    i bought pair of LAURA ASHLEY lamps from ebay...they arrived and upon unpacking them..the seller obviously missed the BHS stickers on each one!!.
    Labels are interesting things.

    I do appreciate that you were cheated as you didn’t get what you paid for but, if the quality was the same and the styles equally attractive, would you pay significantly more for the LA lamp?

    We fitted new ceiling lights in our dining and sitting rooms a few years ago. We looked in expensive lighting shops, cheaper lighting shops, Laura Ashley, BHS, DIY sheds etc. In the end we found and bought exactly what we wanted in Argos for peanuts. We spent well under £100. We could have easily spent £600 or more in the more expensive shops for fundamentally the same thing.

    I have recently bought quite a bit of "fake" Tiffany on Ebay - of course it was not advertised as such or even the word Tiffany used but I knew all the same -unlike the OP I paid a very small price and was under no illusions that what I would receive would be fake. The products were so lovely , not in any way tat. Reading the post above I am wondering if maybe they came from one of those chinese outlets (bought them from HK) ..maybe they were not fakes at all ???? The packaging was beautiful - I had many friends/family very pleased at Christmas !!
    They won't be to happy when they come out with a rash or when they try to clean their items with silver polish.
    Believe me!
    Third time lucky on WW I hope :j

    A claim for item not as described would require item to be returned.

    I thought if it was fake, Paypal wouldn't ask you to return it? Or am I barking up the wrong tree here?

    in my instance i could either return them or provide documentation from a third party with proof the item was destroyed.

  • That's what I was thinking of, lol. I knew I wasn't going completely nuts.
