Selling Replica Items On Ebay

[Tall_Mike]

Will, your account get banned from eBay if you try listing replica brands like Nike or Adidas?

The other day I saw a listing for a replica air Jordan hat and I was surprised since I thought eBay monitors this type of stuff from being listed.

Wanted to see if anybody has experience with this.

Figured this was too good to be true.

Thanks for the heads up!

Don't post or tell that's its a replica, I sell replica item before but it's okay as long as the buyer satisfy what they bought.

How would you title your listings then?

 

[loyskie67]

I title same as the original. As for me the item I sell looks like the original one, as long as the customer satisfies what they bought then it's fine but if they complain then just give them a refund and give the item for free.

Mostly I only have refunds 2 to 3 times a year which is pretty low of what I sold. Just give it a try...

It's a game in CD format, I make the CDs and case without box. When I post it include in the description that CD's without the box so they know before they buy.

Sued? maybe banned, they will not do that its a waste of their time.

Selling real Nike stuff gets you banned, stay away from Nike on eBay.

I'm selling the replica for brands like Harley Davidson. Keep your customer happy it wouldn't burnt. I don't mention its replica as products are of same quality as original. For back up I do purchase running eBay accounts.

@RajaManSea
Are you constantly losing accounts? If so how frequently are you getting banned?
or is it just a precautionary measure?

Don't sit on this

 

[Christianabreuh]

Yes, you would be banned from Ebay.

I lost 4 in last 2 years (not much). At a time I keep 3 accounts active with the same listings on every account. My photography is genuine one (never copied brand). Doesn't attach PayPal to eBay once selling started (1st time PayPal hold my amounts for 180 days along with eBay suspension). Keep my customers happy. If an item get reported, I removed all items from the same brand. There are other tiny things I do as precautionary measure but sword of suspension is always hanging. So keep a supply of 6 months old accounts with selling history.

So, if you are telling about clothing replicas, then I would say, yes you can sell,

But you cant mention that it's authentic, in the title you can't write brand, also in the listing in the brand area you can't mention the brand itself you have to write UNBRANDED, that's the way to go to sell replicas on eBay,

Example: There is a brand Off-White, you can write Off White, OffWhite, but can't Off-White.

If you want to sell as authentic only way to go is to sell high-end replicas, but that's churn and burn, when you sell branded item, PayPal will hold your money, it doesn't matter you have a good account or not, it's fishy, you sell Supreme, from China, so PayPal will hold money for 21 days, if a buyer is satisfied they will give you yours.

It also has risks, if the buyer asks for a refund PayPal will give them, as you sold replica, not a real one.

But I don't suggest you do that, as you only rely on a customer if he can say is it authentic or not.

Sorry for my bad English, hope you guys understand what I wrote.

I think even calling the brand OffWhite or Off White is quite risky.

In the title you can, but not in the description, if you don't write it in the title that's 100x better, but you still can with a changed name.
