    He is advertising them as authentic, though. People here actually care if its legit or not. Otherwise this wouldn't even be a discussion. This only makes it more annoying when trying to find deals because you have pricks like this canadian trying to make a quick buck off people who don't know any better.

      Hence my first part of the comment:

          to report fake items on Ebay:

          go to an item description, such as this one

          click on Report Item on the right hand side

          Choose:

          Reason for report: Counterfeit and Copyright violations

          Detailed Reason: Potential trademark infringement

          Additional Information: Counterfeit clothing, shoes.....

          the more reports they receive, the better the chance of getting a seller banned.

            So here's the person selling the RO FW08 Funnel collar. Did he change his location as I thought he was in Montreal at one point?

              This wasn't a very pleasant buying experience but I learned a lot.

              Now I know how banks work under situations like this and the time it takes to get the chargeback. I learned how law enforcement does little to nothing when it comes to petty crimes like this. All they do is record data. And it makes it even harder to go after him when you are in another country. And because they operate anonymously behind a computer, he can come back again and again under different accounts, sell with different pictures, tweak descriptions written in different formats, and keep getting away with it..

Also, the seller did mention that none of the shirts will ship with tags.
              he won't sell to locals snooping around and asking questions. his strategy was to post pictures of items with tags that were never detailed enough to discern real from fake. the way he handles customer service was like if you were buying from a store with return policies and bullshit, but with polite and articulate responses trying his best to satisfy you. never did he reveal his name or phone number. you never knew who the hell you were talking to. the name of his company is like a mish mosh of old ebay usernames. when i gave his shipping address to montreal police, they didn't find the business, but they found his number using the physical address, which i assume is his apartment..

              that would be difficult as we had already exchanged nasty emails. if i were to buy from him again, he would see that coming as a form of feedback retaliation.

              i reported about 10 items he had on ebay. i don't know how many you need to close an account. but my biggest victory was exposing him here and that prevented a few sz members from being defrauded..

                Man, all this talk about the fake RO stuff on eBay is totally worrisome/irksome, since I frequently look there to buy stuff, and especially because I have been trying to sell a legit RO item on eBay (at a good price?) for about two months now with no success or much interest—the potentially fake stuff seems to generate a lot more attention.

                  yea they are not too effective with banning users, afterall its just income to them. but I think/hope that several users reporting one seller might have a better outcome.

                        Well, I don't think I should say, because I don't want to infringe upon the selling rules here. I just wanted to make the point that as an eBay consumer, all this RO fakery/jerkery makes me angry. And as an inexperienced seller (just trying to make back some but not all of the money on an unreturnable item), it's been frustrating and confusing trying to navigate this impersonal barrier on eBay between the seller and potential buyers.

                          I live really close to Sunnyvale, if any one has had problems with him I'd be more than happy to pay him a visit. Assuming you have a return address. PM me.

                            They do look legit. At least the tags in the pictures are legit.
