technically, knock-offs CANNOT be sold on ebay.

Prada can come after you if they see you selling a fakey.

OK, I just checked the policy. YOU CANNOT SELL ANY FAKEYS ON EBAY, even if you specify it's fake!!!!

ebay counterfeit/replica policy


Replica, Counterfeit Items and Unauthorized Copies

Counterfeits, unauthorized replicas, unauthorized items (such as counterfeit watches, handbags, or other accessories) or unauthorized copies (such as copies of software programs, video games, music albums, movies, television programs, or photographs) are not permitted on eBay. Unauthorized copies include (but are not limited to) copies that are pirated, duplicated, backed-up or bootlegged. It is illegal to sell unauthorized copies of media.

Guideline: If the product you are selling bears the name or logo of a company, but it wasn't made or endorsed by that company, don't list it on eBay.

Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:

* Listing cancellation
* Limits on account privileges
* Account suspension
* Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings
* Loss of PowerSeller status

The following are examples of items that may not be listed on eBay:

* A purse that has the Chanel® name on it, but was not made by Chanel
* Sunglasses bearing the Oakley® name, but which are a style never made by Oakley
* A fake autograph passed off as the real thing
* Replacement parts for an HP® printer which use HP's parts number and name, but were not made by HP
* Pirated copies of video games
* VHS, CD-R , or DVD-R copies of television programs taped off of television
* "Backup" or "archival" copies of software programs
* Pirated copies of music
* "Bootleg" recordings of live music performances
* "Home video" versions of a movie still in theaters
* Software loaded onto a hard drive that is not being sold with the original media (disks, manuals, etc.)
* CD-Rs containing scanned pages from a book, magazine, manual or other copyrighted written materials that were not written by you


Why does eBay have this policy?

eBay urges sellers and buyers to comply with all governmental laws and regulations. Since the sale of counterfeit items, unauthorized replicas and unauthorized copies is prohibited by law sellers may not list these items on eBay. This policy helps protect buyers from purchasing counterfeit or fraudulent items, helps protect intellectual property rights owners against infringement, and helps create a safer marketplace.

Thanks, Shorty!

I have a family member who keeps giving me fake bags. Not that I'm a snob, but I'm very picky about my bags, AND, I've found that fakes always fall apart anyway.

Nevermind the time I brought the "coach" wristlet that he gave me back to the Coach store to exchange it for one in black, only to have them point out to me that mine was fake Chat Icon Chat Icon

I tried selling kate spade on ebay specifying in the auction that I was unsure if it was authentic or not and ebay pulled the auction both times I tried.
