I dont know, I'm only asking, but are not most of those real??
And if so, isn't it possible that he just doesn't know the Firestone is fake?

I can't help but think that some guys have jumped into this just to make a buck. Thier just constantly flipping and dont even really know a whole lot about them.

A LOT of buyers have been burnt on items from India & Argentina. Some are looking to recover their $$$ [not realizing they have 45 days to file a complaint w/ PayPal for a FULL REFUND w/ Postage] after a friend has informed them they bought a FAKE, others are looking to make a few $$$ w/ a quick flip [& not knowing that a complaint w/ PayPal can strip all profits w/i 45 days].

Sellers posting NO REFUNDS/RETURNS ACCEPTED, doesn't mean squat.

Actually in many instances Paypal will offer a full refund up to 60 days. I recently filed a non receipt that had been over 45 days. Their automated system would not take the complaint, but when I called Paypal they credited my account immediately and pulled the money right out of the guy's bank account. I think the fact that I have over 1950 positive feedback at 100% and the fact that quite a few quarters I earn the full $500 eBay bucks probably helped. I run semis and I buy everything from tires to transmissions on eBay. The Paypal representative I talked to told me that they write off quite a bit. All they can get is what is in the bank account of record. Most of the fraudulent guys are operating on a shoestring and have very little money in the bank.
My cousin's daughter sells reproduction signs at car shows and represents them as reproductions. They look so real that I think it would be difficult to tell real ones from fakes on eBay. She even has some with a "distressed" look to make them look real.
