I just always assume people who buy this get away with some kind of PayPal Buyer Protection and get the full amount refunded (even in cases where it clearly states it is not genuine - but since those are either way prohibited to be sold there it probably works). Just my theory

I’d report it but part of me feels that whoever buys it deserves to get scammed for not reading the description properly if at all. 

I wonder what eBay’s response would be to a refund claim given the admission it’s not real? I guess a counterfeit is a counterfeit regardless of whether you declare it as such.

I have wondered about that too but seems like a massive ball-ache for little in the way of return, especially for such a patently shit rep

It's also clearly someone who has no idea of what a rep of this type would fetch on the rep market so-to-speak, but more fool them.

It’s called refunding, tbh rep market would be an easy target. 

I believe as long as you avoid things like ps5 / apple products it’s easier to do EB DNA refunding. 

Seen it on a discord server, kids seem to be going wild. 
 

refund services 
Popular stores  (minimum 200)

Costco 5k 4 items 
Target 2k
Ebay 15k 
Apple 10k 5 items
Wayfair 15k
Home Depot 5k 2 items
Walmart 5k
Staples 5k
Amazon 5k 8 items
Nordstrom 2k
Bloomingdales 2k
Neiman 5k
Instacart 1k
Victoria secret 1k
Bestbuy 500
Dicks sporting good 1k 
Macy 2k
Nike/SNKRS 1k
Adidas 5k

percentages of the haul are paid to the scammers for successful scams. 
 

And that ladies and gentlemen is why the latest generation are immoral cunts

I have just reported it to see what happens! :D

I am obviously OK with Reps being sold on the rep Market, but I'm afraid I turn into a sanctimonious bastard when I see Rep watches being sold by "Genuine" watch dealers on the open market.

Makes no difference if it comes with a disclaimer it's illegal and without the knowledge/protection of RWG/RWI immoral :soap:

Has anyone had success reporting this sort of thing?

I recently reported a joker selling a pair of JKF Subs using the “don’t know if they’re real got them off my dead grandad” style description - which had got up to several grand bid. As far as I can tell there was no action taken. It seems that if you’re happy to lie and say you don’t know if they’re real, you’ve got a good chance of making a small fortune from ignorant idiots.

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone just ramped the bid up with no intention of paying

I contacted Ebay about several of these watches, but was too late on some of them but others have been "withdrawn" by Ebay :D

I've reported too. What's scary is he's selling other watches and has 750+, 100% positive feedback!
