Ok, got it now. Thanks for the detailed explanation. I thought if they list it as a duplicate, then the buyer knows it's not a genuine, hence the low price. You could say I'm kinda naive, am I not? :smile1:

Duplicate is a gray area & could mean anything. It takes many years & an acute attention to detail to become familiar with designers & the products they put out. There's a lot of research that going into determining authenticity especially these days with counterfeiters becoming better & better at "duplicating" designs. Some things are obvious & some are not. It's like with anything, the more educated you are about a product, the better you can protect yourself as a consumer.:smile1:

And we all have to start somewhere. That's where this forum is invaluable. For those who make the effort to explore the site & participate & ask questions, you can get a tremendous amount of knowledge.

No ur not naieve maybe I am just an old untrusting cynic lol. It is sad that there is such a huge industry for fakes and not just kors with lots and lots of designer or named brands. As an example, I got burnt recently with a branded phone case. I knew as soon as it arrived it wasn't genuine and although the seller took down other listings for that particular product, they are still getting negative feedback about other things consumers are buying that turn out not to be the real deal.

I also had it years ago with a designer bag, as soon as it arrived I knew there wasn't something quite right and it turned out to be counterfiet. It was an amazing copy and I paid a lot for it. Soon as I realised I stopped using it as I would never knowingly use an item that is not real.

You can learn so much from forums like this and the internet is an amazing resource. The line I have heard so many times is very true "if it seems to good to be true, it probably is."

Indeed, this saying is so true! I'm sorry that happened to you too, trefusisgirl! It's true that we learn faster from "mistakes" like this, although it wasn't your mistake. Let's say occurrences like this... I'd also wish there were no counterfeits and scammers. Our hard-worked money cannot just go out the window like that.

We live and learn and this is why all fakes should be reported as others will end up in the same situation.

Sadly much as I would like to think otherwise, some people are not as honest as the day is long. I really hate it when
I see someone has bought a clear counterfeit item. I just think of the disappointment when they get it, as I know I get really excited waitng for new purchases to arrive. Maybe some people never realise, which is awful those fakes out there on peoples arms.

Been looking on ebay for a wallet this evening, found some lovely ones, including a navy one that I hope to buy, but as ever found some counterfiets. I noticed there is one sort in particular that keeps popping up which is truly awful.

Anyway, if you could help, please report these ones:-

252096898497 bag
271991060853 wallet
252095174629 wallet
291567362226 wallet
161831619815 wallet
281801852014 wallet
271991060853 wallet
371445043278 wallet
252098070708 wallet
321853986638 wallet same seller as next one,
321854006486 wallet

Would be so nice to see this thread get lots more views so that more TPF peeps could help try and get the never ending fakes of ebay.

Thanks for helping if you are able to.

How can you spot a fake from only one photo? The seller even says it's a duplicate. Also, the black one, can you tell without any doubt it's a fake? I'm just curious. I'm asking about the last 2 that were already ended.

Yes and duplicate = fake/counterfiet. Even listing something and saying it is a duplicate is still someone selling a counterfiet bag knowingly.

Things are only listed here if the poster is certain the item is not a genuine Kors item and believe me you see 100's on ebay at any one time. It is so frustrating, hence this thread. Some may be selling them not realising the item is counterfiet but others have no scruples and will knowingly list items they have purchased as fake to sell on to unsuspecting buyers.

Cinthiaz or cdtracing who are the resident experts may wish to give more comments. But I know on the authenticate forum they do not say why something is fake, just whether it is, or isn't.

There is usually more than one photo to look at in a listing. There are many different things we look at to determine authenticity but we do not say what details we look at or why something is fake because counterfeiters read these sites to learn how to make better fakes. TPF has long had the opinion to not reveal what makes something fake in order to not give info to the counterfeiters. We will not report a listing unless we are 100% sure an item being sold is counterfeit. It's really hard at times because the counterfeiters are making Super Fakes of some designer bags that are so hard to tell that you almost have to have the actual bag in your hands to personally examine it.

+1! As cdtracing stated, counterfeiters do come here and read this forum. That is why we will not give out details of what we look for. Helps them to make better fakes. It is good that tesfusisgirl shares the listing number here, so we can also look it over. If we agree, then we will report the listing. If not, we will say 'not enough pics' etc. That's why this forum is so invaluable, because we can work as a team and help each other, to help others not get burned with a fake!
