    Got scammed by an ebay seller with 2k plus glowing feedback too a while back. I naively thought I could get Benefit mascara for about half the normal selling price. Unfortunately for the seller (but very fortunately for me), I had a genuine set just run out so the minute I opened the pack they sent,I knew straight away they were fake. I sent several emails to the seller, no response and in the end opened a dispute and got money back from Paypal. What's worrying is that with things like makeup, fakes can contain dangerous chemicals that could cause real damage. So glad I never put any on and will never make the mistake of buying makeup from ebay ever again. Thankfully, the seller has now been banned.
