Re: Say i listed a replica and stated as such yet a buyer decides to purchase still?
 

I've had some "non-original" items that I wanted to sell, (I'm probably 45 years older than most of you guys on here, so my "non-original" item is probably different than most of yours, but just as frowned upon, being in a certain touchy category.

The way I got rid of them was to make it both obvious in the description and pricing it so low it was a bargain in itself. There are enough bargain hunters on Fleabay who by their very nature are thrilled with a good deal, and when they get one they are a zillion times less likely to try to use their dispute-opening power on one. I think more of the problems arise when the buyer isn't positive it's non-original or if the price is too close to the original.

That being said, that's how I moved the stuff I just wanted to sell or get rid of. And I knew when listing it that should any hick-ups arise, I'd be taking the hit and wouldn't win any dispute. It's not a category I'd like to sell in regularly, or to make a business out of. There truly are plenty of good ideas within the rules, it's usually just a lack of creativity or laziness that keeps people dealing in these categories full time.
