Think he'll be lucky getting the start price for genuine let alone fakes.

...or maybe he added an extra 0 to his prices by mistake

What an idiot.
These were in TKMax for ?35.00.

[AdiMac]

Well I'd take a pair for ?35

His already got Neg feedback for selling fakes, what a doughnut! I would report him but me and the bay rent seeing eye to eye at the moment and it has been letters back and forward all of last week but it appears that they will not do anything and furthermore they claim its not their responsibility as there is a small clause in their small print that states they cannot guarentee authenticity of basically anything that is sold and even after reporting a seller all they do is look at the feedback and if its ok they do nothing! Im forwarding all of my correspondance to the Trading Standards and Watchdog when i get a minute! Its not good enough and has made my blood boil!

[AdiMac]

E-Bay might not be able to say if the goods are legit or not but the seller has to say they are ok when they list the item so they shouldn't able to get away seling fakes (yeah right!!!!) and E-bay should do something about it.....

[Sooper]

Yeah its a bit of a cop out in my view and they should do more to help the buyers not the sellers. I have asked why sellers who i have reported over a year ago and others on here have reported are still selling and they just will not answer me!! Half the time you just get this templated response that they are sorry you have had a bad experience .. etc! It is very frustrating trying to complain when you arent even sure anyone is actually doing anything or even reading what has been written!
Customer Service!! Theyve never heard of it!! Im not going to let it go either! Its really wound me up!

[firstnameunknown]

eBay do seem to be making some attempts at combating this kind of thing, by the looks of this. It's profoundly vague, of course, but it's promising... slightly.

And yeah, which TK Maxx are we talking about? I like those...

[mr.pure]

Yep, ebay are doing something about it allright.
Playing straight into the hands of the people selling the fakes and stopping average sellers selling the occassional pair of Superstars.

[Sooper]

I think that if multiple people are reporting the same sellers that should really alert them to the fact that maybe a seller is not legit and then they should investigate properly and not just read the feedback! Its incredible and trying to get a response to any questions isnt easy , its like trying to talk to a child who has its hands over its ears! Pretending it isnt really happening! I did see that they are no longer gonna let sellers hide feedback which is good and a few other things that escape me at the mo but they need to get rid of the crap fake sellers! Its not our job to police the site for them and yes ebay was set up with trust in mind but we all know that you cant rely on sellers telling the truth etc , ebay needs to wake up and join the rest of us in the real world!
Time for a beer now, must calm down!

You would think companies prone to be targeted by counterfieters would be pressuring eBay more with the threat of legal action, imagine how much brands like Diesel, Abercrobie, Louis Vitton, BAPE (and Adidas ) are having their brand devalued due to fakes.

If I was MD of Adidas i'd be fighting eBay all the way to stamp out fakes completely, surely there must be a legal argument that eBay are not doing enough to combat the problem!

You would think Adidas should would have a team of people solely to spot fakes and get eBay to remove them, the cost of which would be drop in the ocean to a company of their size and stature.

Currently it appears that brands are just choosing to live with it, was there not a guy who sent a suspect pair of Ian Browns to Adidas UK asking if they were fake, their response was 'yes they are' that was it, no attempt to try and find out the origin or where they were purchased from, do they actually care??

Its crap isnt it!
I spoke with Adidas Customer Care (Essex) last year a few times and they do indeed have someone who scours ebay daily looking for fakes etc , what happens after that they wouldnt tell me?! I was also told by Adidas not to buy anything Adidas from Ebay as they reckoned at least 80/90% was counterfeit ? I think if you keep your wits about you your ok and sites like this have certainly helped many people. Your right you can send shoes to Adidas to have them checked out and is free of charge etc but should buyers really have to do this just to see whether they have the real thing or not? I dont think so not in this day and age. Ebay i assume makes a monster profit every year with quite low overheads i think so they could employ more people to help combat this issue but the question is do they really want to? Judging by the appaling responses i have had to my last four letters (the last one has yet to be replied to) i dont think the give a damm and probably hope i will give up as i cannot call anyone or contact anyone direct. A faceless organisation , clever really i suppose!

5000 Pairs - ALL SOLD (Apart from these)

[Sooper]

Amen to that!

Morning,

EBAY and adidas are currently on the fake situation. They are trying to stamp it out. Any fake sellers, continue to report them as its all happening, but very very slowly.
I got done buying a laptop this week, the bastard called me to check I had payed then never sent. I called him to see where it was and he said he hasnt a clue what im on about. NICE.
Dont worry, i have his phone number and am in his location this weekend (LONDON)
Ebay have already closed his account down. doomz_2 incase anyone wanted it!!!

[mr.pure]

What an arsehole.
