How can you tell? I'm new to all of this and was just curious. Thanks!

Look at the sub dial spacing on a genuine planet ocean chrono shown in this ebay auction,

and compare it to the fake shown in the first ebay auction.

reported. By his feedback I'd say he's been scammed.

people create a whole network of fake accounts to give fake feedback, not the first time this has happened

I reported and I sent the seller a message warning her it was fake. She replied saying she'd be taking it down. That was about an hour ago. It's still there, so who knows?

Those watches look terrible fake or no fake. How in the world is there 22 bids on it?

 

[oldtools]

Well, the auction ended without her or ebay pulling it before the end. The lucky bidder won 2 replica watches for $5100.

Provided the buyer uses Paypal, eBay will side with the buyer if he finds out that the watches are reps and he'll get a Paypal refund and the seller's Paypal account would be charged back. Also, the seller listed a 14 day return policy. So, even if the watches were genuine, the buyer could still return them. If the seller tried to renege on the return policy, eBay would still side with the buyer and issue a Paypal refund and a charge-back to the seller's account. The seller would also risk having their eBay account suspended.

Really, only two ways this turns out bad for the buyer. One, if the buyer doesn't take the watches to an AD to get them authenticated right away. If he doesn't know they are fake, he won't initiate a case with eBay. Two, the buyer doesn't use Paypal. Ebay owns Paypal. If the buyer pays with another method, eBay can't refund the money, even if they side with the buyer. All they could do is suspend the seller's eBay account.

The listing was reported. The seller was warned directly. We did what we could. It's the buyer's problem now. Hopefully that person is smart enough to have them authenticated once received.
