Urgent Help needed!! Any Ugg experts out there?

Lifeisbutadream

Exactly the same thing happened to me, but with a signed football shirt. Ebay were useless and I ended up losing my money because the seller was booted off ebay and I have no proof to make a claim through my credit card either.

On the bright side, I do have a genuine fake signed Liverpool shirt!

I will never use ebay again.

Guys,
I have probably fallen for one of the most reported scams on the interweb! Fake Ugg boots. If you dont know what they are, you are of no use to me, but feel free to read on.

Errr, everyone is of some use on MSE as we all know something about something. Agreed not all of us are experts but as I know nothing about these overpriced yetti boots, I can't help. :rolleyes:

No he says send them back and he will refund me! Well firstly, he has been booted off eBay so I dont believe him, and secondly, he will just sell them to another sap like me!

If he's been booted off ebay, phone ebay up, let them know the situation, and see what they suggest. Tell them you just want to send the boots back (recorded delivery) for a refund.

It wouldn't be lost though. You'd still have the boots. You could sell them on ebay as Ugg boots (not UGG boots). Just a thought. Good luck with your refund.

It crossed my mind, but I dont want to put some one else in my position! I am pretty stressed out!

And that would be a further infringement of Ugg's intellectual property rights....

Would it? I thought Ugg was generic and it was only "UGG" that was TM'ed. Can't say I care one way or another, but if the OP couldn't get her refund and wanted to sell them on ebay perhaps she could describe them as "Ugg-style", or just call them boots and post a photo with a caption

"Ces ne sont pas UGG (tm) boots" :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Read the original post - they are "fake". The original seller is passing them off as original products and the OP was sufficiently duped into buying them.

Other than the passing off action by Ugg, it would be illegal under the UK's Trade Mark Act together with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act.

Ugg Australia has the word and image "Ugg" registered as a UK and Community TM in class 18 which relates to textiles and clothing. Therefore, nobody else can use the mark.

Oh, and from Ebay:

Doesnt paypal offer an immediate refund if the seller has been kicked off ebay? I would defiantely phone and explain this point to paypal.
