More fake boxes

EBay is awash with these with some sellers more brazen than others :

One can only imagine the nightmare ebay has from all the fakes:

1) Being reported

2) Irate (and usually uninformed) buyers later discovering they have been snookered

I dont think they give a T**** , thats the trouble!
How many times do you message Ebay and get a canned response not pertaining to the issue you asked about .

Does eBay normally have this many fake Rolex items or is this just recent?

Seems to be growing at the moment . Along with thousands of other non watch related products . check out designer clothing from the popular mens labels .

I would say eBay was worse in the past - they didn’t even have a copyright protection policy when I started selling there 15 years ago. Now volumewise - today they have millions more sellers and even the old % of scammers would mean thousands more fakes.

So I think the ratio of fakes is less, but the size of the pie grew exponentially.
