eBay Sellers/Fakers to AVOID

[rockin]

nabeelkarim has a number of fake pigments listed.

Now here's a thing - both cutebabydoll6 and nabeelkarim live in Leicester, sell fake MAC and cutebabydoll6 has bought 2 car CD changers from nabeelkarim, for which both of them used the identical fancy way of writing feedback on one of the items. Am I reading too much into this?

Oh, and both are asking for immediate payment, and both have now started calling their pigments 'MAC Style'. The buyer that recently left feedback for nabeelkarim declaring their purchase of this item http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=110181944079 to be "Beautiful, genuine mac products" (none of the other buyers of that item have yet left feedback) also comes from Leicestershire. Hmmm

If it walks like a duck...

It wouldnt shock me - a lot of the counterfeit sellers either have multiple accounts or know other counterfeit sellers.

All listings reported. If I find out how to tell ebay of my suspicions, I'll do that, too.

The sad thing is that people are still buying, despite my prominent feedback. Hopefully it has put others off, though. One did write to ask about it, and is happy that I have prevented her making a mistake as she, too, is new to MAC.

Time I was in bed. I've got to get the kids up in the morning

fiona_759 - Spot the mistake for this disgusting pigment!!

 

[wolfsong]

Oooh the sticker, the 'e', the colour (camera holds some blame though), the dome lid, the font looks a bit too thick (could again be blurring from camera). Anything else?

Wow, I really wanted Emerald Green pigment and saw a listing by jctrojan. I looked at the other pigments sold and there were names used for pigments that are supposed to be eyeshadows. Then I did a search here and found out they were a bad cookie! Thank goodness. Well, it's obvious that they're still selling fakes

Look at that lot of fake pigment.

Fake eyeshadows. Authentic MAC Eyeshadows are completely round. There are no corners sticking out for hinges on authentic MAC like these have. These are definitely fake. The colors are not listed either.

All of this seller's pigments lack the label on the base of the jar and the barcode on the box is embossed on. And no color names either.

1. Box is disgusting.
2. Box has no sticker.
3. Inner seal on 2nd picture does NOT look authentic, it has a strange hole in it.
4. Pigment looks disgusting.
5. Pigment is by number.

Eyeshadows have 2 compartments with mirror and applicator. FAKE!

seasoncolour - It's one of those disgusting fakes. Look at the inner lid. Lots more from from HK. I think they're 1-day listings.

-------------------------------
eBay is so F-ING pissing me OFF. I just received a message from them telling me that they've cancelled one of my listings due to policy violation - Misleading and Discouraging Payments. I put Internet Banking/Bank Deposit (For Australian Buyers) and Paypal (For overseas buyers only). They removed the listing due to selectively offering those payment methods to buyers. I HAVE seen a lot of sellers doing that as well and I don't see their listings being removed?! GAWD. GO CATCH COUNTERFEITERS/FAKERS, ya THIEVING a**HOLES!!!!

I'm wondering if that's what the funnel-like contraption in the fake jars I received would have looked like had I lifted the plastic part out.

I really don't see what's wrong with specifying different payment types for different countries. It's something you should be allowed to do.

Meh. I can't be stuffed thinking about it anymore. eBay is REALLY pissing me off. Anyway, one of the fake pigment sellers (pmjkl7) sent me this message:
Quote:

[FONT=arial,sans-serif]you send messages to my buyers again about my items for sale or items that i have sold ebay will be informed you have no right sayin i am selling fake goods i bought them off someone from america so if they are fake thats not my fault not that its anything to do with you it goes to show how much of a sad and lonely life you must lead as it must of took you months to find out all this info !In future keep your comments for someone else in "australia." [/FONT]

Don't even know how to use a full stop, this faker. I was up at 6am when I read that message.. got so pissed that I posted it here then went back to sleep. Now that I'm awake and can think properly, I can't be bothered replying because I know what a vile person she is. Just so NOT worth my time to even flick a second at her. *shakes head*

 

[rockin]

So they don't care if they're selling fakes, so long as they get paid for them

I hope someone realises they have bought fakes from them and reports them to Trading Standards!

Cutebabydoll6 still seems to be making sales despite my feedback, and she's getting positive feedback for what are obvious fakes. It's so depressing! I hope Trading Standards or MAC catch up with her - both have her details.

Ive been apparently reported to ebay twice - if they say that or threaten it i tell them to go ahead its a good idea, that ebay will take more of an interest in their auctions, and see what i have written about them - thus putting two and two together and remove them (hopefully). They dont have a leg to stand on.
