    Fake 7900s now??

    I've seen them posted on Craigslist locally, but even there they're only selling for $25-$30. People are paying almost as much for fakes as for the real deal on the Bay!This one is at $44 plus shipping right now with 8 hours left...Name:  $(KGrHqV,!gsE9wz0FB24BPcQYWHpEw~~60_12.JPG

Size:  28.4 KBVery fake, but someone that doesn't know any better is paying as much for that as they could for a real 7900 if they knew better. I reported this one - such a shame.

    I know ebay doesn't do sh*t to take care of this problem so you know what you do?

    wait for the buyer to post feedback and contact that buyer directly telling them the watch is a $10 fake.


    Don't report ebay, go direct to the buyer.

    PS. Believe it or not, ebay is out there to make profit. Profit cannot be had unless people sell their counterfeit stuff on ebay. So unless ebay starts to see a flux of returns and complaints from the buyers, I dont think they will do anything.

    I think ebay might get in serious trouble sooner or later as they now also handle the payments - at least in Germany when you sell something people are paying ebay and ebay then pays the seller. So the more they get involved in the actual business transactions I think the more reason they have to do something about the fakes.
