You can sell them but if anyone finds out that they are fake they can write negative comments that will bring down your credibility considerably and you will have less buyers.

You can say that they are “inspired by Coach” (or whatever) but if someone reports you to Ebay — even though you said that they were fake — they will remove your auction, and you will lose your listing and gallery fees. Ebay removes auctions first, and asks questions later. They care about the buyers more than the sellers. So do it if you don’t mind maybe losing your fees.

of course. as far as I know you can sell pretty much anything on e-bay…and you wouldn’t run into prob’s as long as you are honest about what you are selling…

You can’t sell replicas or “designer inspired” item on eBay. Your listing will be removed before it got listed. I would suggest you not to become a seller on eBay. The most important thing you need to know is: you are the last person who gets paid. First of all, you need to pay eBay insertion fee and final value fee. FVF only applies if your item is successfully sold. Second of all, you will be charge a PayPal transaction fee for payment processing service. Then you need to pay USPS, UPS, or DHL to deliver the item to the buyer. The left over amount, minus your cost and 15% of government tax, will be the actual amount that goes into your pocket.
Although eBay claim your item might be eligible for an insertion fee credit if your item didn’t sell or the winner didn’t honor the bid. However, you can only use it once. In order to be eligible for the insertion fee credit if your winner didn’t pay, you will need to first of all file an Unpaid Item dispute on the 8th day after the auction ended. Then you’ll have to wait another week for the winner to response. If the winner didn’t response, then you can relist your item and get your insertion fee credit when your item is sold the second time. However, if the Non Paying Bidder reply to eBay says they want to complete the transaction, then you’ll lose the eligibility EVEN THOUGH THEY STILL HAVEN’T PAY YOU.
Remember, never ever use the “Sell Similar” feature even you have like 100 identical items because once you list your item through “Sell Similar”, you’re consider relisting your item and you are automatically not eligible for insertion fee credit. Tricky huh?
The most stressful part is their feedback system. Sometimes, there are sick people out there, they bid on your item just to mess around. Some even leave you a negative feedback just for fun. eBay will not do anything to remove it. Even though you think you’re undeserved, eBay will not remove it unless they are presented with a valid court order stating that the comment is slanderous, libelous, defamatory or otherwise illegal. eBay doesn’t remove Feedback without a court order, even if a member believes it is retaliatory, false, unfair, or harmful to his or her name, character, or reputation.
But these are nothing compares to their new feedback policy starting in May 2008. Sellers are no long able to leave negative feedback for bidder. Sellers can only leave positive feedback. Yup! Even the winner doesn’t pay; you still cannot leave negative feedback to him or her. The seller will have no way to find out the credibility of the bidder.
Sometimes if eBay thinks your shipping charge is unreasonable, your listing will be removed without prior notice.
My opinion is, don’t do it. It’s not worth the time since you don’t make much and it’s very stressful.
