happily in love asked:
See my last question for details. I bought some purses and didnt know if they were authentic or not. I have been comparing them to photos online of similiar authentic purses and they look exactly the same, but still I dont know. Can i sell them as a replica or fake if they are not real, or is that somehow against Ebay rules?

No. eBay has policies regarding the selling of fake items.
Many designers such as Chanel and Louis Vuitton also have people working for them to spot fake handbags being sold on eBay and other internet auction sites.

i think you should find somebody that is designer purse obsessed because alot of my friends can tell from a mile away if a purse is real. u will get in trouble if u sell a fake as real on ebay. good luck!

you should be able to sell it as a replica. Make sure you state it is a replica or copy.
But you can go get the purse looked at to see if it is the real deal

You can sell it as a “genuine?”…Then give clear photos,and thr real collectors will be able to tell if its real.

No. If there is any question at all whether it is authentic then call it a replica or anything you want, but the bottom line is that these bags are counterfeits. They are illegal. Even if you called the auction “black handbag” and left the brand out of it, it is still against Ebays trademark infringement policy.
Depending on the brand you could expect the auction to be removed and Ebay would threaten to or would suspend your account.

You can not sell replicas on EBAY. Actually it is a federal offense to sell them anywhere. It’s really not worth going to jail over.

It may not be against ebay’s rules but if the original owner is a vero member they might get your listings removed.
