Reason: Banned / Counterfeit item. Customers should contact eBay seller for a refund by opening a dispute with eBay. See Counterfeit item policy for help.

$90 @CW so $40 seems like a good deal. Seller also accepts offers.

Edit: As some people have noted this perfume may be a counterfeit / replica. I have tried to contact the seller to confirm its authenticity but have not heard back from them. However, I have received a shipping notice via AusPost so will update this post when it arrives. If it turns out to be a fake I will report them to eBay and Ozbargain and return it for a full refund.

I apologise in advance if you have purchased a bottle of fake perfume as a result of my post.

Update (Tue 25/7): I have received a reply from the seller and all it said was "it is real". Will wait and see when I receive it in the post.

Update (Sat 12/8): The item is delay so I lodged a dispute. To my surprise, the seller promptly gave me a full refund.

Update (Sun 20/8): The perfume has finally arrived and the seller asked me to pay him back. As I don't have a genuine Eros to compare it to I relief on Youtube videos and images I found on the web, anway it's definitely a counterfied. In saying that, I am somewhat impressed by the amount of effort that was put into replicating the packaging, there are very few telltale signs unlike the one shown in the Youtube video I linked below. The batch number matches what's on the bottle, there is a Versace logo printed on the inside of the cap, the colour of the cap is virtually indistingushible from the genuine one. However, the dead give away is the weight of the cap which only measures 14g whereas a genuine cap should weight 24-25g. The atomiser nozzel is white instead of black and there is a gap between the atomiser and the bottle. Also, the glass bottle itself is cheaply made, the surface is not smooth and has lumps here and there. See photos below

I have reported this seller to eBay.

    Wouldn't be overly confident it is genuine given the other types of items that seller sells.

    • citybargainhunter on 22/07/2023 - 11:34

      I thought the same, checked feedback no one has complained after 20 sold.

      Anyway, I took a punk

        took a punk where?

        But someone complained their penis enlargement cream bottle arrived empty, so not great signs for a number of reasons IMHO.

          The seller does feel a bit dodgey based on the other products he sells, but you never know.

    No price means it's free.

    This seller only sells unbranded generic products that looks like they would be sold at the dollar store. In fact I think this fragrance is the only product they sell that has a known brand name.

    You can scroll through their store and not see a single brand mentioned (apart from knock offs and imitations)

    High chance this fragrance is also not genuine, similar to the counterfeit Chanel Parfum deal that I pulled yesterday.

  • cryptos on 22/07/2023 - 11:52

    If you look through the positive reviews, the same feedback occurs from what looks like the same accounts, the AirPods review links to Versace Dylan Blue?

    • cnut on 22/07/2023 - 13:06

      I thought that was a sales tactic where they sell one thing to get ratings and then update the listing with something else? Or is that only happening with Amazon?

    • citybargainhunter on 22/07/2023 - 14:42

      This eBay store has over 12K listings and sold 4.7K items, but only 437 feedbacks. It is very weird.

      I will see what happens when/if the item arrives, can always do a charge back.

      • MS Paint on 22/07/2023 - 17:18

        Instead of a charge back against eBay just follow the correct eBay procedure for reporting a fake item.

  • Omarko on 22/07/2023 - 12:52

    I think the Versace Pour Homme is much nicer than this. I find this quite heavy to a point it gives me a headache.

  • Gunnar on 22/07/2023 - 13:20

    I personally wouldn’t go near this seller because of it being fake fake.

    The same seller has another posting for the same price, $45, for those willing to take a punt:

    • citybargainhunter on 22/07/2023 - 14:39

      It's the same listing, but the seller has changed the price from $40 to $45.

    You can watch this video to help you verify its authenticity when it arrives.

      If it is not authentic then you should report it to eBay and Ozbargain as well. We always ban sellers that are known to sell counterfeit products.

    I messaged the other seller who is selling these cheap ‘Versace’ perfumes. This is the response I got.

    "Thanks for your interest in our item. Sorry to tell you this is not original product. It is OEM. But it can work well as the original. Hope u can understand.
    If possible, hope to do business with you.
    Have a nice day.
    Best regards,"

    If it’s too good to be true, it usually is.

      lol, thanks for sharing

    • citybargainhunter on 22/07/2023 - 17:21

      Versace perfumes are not really that expensive. I bought a bottle of The Dreamer from CW for $40.

      https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/324839626955

      If sellers are not specifying they are "OEM" in their product listing, then it's false advertising and they are breaking the law by selling counterfeit goods.

  • soyea on 22/07/2023 - 17:37

    Seems like even if genuine the current formulation sucks donkey balls compared to the original release!

  • WasBargain on 26/07/2023 - 00:55

    Interested in your findings OP.

    It'll probably be OOS by the time you get it though.. 😅

    I have got it delivered today. I compared it with the original one which I am using and can definitely tell that seller is selling fake one. On the box it says made in china whereas on the bottle it says made in Italy. Bottle lid is lighter in weight then the original one. Thank you @citybargainhunter for sharing that video. I am going to report the seller

    • citybargainhunter on 06/08/2023 - 10:16

      Thanks mate, I haven't received mine yet, it was supposed to be delivered yesterday, tracking says "Delayed – waiting to be processed for delivery".

      • citybargainhunter on 13/08/2023 - 10:06

        Mine still hasn't arrived, I've asked for a refund.

        • citybargainhunter on 20/08/2023 - 15:07

          The perfume has arrived, updated description.

  • StephenCurry on 06/04/2024 - 14:47

    Just searching another product for a mate. Found this on eBay: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/196279283353. It seems to be super cheap compared to the price other store is selling. After seeing comments in this post we think we better avoiding it..
