Got mine today and theyre fake!!

Just checked the fake sellers list hes on there "madchester06"

The stripes are a poor fit.. There is glue on one of the stripes so that when you put in any other colour than white, it shows up.. The "adicolor" on the bottom of the shoes, the r should be pink but its purple!!

What do people advise as the best plan of action? I dont really want to have to return them and get another pair from someone else. They were only £31 but they are stated as 100% genuine. I really should have checked his feedback!! Looks like hes had a lot of problems and doesnt refund people when they are returned!!

On a more positive note, my Casino "Aces" arrived today and I think they are real although they are from one of the untrusted sellers. Whats the best thing to check?

Thanks

well, even if you don't want to do it for yourself, you owe it to the rest of us to try to get your money back/make this pr*ck's life as difficult as you can.

it's because people keep buying fakes that fakes keep getting made. and fakers f*ck it up for the rest of us.

sorry to here that you have been 'faked'!!! Fuckers arent they?

Best course of action is to let the seller know your feelings, dont be scared, what can they do? dont leave neg feedback YET and contact paypal and let them know you re not happy. Use this site as a reference IF you need to and go about in a civilised way (for now).

You will get your cash back, offer to send them back and just put it down to experience, now you have seen them, you will know what to look for!

We put the fake sellers list up as a reference but sometimes the whole adrenalin thing makes you bid and not check! all done it!

Go about it ASAP, and let the seller know.

Good luck dude

fo sure. Im going to mail him and complain. I just dont want to send them back and then not get a refund which seems to have happened before.

His auction is all stock/press pictures which are clearly different to the ones I have sitting next to me.

[adidasanth]

as I say, good luck. I reckon he will already be fully aware that he is selling fakes. if you get nowhere with them, threaten him with the police!!!! at the end of the day he is selling counterfeit products and the recent awareness of the fake shit will have him wondering!

go for it!

[adidasanth]

you can also get his contact information and take him to task that way!!

make a note and contact the local police that way!!!!

Bloody fakers should get your money back tho

[streak]

Yep do as anth said and let him know that it's illegal to sell fakes, especially when he was selling them as genuine..

The "aces" you bought.. how much did you pay??

[Revels]

Going to email him now and point out that its obvious hes selling fakes and ask him what he is willing to do about it.

I got the aces for £50 with delivery! I havent got the bottle to post pics because if someone tells me their fake too I think I might cry! lol

[streak]

lot's o' fakes.. well there were last time I looked..

[beezeeo]

lot's o' fakes.. well there were last time I looked..

Is it just me or why are there so many fakes?I mean I can understand the shit like consortium,adicolor but why just regular soop's too.

I mean here in the states bapesta's are fake and sold everywhere-even in gas stations but you never see fake soop's.I guess since soop's are in so many retailers that it is not worth it.I brought a pair of the adicolors white century's w/all the colored laces to a clothing exchange store and the clerk went apeshit about they were real and the box...(I took all the laces for myself!) but believe it or not I had them forever but could not figure what to do with em'(custom).

The dude at the store bought them and he was like a 10us and I wear a 14us!!!I sell them all my kicks that I am tired of or if I see someone wearing them which does not happen that much since I wear mostly limited's or stuff that you haver to look deep for and most cat's are followers no individual style and will not be different in my town...AIR---bullshit i don't give a fuck how much they cost it is a gas!

surely if you paid via pay pal your money is protected , so send em back signed for make sure you keep the slip and then contact paypal with all the information and also contact ebay telling them that hes selling fakes on there , if he has too much bad feedback eventually they will shut his account down and he will have to start again with zero feedback , pay pal is pretty good at keeping the buyer happy as i have had previous experience with paypal being a seller and had stuff sent back that was either broken or they found some reason they didnt want it and the mponey was taken out of my pay pal account i couldnt do anythin about it ,
