^^^Hahaha! my personal faves on ebay are the '12 Colour Mac Cream Eyeshadow Pallettes', I love how they come with sponge tip applicators lol. I can't believe how many people actually bid on those!

I was more referring to the really obvious fakes like those ones for 55 pigments for like $150 and 24 piece brush sets etc for $50 are pretty obvious, espcially the amount of auctions on that are the same and have the same pics. Even when I was brand new to MAC I thought those were suss and did a bit of checking and found out they were fake and it wasn't that hard to find out.
Check out thie 'MAC Fafi' quad
At least they don't use the words genuine or authentic in the description MACs 4 Colour Shimmer Eyeshadow - Browns - BNIB - eBay, Eye Shadow, Makeup, Beauty, Health. (end time 05-Jul-09 20:30:00 AEST)

It's a sad state of affairs when you can only trust a product's legitimacy if the description states it's authentic, isn't it?
I feel that if you're selling something and stating it's X brand, then it should be authentically that brand. Although I'd love to see "Fake MAC Brush Set" on ebay
But it's the same with other brands like Tiffany & Co or Tokidoki.. Ebay is full of fakes, using crappy pictures of products that are obviously fake to anyone who takes the time to research... But obviously there are a lot of people paying a lot of money for fakes because they don't know any better

I think some people don't care if an item is fake or not. As long as it looks ok, works alright then they don't mind.
I always report when I see fake stuff tho, it's really easy. Just scroll down to the bottom where it says "Report item" then choose counterfeit or copyright/ potential trademark infringements/ other replica or counterfeit items and right a short note about it. Voila!
I don't know if it makes a difference but I feel a little better for doing it

Yeah I report the really obvious ones when I see them. By what I've heard from others on Specktra ebay don't do much about it, but it's worth a try!

I just tried to get to it but it'll only show me the cached page from 22/6. Are you certain they've closed down and it's not just an error?
Paypal is usually pretty good with stuff like this, fingers crossed for you.

Hi ladies
Another Aussie here
I posted about a site http://www.macmakeup.com.au/ in the counterfeit forum and it's no longer online (I think?) Site is down for maintenance!
