Once I tell them I have 150-200 authentic pigment jars to compare to they then tell me the truth were they really bought it. I really miss the way it was 3-4 years ago

It is one of the "good" fakes like mommroxx had. Just thought I should post this. Beware. |

I have had pigments from several of the sellers listed in this forum forwarded to me by several purchasers and almost of of those pigments were counterfeit. Of those, some sellers have since ditched their stock and restarted as genuine authentic sellers that we have all come to know and trust, yet others did not. I dont think its necessarily fair to bash a seller who happens to post in this forum unless you can prove intent, since at least one of the sellers that she listed is still selling counterfeits herself. In any case, the sellers listed here have been discussed at length previously. Do a search and you'll see that TheCollector is fact NOT the first person to raise concerns about them. |

I mean how do we really know "thecollector" purchased something and is not purposely writing these things to promote his/her own items and bash another along the way? All I'm saying is that it seems too obvious knocking out 2 sellers in one comment just to get a topic going. I'm here looking for good sellers to buy from, but seems like all I am reading is one seller knocking down another and so on. Sorry, don't mean to offend anyone, this is just my thought. I also read a few posts about this matter as well. Real confusing on who to beleive. Thank U |

I also filed a paypal claim, she refused a refund... and now I'm waiting to hear from paypal. |

I feel bad that I gave good feedback, not really inspecting the item to make sure. It's been a long time since I bought pigments on eBay, and I guess I have too much faith in people. |
