has anyone here ever bought from an ebay member that

[psychodad]

is from hong kong? and it says it's a store also. there's alot of that say they're from hong kong and they have 100% positive feedback, but i still don't feel comfortable to probably buy from them. does anyone else ever feel like this?

[mechamappy]

I usually don't mind if they have 100% positive feedback and that number is over 100. The shipping charges usually stop me from ordering.

[magman3]

I normally don't have a problem with this as long as its not a high dollar item.

[GhettoEnhanced]

As long as it's not for a Sideshow item. Fakes are rampant...

[frinspar]

Sure. I've bought and sent to HK.

Just use the tools Ebay provides to get yourself as much info on their history - obviously not much, and trust your gut.

[Ed Gein]

Depends what it is and on the feedback.

What do you mean, are there knockoff RAH figures and stuff?

[Trunks3540]

I've bought from HK. It's not bad. Got my stuff in about a week too, so they ship it fast. At least they did for me. And it was a store. I've actually bought like 3 or 4 things... But they were all clothing related.

What exactly are you buying? There are many fake flash drives and memory sticks that come from Hong Kong eBay sellers. Watch out for fake video games too.

If they had good feedback you can usually trust em. Shipping takes a little longer tho. Maybe around a week.

What type of clothing?

ITEMS FROM HONG KONG



Items that come from Hong Kong, 99.999999% of the time are fake. No doubt about it. Stay away from those. WATCH OUT for sellers that claim to get there items from SUPPLIERS(this means knock-off suppliers in china) and from a FACTORY OUTLET that makes the authentics for a cheaper price(this is a funny one to me). UNRELEASED means FAKE! If they don't have at least somewhere in the listing authentic then it is definitely fake. WATCH OUT for sellers that claim to be authorized sellers! Think about it. How are they authorized sellers on Ebay?! Wouldn't they have a website where the retailers would authenticate this! That is the BIGGEST SCAM ever because they trick YOU, the buyer very easily. They are simply cheating you out of your money and stuffing their pockets. They don't care if you were lied to and spent your hard earned money on something you didn't want, THEY ARE MONEY HUNGRY THIEVES!!

YOUR FAVORITE SELLER HAS 100% FEEDBACK AND IS A POWERSELLER


Just because a seller has 100% feedback and is a power seller does not mean they have authentic items. Usually the buyer sees the new tags, authenticity card, and gets excited for the new product they see as authentic. Then, when it someone tells them it is a knock-off or it starts to fall apart they can't change their positive feedback they left. JUST MAKE SURE YOU ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS!

I just wouldn't buy electronics from there.
Bought a cell phone battery and charger for dirt cheap.
Crapped out real quick.

The Necklaces from FFVIII, Squall's and Rinoa's with the 2 rings. I know those are ok, cept the second ring is plastic or a cheap ass metal, but they're still nice, and they were cheap, so I'm not bothered. And they were the same ones everyone else on Ebay had. And my GF bought a shirt. But it was not supposed to be a designer shirt or w/e. It looks like something you'd buy in Hot Topic. It wasn't a bad shirt, and it seems pretty good looking. It wasn't that expensive either. I don't think these were things I need to worry about cause they didn't cost an arm and a leg. I try to buy stuff from America when shopping for toys.

[Saurian]

I was actually going to ask the same question, becasue there's this Kingdom Hearts Figure i want, but all of the ones that are the type i want are from Hong Kong, so no Sideshow right?

[d8NopeD8b]

Hong Kong is land of the bootlegs and home of the shiny green suit. Go with your gut.

[Manga_Spawn]

Enh. I would be careful with sellers that use "stock" images not pictures of the actual item you are buying. I have ordered a few things (never figures, anime dvd's) and have never had any problems. I have bought several of the anime boxsets that I guess are bootlegs but they always work and are decent to great quality. Just be careful and yeah pay with paypal and if there is a problem file a claim.

[SpawnFan1]

I buy wherever it's the cheapest, HK or China included. Never had any problem with those countries.

[SteelSpartan]

I bought counterfeits/non-authentic goodies from Hong Kong with 100% feedback. You'd think after one bad sale I would stop. I recommend you stay away no matter what kind of goods you're buying.

PayPal will NOT have your back when it comes to counterfeits. I just went through a long claim process. They actually want you to ship the bad goods back to the seller and then possibly refund you what you paid.

[smokingun]

my item just got shipped...this guy has one feedback......i was trippin out...I'll let you kno how it went.

[psychodad]

thanks for your help guys. it's alot of the saint seiya stuff i look at that say hong kong. thats why i was asking:)

[dropshipbob]

A bootleg Sideshow item? I'd love to see that.

[TheWho]

I've bought figs (Koto, SOC) from HK sellers a couple of times. Never had a problem, never received fake figs.

[chrstnslts]

I order once from a guy in Hong Kong. Was scared at first but got my package just like he said with no problem. I ordered the HT Leon Kennedy.

[Holeman]

I do. All the time.

[aspawnfan]

I've bought from Hong Kong a bunch of times and have had no problem. I never bought toys from there. For me it's always been Spawn swag. Phone cards and swag from Japan.
