Item removed for sale.

[smartkathleen-2008]

Hi can I have some advice please. I sold an item on eBay which I advised on the listing that it was NOT authentic. I didn't use any trade mark name to sell it. The item was sold to a buyer who knew it wasn't authentic. I was about to post it when i received an email from eBay to say that this had been removed. But I sold it already. What happens next? Do eBay refund the money to the buyer or do I go ahead and post it ? Has it been sold or has it not. I'm confused. If the buyer has to have their money refunded that's absolutely fine. I'm just confused as what i should do now. I contacted the buyer and she still wants it as she knew what she was buying. Thanks.

You are not allowed to sell fakes on ebay or anywhere else as it is illegal

It is up to you if you send it or not but fakes are not allowed in the post or anywhere else for that matter

I realise that now. However at the time I thought that as I've seen so many others on eBay that says in their listing that it's not authentic or real I was ok to sell it. Naivety on my part and have learned a lesson. I thought it was illegal to say an item was authentic when it wasn't. Again naivety. My question is do you know if the buyer will receive a refund from eBay for the purse or will I have to do it from my end given eBay have removed the listing. Confused. Thanks.

Post the item, and Not Authentic is Fake, that is why ebay got involved.
