I see many posts where members frown on an Ebay seller for not allowing returns. I was given the reason from a sellers side last year. What if a buyer buys a watch on Ebay with the sole purpose of sending a fake back and trying to collect the refund? Has anyone heard of this type of transaction happening? I guess it opened my eyes last year when I purchased my 16610LV from a great seller on Ebay that explained this as his reasoning for no returns. He had low feedback, not much of a record of selling watches but he did have a legitimate LV Sub for sale. I did my homework and asked all the right questions and requested specific pictures and ended up with a great deal. I am anxious to hear others opinions.

Happens quite often - here is how to protect yourself:

Questionable buyer - use bank wire. Or paypal, but never a credit card directly. Paypal will actually fight a chargeback on your behalf. But MOST IMPORTANTLY - Take GREAT pictures to use as evidence in case someone returns a fake.
