MAC Marilyn Monroe Collection Now Has Counterfiets, Hits Ebay Past 2 Weeks

[pumpkinspice]

[h=2]A recent search for Scarlet Ibis led me to eBay and I was shocked to find new counterfeits of the fall 2012 Marilyn Monroe collection, I was sick because there are sellers advertising 7 and 10 lipsticks claiming all authentic, we all know there were only 5. They have the mascara with her painted on the box and the tube. Just blatant fakes, what is worse? There are members bidding with extremely high feedback scores. Here is what they look like;[/h] [h=2]This guy has 7 extremely fake looking boxes but they are still bidding, if you look at the pictures he has up some of the lipsticks are actually broken![/h]

A close-up of the pic in the second link, the names on the boxes are different lipsticks. I wonder if anyone's even looked at those.

 

[CharlieKelly]

No only that, the colors don't even match! WTF soft pink lipstick?? Ewww

 

[potophan]

I know these look used !!

 

[pumpkinspice]

I know!! it seems there is no one checking names or colors? .. I just am floored how much they went for

and just checking back with the link above she is selling another Marilyn Monroe calling it an amplified heartless satin,

I have fun asking these sellers questions about the item putting them on the spot

and I hope this information helps someone who is new to the MAC rip-off feast at ebay.

I asked this seller http://www.ebay.com/itm/Marilyn-Monroe-Lipstick-/151019386937?pt=US_Makeup_Lips&hash=item232974f839 could she "please tell me the name of the color"

she said this:

"I actually own an online business, so to keep track of them I put numbers instead, sorry!"

Hi, all you beautiful people!
I'm new to the Forum and wanted to ask:
What can be done about this situation?
Filing a report with ebay?
What are the options?

ETA
Talk about ignorance showing!

I see this forum has put together a guide to fake sellers, how to spot fake MAC colours and much more.
Great work!
Please forgive this noob.

I tried reporting them ,

eBay does not care...

so imho nothing can done except to learn a hard (expensive) lesson. the sale prices ($70.00 + ) for the links show no one cares.

 

[NelleMN]

Thanks for the heads up.

 

[niketyi]

SMH!

[h=2]Update for the seller I posted about http://myworld.ebay.com/michelle*luv2shop?_trksid=p2047675.l2559 I just read her feedback she now has 3 negatives and I bet more will be coming, but she is still selling the fake Marilyn she does not care, I bet when they are sold she will abandon that profile.

This is so wrong, I can't believe Ebay will not do anything about it. Sadly people will not know about this if they do not do some research

 

[pumpkinspice]

I stopped trying to report it, I think they dont care its money for them. Anyone reports it and it goes against you. eBay caters to China because they sell so much. I read they gave them (China) a huge break on global shipping something like just a few penny's to ship anything, most of the sellers from there ship for 20 cents, sad but true and encourages counterfeit sales..
