Default Ebay, what percentage of clothing is fake ?

I won`t be risking buying anymore clothing from ebay, the last 3 items ive bought are deffinate fakes. Poor stitching where it starts to come away after one wash, its just the general finish where you can tell they are clearly fakes as nothing would leave a genuine factory in such a poor state.

What would you say is the pecentage of fake clothing is on ebay ? I would say around 80% minimum based on experience.

To be honest i`m not sure i want to risk buying anything on ebay as you hear of fake memory, fake car parts and fake 2nd hand underpants where the seller claimed they have been farted in but one smell tells you different etc etc

Lol. I agree it's not all just an illusion!

Seriously though, the amount of counterfeit clothing out there is no doubt very high.
BUT (and I am not saying this about your circumstances) some people get a bit confused.

I have recently found out that some women think that all Ugg boots that are not 'BRANDED' as Ugg Australia, are all fakes.

I have had to explain many many times that the term Ugg is a reference to the STYLE of boot and that Ugg Australia is simply one brand.
All Ugg (style) boots are real Uggs.
Its a sad world, and there is probably a very large amount of people who think they have been swindled because they bought *REAL GENUINE UGGS*.

There has been no wrong doing, people simply do not know how the branding works with some items. Especially the WAG types who get fixated on labels rather than good quality items.

I imagine that this Christmas there will be many women disappointed by just that one item alone, because ebay is a good place for a cheap buy. Loving boyfriend looking for a bargain and all that.
But, when it's too good to be true, then it most likely is.

No worries buying fake goods on eBay so long as the price is right

Electronic stuff like memory cards etc. I would steer well clear of though just from a reliability point of view
