Looks to me like a genuine misunderstanding.

It's a hospice shop with almost 120k feedback.

Maybe, maybe not, why is the price so high? Maybe they don't know about watches but they didn't bother to take it to a jeweler (who would have told them it's a fake immediately) and instead is trying to pawn it off for 10x the amount it's worth to people who don't know any better, it's still at the bare minimum very malicious

Looks like a donation based seller from looking at the rest of their items for sale. Probably just received and listed without any real thought or look.

In my opinion it's this.

They're a bonifide hospice, but still doesn't excuse the fact if a fake watch is being sold as genuine.

Thank you for your help. Ebay replied to me that they could not find any violation of their guidelines!

I am appalled! o_O

I wrote to the seller again last night. No response and the item is still online. So he accepts that a customer buys a fake watch? That's really unbelievable!
Cheers Geybi

The staff responsible for operating the ebay shop will be volunteers. There is no individual seller.

Also, good luck getting a response on Boxing day. It's a UK public holiday.

I'm sure the appropriate action will be taken in due course.

Looks as if the various approaches finally got through as it was ended by the seller with the reason ‘Error in the listing’.

Forgive the douchey “experienced with watches”…I know I’m not compared to a lot of folks with reps. But i figured I am more so than the hospice volunteer!

Surprise surprise a hospice that cares for patients at their end of life isn't out to intentionally scam on ebay.

Well yeah. I don’t think anyone really thought this was malicious did they? I actually feel bad that they may lose out on the extra ££. But it’s better then having some poor bastard unknowingly pay over the odds then get caught.
