PayPal closed my account, VeRO selling on eBay

[jeffweico]

I will never understand why so many people want to try to sell counterfeits on eBay and Amazon. YES, the profit margins are high, but so are the risks. And, while it IS possible to make a few quick bucks selling counterfeits, it is no way to build a long-term business.

If you want a long-term business that will last longer than a month, you need to find something authentic to sell.

...Welcome to the forums - all the best as you learn stealth - you sound like you will need it

It's look like you know nothing about Ebay. I know 2 Top rated sellers,who are selling only counterfeit items. They've got at least 100+ counterfeit items on auction. You are telling to people scary stories.

You need communicate with every buyer and your business will be alright. I don't want to tell you what exactly u need to do.

I've been on eBay since it was called WebAuction. So, I DO know something about eBay.

And it DOES sometimes take longer for them to catch on to some counterfeit sellers than others. But they eventually DO catch on.

One seller here in the US had over 10,000 positive feedbacks and was selling mostly Disney DVD's. Then they got busted, not by eBay, but by ICE. I don't know if the seller went to trial yet, but the likely end result will be JAIL.

Everyone thinks they are special, everyone thinks they are slick... until they end up in handcuffs. Don't believe me? Just search google news. There are lots of these stories.

Reminds me of myself, when I started on eBay two years ago. I started selling counterfeit handbags on eBay and I was gaining lots of money, I thought I found what to do BIG mistake was - I knew nothing about stealth, and used my own eB and PP. So, when You're selling counterfeit items there's very high risk. I won't tell You the whole story, but I will tell You how it ended for me. I got my both (premier and business) PP accounts closed forever, my eBay became "buy only" account, and about $10000 of debt.
Sounds good, huh?

Totally agree with jeffweico everyone think they are special, so did I.

After this I left PP/eB for one year, and got a job, but i was bored there, so now I'm back, and I am not gonna deal with counterfeit items.

Are they advertising the items as authentic? If so, they're making some serious mistakes. As the previous thread mentions it only takes one buyer to do some research and look closer at the product, then they report to eBay.

Kiss your Top Rated Seller AND your account goodbye!

Yeah, and you are telling to us that you know jack-squat.

Tell to us what you will do when your buyer is an undercover agent for the IP rights holder of a company?

Better still, tell to us when FACT hammers on your door at 05:00am on a gray mank Birmingham morning and raids an address.

You are amongst users who have been involved on ebay probably more years than you have been alive.
