Listing a Non Authentic Item (Example Burberry)

Can you list an item like a "knock off" Burberry purse if you do not claim it to be Authentic? Can you list it as "Burberry Like" ? I see lots of different listings, some stating Authentic, others not using the term.

No. You can’t sell knock offs and you can’t keyword spam.

It either IS, or it ISN'T.

 

If you don't know the authenticity, don't list it.

The easier you are to offend the easier you are to control.

It's not permitted to sell counterfeit items. A seller can't be silent on the question of authenticity or disclaim knowledge either.

You can only sell fake items with ebays blessing if your a seller from China but if your from the USA they will give you defects or shut your account down

Re: Listing a Non Authentic Item (Example Burberry)

If it says Burberry (or Berberry or Burbery or Bruberry, etc) and it's not a Burberry, then it is illegal to sell as it's counterfeit.

 

A knock-off is actually a different thing.  

 

And No - you cannot say "Burberry like" for a knock-off.  That's search manipulation/keyword spamming.

No.

 

 

Not saying 'NO' doesn't mean 'YES'.

Re: Listing a Non Authentic Item (Example Burberry)

A prestige brand like Burberry is a very good bet to be a member of eBay's VeRO program, which allows trademark holders to police eBay listings for violations of their IP rights.

 

You might as well bend over and ask Burberry to spank you.

No you can't. It violates eBay policy - and the law - on several levels.
