I know this has been posted elsewhere before, but to save you time from searching for the negative feedbacks from all eBay sellers, you can copy and paste the eBay seller ID on Toolhaus.org to view the negative feedbacks as well as the neutral ones.

Ughhh
Fake Copper Sparkle - ended up to be chunks of copper glitter and did not even adhere to my MAKEUP BRUSH
Fake Deep Blue Green - glided on my skin but after about 5 mins it was already fading away ...
Fake Dark Soul - It actually looked quite authentic to the eye (the pigment), but like deep blue green, it was very cheap and quickly faded away....
Fake Blue - I was so excited to actually win this bid at such a great price...however it was a terrible knock off of Azreal Blue...I guess the darkened the auction picture to trick me? It looked so rich and bold in the picture...But boy, was I ever upset to test the quality and colour...
All of them had fake boxes and fake jars... what horrible people! UGH
Luckily I got my money back from 3 of the sellers, but the other one that sold me Dark Soul hasn't responded...eh...
I tossed them out...who knows what kind of ingredients are in those! Scary....
I'm not able to put the fake sellers names am I? ANYWAYS...
WELL ON A HAPPIER NOTE! - I purchased from ebay seller kjhymn recently, and I was pleasantly surprised that I finally got authentic gorgeous pigments
Goldenaire and Pinked Mauve! Love those colours already!
tankist , like it was stated many of time of above...is very reliable. I've but numerous pigments from that seller and haven't had a problem since! Reasonable prices too!

You can put the fake sellers names in this thread:
http://specktra.net/f257/ebay-seller...7/index15.html
It'll be good for those that do a search on this site for ebay sellers before they purchase from them (to see if they have had any bad feedback from specktra members)

I just want to add that most often when a seller refers to their "supplier", it likely means the other "seller" they bought the items from with their ebay bidder id and NOT their seller id, as many of them do this. I am in shock as to all these normally HTF pigment fakes updated here. This is the reason I do NOT purchase my mac stock from anyone who even *thought* about selling on ebay. You are ALL correct in stating that MAC does not have a secret wholesale and/or lower cost outlet to purchase items, that only ebay sellers are aware of. It's all BS if the seller will tell you that. I am absolutely 100 percent positive. There is no magic store that exists. With the exception of the CCO's around, there is NOT another store or "magic kingdom" as some of these sellers are saying, that exists. Enough already, if there were, wouldn't everyone be buying there and buying to re-sell it at a profit? You cannot sell authentic MAC for less than retail value *unless* you won a bid for such a lower price and then turned around and sold it. Most of this is occuring with MAC lots on ebay, where sellers are buying in huge bulk and not checking to verify every item they receive. Unfortunately, most of those items have passed hands so many different times, that by the time a buyer receives it, there is truly no telling who purchased it originally and from where. So, great job to all of you for being on the ball with this, I hate to see that both mac and genuine mac sellers - they DO still exist you know - are being compromised by fear of counterfeit items. Most reliable sellers are those that have been selling on ebay for many years, and certainly the ones that carry alot (some of them only) mac. I will also add that Panda is spot on with her pigment calls. Some are easy to tell they are fake, some are not as easy, but Panda is a mac pigment authentologist
. lol... I also bought a brush at the nordstrom mac counter a couple weeks back, it was an angled contour brush, #169 (the 3 tone color one) from racquel and now beauty powder blush, and the handle is stamped China. I brought it back down there, with my white #168 brush that says Japan, but actually, they assured me that LE mac items (including generic fafi packaging and doll items) were actually made in China for that run. The manager had the brush in sleeves that had both China and Japan on them and agreed to give me one that "says" Japan if I was just going to flip out over it, but I agreed to take the one I originally bought. It is authentic, same quality, but it did FREAK me out to see china on the handle, so thought I would pass that along. Sorry you all are having so many shity experiences with ebay sellers who sell mac. Most often, if the price looks too tempting, it is likely not authentic. Authentic mac sellers do not get authentic mac cheap. There is no such thing, as you all know already, but just wanted to say it again. Thanks for keeping this ebay sellers/fake items/avoid sellers/"what the hell do we do to get real mac items" thread going, it is quite helpful and appreciated. Will peek back in soon. Hope you all are lovin' your Heatherette
. WOOOOOOOT for heatherette!

lol, thank-you!! but i cant take all the credit - Xqueeze_me has an excellent eye for fakes as well - actually we have debated over many of them...LOL! - but we really couldnt have done this without the help from all of our friends here
we really ALL contribute to this forum, I just hope this forum helps others not to get bitten on ebay - many of us, myself included, have been.

No, there's 4 and 15 slot palettes.
And Cutibuttons apparently charges $14.99 for shipping a blush pro pan to Finland, haha, nice rip off. (that doesn't even include insurance, that you can purchase for an additional $1.65.)
