Fake box and papers

Do not buy from this guy. He sold me a Rolex box as being real and it is fake and not even a good fake.
Terry this guy needs to be reported.

I see the box you purchased now. The box and hangtag are definately fakes. The box by itself that you were trying to buy normally sells for around $150 plus or minus a few dollars either way. Be careful, and I hope you received your money back from ebay.

Terry, I've also noticed several power sellers lately with issues on ebay. I hope that all friends here realize that 'buyer beware" would apply to all deals on ebay, regardless of whether they are a power seller or otherwise. To me, a power seller is a professional sales person engaging in business, or a significant portion of their business, on ebay.

As far as this incident relates here, the guy has sold a fake box in the past and now is attempting to sell another. If he was warned about the last box being fake, and now is trying to sell another fake Rolex box, he is either clueless or attemping to commit fraud. Either way, I'll give him the benefit of doubt and call him clueless. Hopefully this can be brought to the attention of ebay. If that doesn't work maybe the proper law enforcement authorities could be notified. This isn't the seller's first auction.

This seller still has 100% positive feedback. Why don't you leave him negitive feedback? That would be helpfull to others. Why have Terry do you dirty work?

He said he will give my money back if I do not leave feedback. He claims he did not know it was fake but also said he has a few Rolex watches, I don`t know how he can not tell the difference. I told him it was illegal to sell counterfeit goods but he is still selling them.

Well, I hope you can stop him Terry. Many others will be scammed by him since no neg feedback is left.

That's what I thought . . . with feedback like that, it's all too easy to 'trust'.

Sellers can no longer even leave feedback from what I understand. You don't even have to worry about retribution. There's no excuse for not leaving negative feedback.
