Thank God For Paypal protection. I recently bought a rolex Sub no date with papers on Ebay. wore it for a week and then gave to a watchmaker to check. He says its a good fake! Buyer beware! From now on i will probably only start buy from ADs or really known Grey market sellers like Jomashop. Anybody have a similar experience?

eBay's nowhere to play unless you know what you're doing!!!

i would never bother buying a rolex from ebay when there are so many good options available if going the non-ad route

Great deals can be had on ebay, but it's a minefield and you have to know what you're looking at/for.

Any pictures ? Would be good to see

Paypal protection is great for buyers - not so good for sellers. I had sold a camera on eBay a few years ago that turned out to be purchased with a stolen credit card. Unfortunately, this was discovered a few weeks later after Paypal had paid me and without notification. Once day I just happen to check my Paypal account and it was negative over $600. I contacted them and they told me about the fraudulent purchase. I told them I already shipped the camera and asked where's my sellers protection? Essentially they told me "too bad for you". I told them I'm not paying the deficit in my account as I'm out the camera. We went back and forth over this for a couple of weeks until I threatened legal action - they finally said I didn't have to pay the deficit but were closing my eBay account. Perfect as I told them I would never use their service again anyways.

Check the forum rules - no discussions about fakes in the general discussion area

As a relative novice here, I have a related question. I read here from time to time about "trusted sellers." Is this anyone who posts an ad on this forum or some privileged subset of individuals who have successfully sold a certain number of pieces?

vladamir15 · 4 October 2018, 06:06 AM

Ebay is the absolute worst

Chadridv · 4 October 2018, 06:28 AM

Even Joma shop is known for having issues, I’d stick with the trusted sellers here on TRF or ADs only.

brooklynfanatic · 4 October 2018, 06:47 AM

here is a pic. sorry for posting where im not supposed to can a mod move it?

If you want to buy gray go with a "Trusted Seller" on this site and you won't have these issues. It is quick and easy I have used DavidSW numerous times and always a seamless transaction, buy the seller always before you buy the timepiece IMPO.

As a novice here, who is a "trusted seller" in the For Sale section?
