how long has ebay allowed sellers to sell fake items

[Anonymous]

i brought a job lot watches, and when i received them there was several fakes, i opened a case and stated the seller  had sold me fake watches, the next thing i got a message stating case had closed in the favour of the seller. so i take it now we can all sell fake items here on ebay am i right ??

I bought a fake Omega Speedmaster on eBay years ago.  It cost me £10 and still going strong.  I obviously knew it was a fake - a tenner for a watch like that is really too good to be true.

Did the seller actually say they were the real thing in the descripiton?  It could be that the seller didn't even know they were fakes and it was an honest mistake.

Ebay does not allow fakes, even if seller says so.

They might not allow it - but there are plenty around. eBay can't check every single item to make sure its genuine.

Which is why buyers are covered by MBG, regardless of any proof from buyer.
