Another Fake Sebenza on fleabay...

Wait for the buyer to leave feedback. When this happens, they should be identifiable - then send them an email linking this thread and explain that they may have bought a fake.

It will be then up to the buyer to take whatever action they deem appropiate.

If the seller knew or had concerns that the knife was fake, the auction was deceptive at best and fraudulant at worst.

Hopefullly the buyer paid via Paypal. If not, I do know that the USPS frowns at mail fraud - which is a federal crime.

Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail_and_wire_fraud

Lastly, one could hang out on eBay and purchase a cheap item from the seller - then name and shame them once they had their personal details.

Other than that: Caveat Emptor (Let the Buyer Beware).
 
Isn't buyer's ebay ID is blocked out to anyone, besides the seller. Or, does it show up on his feedback page?

(I just looked it does show up on the seller's feedback page)

But, once a buyer leaves positive, then it's over as far as doing anything about not being sastisfied.

Not necessarily. Positive/negative feedback has nothing to do with filing a complaint to eBay or Paypal, it's merely a form as to how one would rate the transaction overall.

Take for example the buyer wrote a postive feedback, saying the item was well packaged with very fast postage. This is nothing to do with whether or not the item is genuine or the item description was deceptive or fraudulant.

The buyer has 45 days to dispute the transaction on specific grounds. After that, they are SOL.

I think it's important the buyer is made aware of the potential issues his/her purchase may have, so they can investigate and take appropiate action that's right for them.

Buyer ID is currently blocked but once either seller or buyer leaves a feedback than buyer ID will be disclosed and will be able to contact buyer of the issue.

Still no feedback left on this ebay transaction yet.
 
Classic troll.

No one cares if you're fire, EMS, or even a Navy Seal. No one cares if you give every penny you earn to charity. No one cares if you have a learning disorder.

Bottom line: don't sell fakes.
 
What I would like to know,regardless of all that has been said in this post,is who in their right mind would even bid on this item,with that photo and eloquent description?The crappiest camera phone from years ago would be able to take a better rendition. Not only bid,but bid almost 200 bucks to win the damn thing?? Serves the dumb ass right. Shame on the seller but what an idiot buyer he snagged.
 
If I remember correctly, under his godly amount he was charging for shipping it said something like 10-15 business days. Which seems awful high from IL to anywhere in the US...

Creep for sure.
 
Yet another FAKE on feebay. This one clearly states its a Fake.

In big bold lettering at the top of his listing is:
"Note: This is NOT a genuine Chris Reeve Large Sebenza 21. This is an imitation/clone that is made from top-notch high quality materials that is based on the Large Sebenza 21's design"

About time someone is doing it right and not being deceptive and acting like they don't know...!
 
i just bought a fake online.

should receive it shortly.

i figure its good for the glove box
 
This is exactly why I'm concerned about buying off fleabay. Best of luck to the buyer. Hopefully he gets some restitution.

Rather get a Victorinox rescue tool and leave that in the glove box. At least its not fake and designed for as an emergency knife.
 
you guys are too much. Glad to see "brother of the blade" defending the weak. Like the Justice League:)
