1500 listed with bogus pics

Just a heads up,

this listing on ebay is using pics from a collected man's sale of the watch. See below:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mens-Rolex-...-/153232752297

https://www.acollectedman.com/produc...nt=42120676163


Seems suspect to me...

And to me. Not reported BUT message sent to seller?

Hi
Can you explain how your watches photos are being used/taken from here:

https://www.acollectedman.com/produc...nt=42120676163

Want to give you chance before reporting to eBay
Thanks

Lots of sellers do the same. What is suspicious? Is the watch fake? Doesn't look it. Just because you don't like eBay doesn't give you the right to question every listing. Stick to the fakes.

What do you mean? Copy photos from elsewhere to purport that it’s actually theirs?

That’s what this may appear to look like and no, not aware of any reputable seller that stoops to that level.
While this section is for fakes, it is also for potential scams as this may be.

May I kindly suggest you take a breather and step back and leave the oversight of the forum to the moderators.

It’s called “Watch Out”, that’s what the user are helping us do. Be more alert for potential issues, scams, fakes etc.

Agree with blueface...this isn't simply a case of using other STOCK photos, this person makes it seem like that is the watch they are selling by putting their logo on one of the pictures, etc.
