I have received 2 emails from this person now, and will post them both. She has been really lovely, but not really willing to listen.
The first...
I would never sell a MAC item that would ever not be genuine, My Business, My loyal Customers, and my reputation are far too important for me to even consider that. It wouldn't be worth it to me in absolutely any way.
All my MAC Items are bought from the biggest and most honourable MAC Supplier in the United States, That supplies not only America, but worldwide, They are far too Big of MAC Distributors, to even risk their licence selling fakes. All their items are Guaranteed FRESH AND AUTHENTIC.
I do not purchase from Asia, Off small sellers, as I am aware as you are how much Fake MAC is out there, and consider myself a pretty good judge of picking a fake in seconds, There are so many small ways to tell, and most are very obvious to an eye that knows what to look for, Sadly not a lot of people know what to look for, I have a couple of fake items here, that I show to my local customers, to show them against the real product on if they are going to buy from places like eBay etc, what to be extremely careful of.
I see fakes advertised so much and it makes me really angry that these people can actually get away with it.
I can assure you 100%, You will NEVER be sold ANYTHING fake from my site, or from ME, actually I just got another very big MAC order arrive today to list, of some beautiful items.
Please feel free to reply and have a beautiful night,
The second...
I dont think I can try to convince you in any way, I think the best thing you can do is take it in to a MAC store yourself for them to validate your eye-shadow for you, I have absolutely no doubt they will verify that it is the real thing for you.
Fake MAC eye-shadow wouldn't come as yours did
Real MAC shadows have the NAME of the shade on the box in a round sticker ( Fake shadows do not) They normally just have a number.
Real MAC shadows have the name underneath the shadow (Fake do not)
REAL MAC shadows will also have a sticker barcode on the box (Fake MAC will have the barcode printed directly on the box)
As on my ad, I cannot take returns on cosmetics due to hygienic reasons, which I am sure you wouldn't want any cosmetic that has been in somebody else hands either.
I have sold hundreds of MAC items to many different customers, This is the first time I have ever been suspected of trying to sell fakes or replica's, It is just something, that I would never even consider, as I said, My business, Reputation and customers are far to important to me. Please have it verified for your own peace of mind hon. I understand you must do that, but Im sure you will be very happy when you do.
I live 2 hours from a MAC store so no way I am going down there just to verify it. It's not worth the time or the money.
The base of the shadow is exactly that same as listed here
M.A.C. Eyeshadow Comparison
The inside of the container is the same, the pan holder part is the same, and the pan is definitely not flat on the bottom, has a ring.
As for the box, the barcode is identical (with a couple of different numbers) as the fakes in this page

It's basically a combination between all the fake stuff in those two threads.
Panda, I know that your suggestions come with no guarantees, I just wanted to give the seller benefit of the doubt before a newbie like me went around bagging a seller that you have suggested. I suggested to her that perhaps she has accidentally sold me one of the fakes that she keeps to show her customers, but she hasn't responded to it.
My intention was never to piss people here off, never realised that me holding out for an explanation from the seller would cause so much trouble!
Spectra has always been a valuable source of info for me and my mates etc.I want to be informed about fakes so I know whom can i trust when i spend my well earned dosh ...no need for anybody to spit their dummy jus cos you don't like some of the posts... but you just have to mix the rough with the smooth same on the net -same in real life..
