Being new to the game fella, you will perhaps know that I (and many others) spend hours reporting to ebay the fakers. Adidas MUST have an anti counterfeit policy and as the media reports, anything that can be made cheaper is being.

All part of the wests plan to use cheaper labour has backfired royally on them. The same factories that make the adidas during the day make it 'on the nightshift'.

This has been discussed MANY a time on here, good points tho'. I spent a WHOLE day reporting shit to ebay and to an adidas email, got NOWHERE!

Too big a problem, fakers get rich, bedroom sellers sell shit, ebay makes its profit (I no longer use ebay BTW) and we (pokey today) are left to count the cost.

Its a fucking tightrope!! Tread carefully. Makes what we have on here more special because we hve outlets to check against fake shit, when they punch out a FL basic shoe as legit, it is getting harder. Hold on to your legits cos the twats that stock up on the fake shit know fuck all anyway. Pokey is a wise fella and still got bent over, fucking nightmare!!!

Peace

Yea, I've read a few of your threads on the issue and was quite surprised at how indifferent adidas seem to be about it. The question I have is why are they like that, it's their pockets getting wounded and exploited.

What you said about the night-shifters in those cheap labour factors is what makes it even more incredulous. The hustle game on this gear is major, some of the fakes are so good you'd have to have a way above average knowledge to even spot them.

It's in ebay's best interests to peddle as much saleable shite as possible so their last interest would be shutting down the thieves who are making them money 24/7, 365, but adidas? How come they don't regulate this to the best of their power?

A perfect example is nintendo. They had a lot of trouble with the DS smart cards, they were flooded all over ebay with those, but nintendo shut that shit down, hard, and now you won't see any kind of pirate nintendo gear on ebay. I now the problem is much more complex for adidas, but some of the things being frauded are easy and immediate spots even two of their employees scanning ebay could spot in a flash..

Keep up the fight, but if adidas aren't compliant or giving a shit, I just don't see how the problem can get close to even lessening.
