Hi I bought a Michael Kors watch on ebay, the seller has sent me a fake watch.

I can tell because the booklet has misprints and the watch is too light, the back case is misaligned. To an untrained eye, it would look genuine. I confronted the seller and she is saying it is genuine and she imported from USA. I want to take this matter to police as this is the third time in 3 years I have had fake watches delivered. I got the moneyback and returned their fakes but the time and effort is all gone to waste.

I want to teach the seller a lesson by giving it to police so that they can't keep claiming it is a genuine when they are selling fakes and wasting everybody's time.

What do you guys think?

    Report the sellers to eBay for counterfeiting. They will just change shops but it will cause them inconvenience to buildup more feedback and maybe knock out another template store. I used to do this with the legions of chinese sellers selling fake Spyder Ski Jackets.

    They won't do anything unless it's a large company, these fake asian clone companies don't have high enough funds to be targeted unless its a problem, or the company wants to do something about it, like the recent fake pokemon plushie clones made in korea.

    Don't bother contacting ebay about the seller because they don't care.

    Buy a real MK watch and send it to the seller to confuse her.

    Contact "Michael Kors" with all the details, they might or might not be interested in doing something about it.

    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times…….just a fool.

      Alternative Saying-

      There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, 'Fool me once, shame on…shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.' George W Bush

    eBay seller here.

    Going to the Police in this case will serve you no purpose.

    Just request for your money back under eBay's "Money Back Gaurantee". Especially if it is a fake , this will give the seller a strike in his selling history, furthermore, it means you will "teach" them a lesson.

    I know it can be frustrating and the fact that you had to wait for the item aswell, and that certain things don't meet your expectations but unfortunately the world's a mess and the digital world can be the unknown.

    Goodluck!

    If your brought of eBay… just contact eBay, it is against their policy to sell knockoffs. They will refund you.
