Just wondering, there are sellers on eBay who sell like hundreds of MAC eye shadows a month, isn't buying and re-selling them [or anything really] for profit illegal? I mean it's another thing if you buy something and then later realize you're never gonna use it and then sell it but... Where do these people get the stuff they're selling anyway? I doubt they've bought them at a MAC counter [I mean those who sell tons of them]... Not trying to accuse anyone of anything, I'm just curious.

They're a bit smaller, square(ish) and have two sides, one of which is magnified.

Provided that the products have been legally obtained and are genuine, selling them is not actually illegal any more than buying and selling a car or clothes for example. It may be that some people get the products as part of their job and their contract forbids resale but that doesn't make it illegal, just a breach of contract which their employer would have to prove to take action against them.

i emailed southernsal22 asking why he only has numbers instead of the names of the colors like the macwebsite has and that the mac eyeshadows that i buy at the counter do not have mirrors and aplicators in them - so let's see what he writes back?!?! i also noticed that the few people on ebay selling the "fake" mac eyeshadows are all using different numbers for the same color so i also find that amusing. for example one person is saying brown is #3, another is selling brown as #14?? if it was truly mac, it wouldnt be mixed up like that

my opinion

Numbering is a new system. It means you need far fewer colours as you can make a #6 by using twice as much #3

southernsal22 wrote me back and said that the perfumes look different because they are smaller versions of the original. i emailed him/her back saying that there are no other versions of the perfumes or bottles and that stickers look fake. no further reply as of now. i guess the jig is up for this person!!

^ Yeah, die hard fans can spot fakes, but the problem is that most of these fake items still are being sold to people that probably believe that they are getting real mac stuff. People who are not die hard mac fans. Even some girls that are on this forum still can't tell the difference.

What's really sad is that people that don't know any better will buy this stuff and think MAC products are crap.

This is true. OMG, I can't believe some of the people on ebay! I never had a problem with fakes. But I did buy a blush that was sold as brand new and when I got it not only was it used (alot) but the color was nothing like what she pictured/described. So I asked her if I could return it and she then left me wayyyy negative feedback and started sending me threatening emails. Ebay never responded to my emails so I basically got screwed! I'm done w/ ebay ... at least for awhile. Some of those fakes are SO obvious!!! Another pet peeve I had w/ Ebay is that you have to sift through sooo many pigment samples, and burned MAC training cds, and off-brand shadows which include a MAC sample so they sell it on the MAC section, and fake brushes. It's soooo

I couldn't find the listings for the perfumes to check, but they actually did come smaller once. Not saying that the seller is legit, because I saw the fake shadows . . . but actually there used to be a smaller and larger version of MV1, MV2, MV3, greenify and pink aura. The current sizes that are sold at mac stores are new. They were just repackaged around the time that Turquatic and Violetrix came out.
