I'm not being a troll. I'm being honest.
I've had to deal with sooo many sellers over the years. I've been able to instantly find the ones that don't know their item is authentic, or they DO know they are selling phakes and are tryign to hide that fact. They word things a certain way in their listings. They respond with certain kinds of messages. I guess your typical ebay buyer might not notice these nuances. But, to me they are clear as day.
So when I read what you say, my warning lights come on. It's not my fault.
You have only ONE thing you are currently selling that you aren't certain about?
They always tell me " I"m not an expert, so I'm not sure" " as far as I know based on my limited knowledge". Or some nonsense as that.
If you aren't sure, don't sell it. If you aren't sure, and are willing to risk the account, then go right ahead. If you are sure it's ⊗⊗⊗⊗, and do it anyways, then also go ahead. I don't report phakes. I message the sellers letting them know. It's " always' and " honest mistake".
So yeah, the only way to go about this, is to either not sell it, or to learn more about the product you're selling. If you do research and can't tell it's ⊗⊗⊗⊗, then the buyer probably can't either. But the only response you can give, is to say "I bought this from a reliable source, and am confident it is authentic. if for some reason you are not happy with your purchase, I will refund you. "
By the way, my first account ever, was suspended because ebay said " we aren't sure if you're sure that your products are authentic". I knew for a FACT they were.
