Anyone who is buying Timberland boots on Ebay

Its not just Ebay that gets flooded with fake goods, market stalls can be just as flooded.
If I want a genuine branded item, I generally opt to buy direct from the wholesaler or company, I tend not to trust Ebay for genuine goods, its the only way I can ensure and trust the item I get is authentic.
Thats the way to do it really. I'm not really bothered about fakes as long as I'm aware that is what they are. I bought a few things in Egypt, including a pair of GHD's for a staggering £20. Obviously fake, but again so spot on it would be almost impossible to tell. Great as a spare pair though0 -
Hi i purchased these today. i am now worried that they are not genuine and have tried to cancel payment but it has already gone through.
What should i do now??

They came in Converse boxes with all the tags, the soles are identical, the logos identical, the insoles identical.
Now they've had a year's wear, can you tell us if the fakes wore out more quickly.
Otherwise, the best advice would seem to be: Go to Egypt to get them.There are two types of people in the world: Those that can extrapolate information.0 -

Easy to check before bidding, the seller has 2 feedbacks for fake goods...

Also, no actual pictures of the boots, just stock photos. You might be lucky but you'll have to wait until they arrive.0 -
