple store compared and saw what i pointed out as reasons it was fake and immediately took listings for the rest of them down. I felt glad to see he seemed shocked, but still remain a bit cynical he maybe did know.

Anyway that horrid thing is reported.

Well, you six of one and half a dozen of the other. It would be nice to warn the buyer, but then if they identify you to the seller, OMG!! Also, it is called 'live auction interference' and a lot of people got kicked off of ebay for it years ago and that is why they made it so you can't even see who is bidding now, to enforce the rules. Thanks for reporting! I did contact the seller and he took it down! lol! Didn't reply at all!

Is this a fake? I was thinking about the inside tag. Shouldn't it be rectangle? Well, it actually is, but the background is different than most of the others I've seen. Or maybe it's an older model?

Yes! It is fake! Please report it! I'm doing it now! Is a knock off of the MK Astor. The label and lining is all wrong! We can't and won't give details because many counterfeiters read this site. Don't buy it! Glad you came here first! Whew!

I didn't want to buy it but I was surfing the offer of mk bags on ebay. Actually I found a seller that posted some guidelines of the differences between fakes and originals, so then I was trying to practice on what was listed there. :D Glad I got it. Will practice some more.
