The reason these were so striking was that they look old but I legit haven’t seen them before. I feel like I’ve seen pretty much all the common vintage fakes but this is a new vein of trash

Is it me, or have you also recognized a change in how eBay processes counterfeit reports compared to a few months ago? The last few times I reported fake watches, my request was denied after a few hours. My guess is they moved from an automated removal of a reported item to a review by an eBay employee. I think this time it worked because multiple people reported it at the same time.

Yes, I agree as I’ve had the same experience.

+1 - got an email saying a representative looked into the listing and didn't find anything wrong while it was obviously fake

Same for me as well. It’s really unfortunate.

This happened to me several times. These ebay employees are not worth reporting.
I reported an obvious Patek fake with a movement layout Petek never produced and my report was denied. too bad about the time I spent...
