Hi guys.
I purchased Van's van gogh edition here on ebay and it went through the "authenticity guarantee" program.
Once it arrived I emidiatly noticed it was a counterfeit and not even an high quality one .
When asking for a refund I emidiatly received a message that authenticity guarantee products aren't eligible for "money back guarantee". I added photos of the product received and even showed how it doesn't match the photo on the purchase page, and also dosen't match the description since it arrived with no box.
So I filed an appeal and once again ebay dicided I received the right product and the case is closed and done. they never asked for more information or anything. I have the original shoe as well the entire collection in fact, the counterfeit I received is nothing like that! shape,weight, color, print, tags .. everything is clearly wrong
I feel absolutely disgusted by ebay's customer service by the way they take advantage of consumers they are aiming to attract by this authenticity program.
Spent way too much time on this case and lost what is for me a serious amount of money.
And I would like to ask what are my options if anyone have any ideas
Greatly appreciated.

eBay blocks buyer-seller communications after sneakers but perhaps not watches are sold with the authenticity guarantee. When attempted, this error message appears:
"Messaging is turned off for sneakers covered by Authenticity Guarantee"

My sincere thanks for pointing out that in such circumstances messaging between buyer and seller is turned off.
Lesson for me is that once Authentication programme is involved then for sure do not even attempt to open " Does not seem authentic" case.
I would hope that buyers would be allowed to open a remorse return and if listing is no returns accepted then buyer purchased with full knowledge that item can not be returned for any reason.
