I once bought an expensive perfume through ebay from New Jersey, USA.
The perfume turned out to be fake, because I know the actual smell of the original as I still had another bottle at home.
I complained to the seller, and they apologized, saying in the process of packaging some items must have been switced or something (which is a b.s.) and they promised me to refund my money if I send it back to USA.
I didn't send it back because it would have cost me so much money to send the package first class to USA.
That was the last time I bought anything from ebay.

you don't have to suffer that anymore especially when it is a fake, if you send it back and provide that postage proof to ebay, they'll refund you everything including your sending it back... almost makes it impossible for counterfeiters now so they resort to other sites.. This too happened to me with a perfume that is very expensive in real life and the bargain price I bought it for at ebay should have been the giveaway and I did have the original as well so I knew what it should smell like.
 
they don't refund you the cost of returning the item as far as i know unless the seller has agreed to it in the t&c.
dunno about sellers of fake items though, that may be different, i've only come across accidentally not as described.
 
ebay will do it, when I was refunded from that thief it was from ebay not his account but the woman promised me that they'd take action against him. which I doubt..
 
ebay covering themselves from a bad name - still that's a good tactic of ensuring buyer confidence.

Yeah.. I should have known it was too good to be true. In stores here, the perfume was sold for at least USD150, but I won it for USD29 only.
However, if I sent the fake perfume back to US, it would have cost me at least USD 20 not to mention the hassle. So I didn't do it, but I left really bad reps on his profile.

:haha: that is horrible my item originally sells for $285
http://www.amazon.com/Amouage-Ubar-Woman-Parfum-Spray/dp/B003CJ1IWK
and I still paid a considerable 1/3 of that so I had to do something about it.. there's a reason it was cheap they had synthetic stuff in it.. alot of the animal ingredients used in these Arabic perfumes like civet which is a musk excrement of a rare cat is super hard to find that's why it costs so much to begin with.. so anyhow.. yeah somethings one shouldn't compromise on.. and they do cheat alot on perfumes I notice..
 
omg!
civet......................

what is this? gaga's brand?

Have you not heard that the world's most expensive coffee, the kopi luwak from Indonesia, were taken from undigested coffee beans that had been eaten and excreted by civets?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_Luwak

Here's kopi luwak on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...313&_nkw=kopi+luwak&_sacat=See-All-Categories

However, I would never buy kopi luwak from ebay. You just will never know if it's legit.

ugh.. I can't even believe you know of her..
No, cat sweat and whale vomit (ambergris) secreted by whale sperm make for the most expensive perfumes in the world..
 
i take it you are paying for additional pictures which are smaller? if you haven't already done it, you can upload your picz to photobucket and use the html links in the upload picz part,
i have made the links and added them to a template of your listing (below).

to use this go into the "html" instead of "standard" tab under "describe the item you're selling" (listing part), deleting all the html text, and pasting this, if you choose not to save it, your normal listing will remain, you can see how it looks beforehand by clicking on the "standard" tab after pasting the new html:

As others have mentioned, Ebay can be a pain in the rear. Why don't you try Zazzle or CafePress? Those websites are known for selling customized t-shirts.
