Topshop clothing on eBay- real or fake?

There is a seller on ebay - wasn't sure if I should mention the seller I.D- with a lot of topshop stock - they have two items that I really wanted from Toshop website selling at about 50% of the cost.
But how do I know if they're genuine?
Do Topshop clothes get faked on ebay at all does anyone know?
Not sure if I'm just suspicious or whether they could be knock-offs. I know we're not talking designer here but still..

Plenty of reasons they could be genuine and less that they may be fake. So no way of anyone knowing from just what you've said.There is a seller on ebay - wasn't sure if I should mention the seller I.D- with a lot of topshop stock - they have two items that I really wanted from Toshop website selling at about 50% of the cost.

Are they labelled TopShop or Top Shop brand in the garment?.0 -
If someone is going to fake clothing, I don't think they're gonna be faking Topshop!Hope over Fear. #VoteYes0

I remember watching a consumer programme once, where a vast quantity of fake budget branded teabags had been seized!You'd be surprised. If they can shift enough units anything will be faked. Fruit of the Loom's cheapest plain tshirt had loads of fakes knocking about for a while.
A tea 'expert' said they were "poor quality... not a bad copy!" :laugh:"The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing.
...If you can fake that, you've got it made."

Lots of people sell overstock from highstreet stores.
They tend to have the lables removed to prevent people from trying to return them to store though.0 -
It's usually a legal requirement of whoever buys them to resell. The OP did say that the item is still on sale in TopShop so that would be unlikely.RainbowDrops wrote: »Lots of people sell overstock from highstreet stores.

I've also seen this used in the sellers favour, they say the label has been cut out because there never was a genuine one. Seen this alot on ebay and market stalls.0
