Fakes everywhere
This is a small sample of what's on eBay right now. Ebay needs to step up and remove this crap. https://www.ebay.com/itm/124981169045?h ... 4&LH_BIN=1

Re: Fakes everywhere
I've never used eBay. Just curious though with all of the billions of items on eBay how eBay is supposed to know they're fake? Can and eBay customer report fake Spyderco's?

Re: Fakes everywhere
A customer can report them, but it is not likely to receive action. As you noted, with the billions of items they deal with, they are unlikely to be experts on any given one. But human nature is pretty consistant, so an individual reporting another is likely to be dismissed as a feud between rival sellers. Now when Spyderco reports that a given listing claiming to be one of their products is a fake, eBay is more likely to take action.

Re: Fakes everywhere
I’ve reported scores for them for what it’s worth. Posting them here does no good if you have not also gone through the report function at Ebay. Enough complaints and a human will take a look at the item.

Re: Fakes everywhere
Thank you! Hopefully others are reporting as well. It can get tedious, but more hands make lighter work.
