I don't judge Chinese sellers except for when I have conversations where they have outright lied to me and said products were authentic or said "high copy". Alibaba does have a method to reporting sellers to the site themselves if they're selling copyrighted items and claiming them as legit. I will dumb myself down and have a conversation long enough to set the seller up and report their company name. Those pigment lots were a lot of fun because they all had their batch numbers wrong, ultra bold lettering and those weird pour tip openings and were a miraculous $92 to ship to the US for 54 pieces.
I shut down one of their big Hello Kitty sellers when MAC ran out by mass reporting with attached Word document the conversations where the male tried telling me his brushes were legit as well as their whole supply of bags, palettes and all. The brushes I could tell a mile away were fake by the hair colors and handles alone. Still, there's the idea he tried playing me for stupid but US sellers know what they're buying when they pay $6 for an item that will make them $32.99 with free shipping on Ebay. I posted the convo here in Specktra when I noticed the fake mineralize eyeshadows and Dazzleglasses because that's how these sellers overseas work. At least she was honest and said they were copies because some aren't and lie through their teeth.
You remove the mysterious "wholesaler" or "distributor", which in cases is alibaba sellers, and Ebay and Ioffer sellers lose their method to buy them overseas. I was told to order the entire Hello Kitty set would cost me $300 plus shipping to ship here from Hong Kong. The guy was saying to put it on Ebay and make money like his other customers did which my jaw dropped over. I don't tell them where I know the flaws in packaging because then they try to get the packaging right based off learning their printing mistakes. If you look at alibaba, you'll see their company information is available when you look up their individual items under their business info..."Gold Supplier" this and that. I have them send me an invoice for alleged items to verify address matches visible company info and report my convos over then to the baba men. Yes, I lie when I have them send me an invoice when I have no intention of buying but it's the only way I have to accurately confirm their addresses so I in turn am misleading them and I have yet to feel bad about it.
I don't do this out of spite but to remove the middle man so US sellers lose their connections. I'm into the idea of knowing the make up I put on my face has passed an FDA measure of some kind and deemed safe for use. Ebay didn't respond when I reported so I went to the bigger dogs and took a blow at them. I'm older and some of the girls bidding are 17 and don't know their products yet and leave positive feedback thinking their purchases are real. I'm not knocking them because we were all new to it at some point and how many of us get disappointed when we find we paid that much for the name and realize it's fake product?
My 14 year old sister gets mad when I make her show me anything she's swapped or bought but I do it because she knows the name and not the product packaging and I want her to be healthy years later. God knows I'd beat the heck out of the person that sold her something that made her sick or put her in a hospital. That's why I am the way I am because there are risks to it health wise when things haven't been tested thoroughly and deemed safe for use by people. I also hate paying for the name of something I'd be terrified to use down the line and see it as a waste of money and I feel disappointed in them as a seller for treating my health like I didn't matter. On my scale, compassion for others ranks higher then greed but with some that's not the case and they feel no remorse selling what they do despite a possibly negative reaction to the person on the recieving end. I would rather buy from a reputable source like a counter or a CCO or buy from those who have made good with their word and sent what was supposed to be sent.
