Martin959 Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 So, this just happen... I bought the other day an """"""HKS"""""" grounding kit... and this is what I got... As you can see... Fake. THIS is the original one...
Martin959 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Posted June 26, 2014 It was on eBay BTW... The best part comes when I see the "Before use this product, please read the back side instruction"... in the back there are just """"HKS"""" logos... and thats it...
Martin959 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Posted June 26, 2014 Off course, I will put a negative feedback... And it came from UK... thats the most impressive part... @matt... No!!!! It says that is from "japan" jajajajajaja xD "Yeah, we will put that comes from JAPAN, and that the instructions are at the back..."
Gambit Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Shocking I know my missus bought some YSL make up of eBay. That came looked legit but when you looked at it next to the real stuff you could tell. Annoyed me when I found out and what she had paid for it Not sure what she did about it in the end. 1
Martin959 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Posted June 27, 2014 Yeah... but you can always give them bad reputation on eBay... ;)
Gambit Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 It was a registered business but I know she tracked it down to being a house some where even found it on google maps, turns out wasn't the place the registered building was meant to be. I think she was going to report it to Trading standards I think. Don't get me wrong I don't mind buying fakes if I know it's fake, it's when it's passed on as real it bugs me :) 3
JusNoGood Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 It was a registered business but I know she tracked it down to being a house some where even found it on google maps, turns out wasn't the play the registered building was meant to be. I think she was going to report it to Trading standards I think. Don't get me wrong I don't mind buying fakes if I know it's fake, it's when it's passed on as real it bugs me :) Yea i agree to that. 1
Martin959 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Posted June 27, 2014 Yeah, but in this case didnt say anything about fake... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121338410300?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Mr B Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 If he sent that standard 1st class I would of probably claimed never received & get my money back via PayPal. Indeed not technically correct but at least you get money back & can do something with the free tat you got. Personally eBay are at fault as the amount of fake & unlicensed goods listed is unbelievable & they need monitor the worst offenders. As Gambit said if you know you buying fake & price fair then all well & good but in cases like this the fookers need sorting & best way is making sure they don't keep your money thus they are loosing money :-) If they start loosing too much they go under or clean up. 1
BoozyDave Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Just start a dispute, item not as described, PayPal will give you a refund [emoji106] If it was sold as a replica, then you can expect slightly worse quality or fitment. But selling it as genuine is fraud 2
Ash007ks Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 same sort of thing happens with the DV however ive ended up with two genuine ones off eBay so they are not all bad, whats the difference between a Vibe grounding kit and a HKS other than the money and price ??
