Which could well mean that ebay booted him off for other offenses or he just left

I was absolute bothered, oh yes, I even went on live help, emailed ebay etc but he became a non registered user and ebay had little they could do. It happened a very long time ago but whenever fake items come up as a discussion it gets me going again!! xx

always fun if they live local to give a suprise visit, not sure all the way to scotland for what, a £40 bag is worth it

Harrods is less far for you lol

I would say 75% of designer goods are fake (ie : prada/marc jacobs/dior/louis vuitton, etc). But I don't mind as I am not a collector. I like to wear & use designer goods but I am not willing to pay Harrods price!!! So I opt out via ebay!!! I don't keep my designer clothers/bags more than 2 years old. Sometime I just wear/use it for maybe 6/7 times in a year than I auction it back on ebay to recover some of my money back but sometime I make a profit:rotfl: . So you see, if you are happy with the stuff you bought who cares whether it is genuine or not. You get what you paid for.

It's probably more important with some goods than others, e.g. buyers of fake trainers often report them falling apart within a few weeks, when one of the reasons people buy brand name footwear is for durability. If it's a handbag, even a fake will probably withstand years of normal use.
There's another thread about the Watchdog programme around, too.
