Counterfeit, Bootleg, Fake items and stupid questions by buyers on Ebay

Over the last few months I am getting more buyers that are asking some of the most stupid questions or request regarding items being legitimate or counterfeit.  I sell on ebay and have a 100% rating .  Here are some of the questions

1. Is this item for real.  Can you prove that the item you are selling is official?

 

2. Customer just purchased item already:

Can I see pictures of the BEARBRICK?

I replied if you would like me to open package and send pictures of product. 

Buyers reply:

I don’t want you to take out of the box. I just wanted a picture just to confirm that the BEARBRICK exist, if is not a problem.

 

3.  Factory new item:  Couple  sales on this item already

Buyer:

Price for real?

Is it legit?

I have picture of actual item being sold and not only stock photos.  Buyer is suggesting why I am selling the item so low and is it a knock-off?  But just the attitude and the inability to write a complete sentence and uttering words out like a Neanderthal seems to be the common place everyday on ebay.

 

I am getting bombarded by stupid emails like this every day. Yet I have 100% rating and all good reviews; to date I have sold over 13K items on ebay.  Hoping to do plenty more sales. I know I am just ranting but I hope some of  you "buyers" read this.  This is Ebay,  I know there are a lot of Bad sellers.  There are a lot of red flags to bad seller.  

Some edumacated advice here:

1.  Negative reviews; Read them if you see a couple of reviews stating counterfeit!!!

2. Seller has low or no reviews and is selling extremely low.  Too good to be true pricing. Could be a red flag

3. Buyer does not have any good pictures.

4. Buying **bleep** unlicensed products from China/Pacific Rim at ridiculously low prices delivered and stating box not included. (then buyer claims counterfeit!!!)

Buyers... Understand what you are purchasing.   If you are buying products from China 80%+ of all  normal licensed product is counterfeit. Most of these listings even say it is China version or not official.   Yet Ebay allows this **bleep** to go on (this is another story for another time). Shame on some of you buyers.  If the price is that low your instincts tell you it is counterfeit but you still buy it.  Most buyers to buy this **bleep** knows its fake and buy it.  The rest of you have no excuse.  Being stupid is no excuse.  Then some of you buyers comment that I will buy on Amazon instead.  You know that Amazon sells a **bleep** load of counterfeits also????  I have purchase Amazon Prime items that are counterfeits or illegal grey market goods.  I do random purchases just to verify why items are discounted from Amazon on in house distributed products.  Buyer stop being so stupid and communicate in a professional manner.  Don't just grunt out a few words and or insinuate that I sell counterfeits.  And for  you seller who sell counterfeits and stolen items which is rampant on Ebay.... **bleep** off and karma will pay you back ten fold.

Re: Counterfeit, Bootleg, Fake items and stupid questions by buyers on Ebay

Hello, while I understand what you are saying and your opinion; comments like yours are generalizing and condescending .  I do care about my sellers; my listing mostly do include real pictures of actual items as you failed to review and only choose to make unsubstantiated comments on this forum.  Truly think about what you say when you use words like "complain less" and integrity.
