the UK and US have different rules you can return a forgery if bought on the US site up to a year after you bought it if you can prove its fake ,the main thing is stick rigidly to the dates and deadlines ,if your the buyer you dont have too much to do open the case item not as described doesnt seem authentic and wait for a response if its contested send in your proof its fake usually a rejection /fail letter from one of e bays registered authenticators and let paypal do the work as a buyer your in the driving seat as long as you dont have a history of too many return requests the seller will need to send you a return label or if its a seller from another country enough cash to cover the return if they dont by a certain time paypal will rule in your favour and you will get a full refund they will usually ask you to destroy the item and sign a document stating that you have done so

its a little more tricky I actualy just won a no returned case as copywright infrighment as he had no right to sell reproductions so not only did I get the money back he wasn't allowed the itiem back because it was a reproduction and it must be destroyed so I was allowed to keep it so he coudnt sell it again.i won it on an appeal after he claimed it was a reproduce and won the case and had it closed in his favor

Thank you Tim this was what I was remembering hearing at one point in time. If you write forgery I believe they... ebay... wanted proof?

The situation that took place UNFORT was done outside of eBay and also via Friends/Family money transaction - a seller decided to hit up an eBay buyer and sold them items outside of eBay. Obviously this is all part of the scam as well. But there are some protections that are hopefully going to happen in the case that made me ask this question - I will report back on the sitch once I know if the buyer got their money back. Scammers are pathetic.
