Fake Pandora earrings. Described as genuine.

[hutchinsonalison2012]

Hi, I bought Genuine Pandora rose gold earrings costing £29.00 plus postage on ebay. I appreciate it was in August and no longer on my 'bought' list to report to ebay. I had the earrings looked at in a Pandora shop and they confirmed they are fake. This was after buying a recent pair from a different seller which were also fake. That matter was resolved and i was refunded but it arose my suspicion about the first pair. I have evidence on my PayPal account and an email address which i have emailed but have had no response. Do i have a case with the first seller or is it too late? I have photos of the real and fake earrings and a paypal transaction as evidence.
Any advice? Thanks

" I appreciate it was in August and no longer on my 'bought' list to report to ebay."

Just for info. purchase history goes back for a maximum of 3 years, look at the top right side and adjust the time period.

You hae 30 days on ebay and 180 days on paypal to open any dispute.

If you open a dispute in paypal for a fake item then you will most likely have to show written evidence that the item is fake

A lot of items on ebay are fake 

If it is a business seller in the UK then report to Trading Standards. You may have to go through Citizens advice and they forward it

Or it it is a seller selling lots of fakes.They have to be in the UK as TS have not way of dealing with sellers overseas

Thanks everyone. Lots to follow up on. I'll let you know. Looking into the 3 year thing first to contact seller.

Paypal allows 180 days to open a case, but whether they would allow a  "not as described" case after 4 months, I don't know. No harm trying though.  If they do, you would have to return them by a tracked method at your own expense, and provide a tracking number.

I found the earrings in the history thank you. It says the seller is no longer registered to ebay. I have sent a second message through ebay. I'm not hopeful of a response. Looks like a pop up seller with a short history. Possibly now selling under a new name as i see the same elaborate wording used in other product descriptions.
