Did I sell Fakes???

asilynmarie · #1 (**permalink**) 10-25-2011, 06:41 AM

I thought I was able to tell real from fake but If I was wrong I will fully refund seller and cover shipping costs etc. she was very nice and I would like to make it right these are her concerns.

I have a pair of Costa Rica Flynt jeans in my closet & I have been searching for another pair as mine are completely worn out. The 7s I bought from your auction are not authentic.. They are way too long and the fit is off, the stitchinf on the back pockets is much broader than original jeans and the rivets in the denim on your jeans say 7 for all mankind.. the originals say " for all mankind". These jeans are quite unsuitable. Can I please have a refund.. and will you provide shipping please so I can send the item back. I did not realize these jeans were not authentic... the listing was misleading. If you don not agree I will have to open a case. Please let me know

"they are way too long and the fit is off" - it sounds like the buyer doesn't like the way they fit and is trying to force you into taking them back. Do you have better pictures of the jeans, especially a close-up of the inside tag? I am not an expert, but from the limited photos you have on the auction, I don't see anything that is screaming fake. More photos would definitely help determine authenticity!

They are real and the buyer doesn't know what they are talking about. LOL at the rivets part.

Thank you idalis for the confirmation. I will accept a return no problem, but since they are real I will not cover shipping etc... If she does return them maybe I will post on here since I learned how to add the pics finally after years!!

Buyer now said according to 7 for all mankind reps that they are faKe. She also says that u can tell by the rivets and stitching. I asked for name of rep and told buyer that if when I call and send them info they do infact say they r fake. I will refund all costs. I will not be bullied!!! I offer returns. I offer to pay for shipping if item is fake! I totally trust idalis' abilities and realize that she would be the first to tell me I sold a fake. Glad i kept pic of tag!!!

Yeah I doubt quite highly 7fam told her they are fake. Her problem perhaps is that these are the re-release of Costa Rica made for discount stores, years after the original ones that were made in about 2004. Obviously features have changed greatly over the years, and obviously the re-release and s2d pairs of styles are NOT identical. Buyer... how about you look at the security strip under magnification.

LOL @ that. Buyer doesn't have $4.65 to send them back?

Maybe, just maybe... the ones she has in her closet are the FAKES?????

just an update, Buyer said she was going to get a letter from 7fam to prove they were fake. NEver heard from her again and the time has passed for her to file any claims or leave me negative. Im so tempted to email her and ask where the letter is lol

thanks for all your help. Had any of you said they were indeed fake, she would have been immediately refunded... I would have even been willing to accept a return for the wrong fit but whatever...

What was your buyers ebay id if you don't mind? I want to see if it was perhaps the same person I was dealing with that tried to pull the same thing.

eta: Glad to hear it all worked out fine. People are so clueless.

What a lying douchebag that buyer is. I hate clueless people who try to act like they know what they're talking about. Even at a glance I could tell the jeans are real.

ETA: And I would love her eBay ID so I can block her as well.

You can't click on the bid history in your auction link above for her ID?

You can look through your email unless you delete everything.
