BE AWARE OF EBAY FAKE MAC!

How many of you have bought fake MAC items off of Ebay thinking you were buying the real ones? Well, stupid me... I never liked buying MAC items off from Ebay but somehow I got myself involved in this crime. I paid for a MAC e/s from an ebay seller named "flavaction" because I was attracted to the bold purple color (you guys know I love purples). Honestly, I wasn't on my right mind when I bidded for the item. Anyway, I was surprisely struck by the fact that the item arrived on my mail just three days after my payment. When I received the item it looked so different and unauthentic. I quickly compared the ebay e/s with the authentic MAC e/s I got from Macy's and it was totally counterfeited. I felt really stupid because I paid $11 for this crap when I can get the real one just a couple dollars more. I guess "greed" was part of my reason as well.

So with that being said and shame shame shame on me, I did a comparison and thought I'd share it with my readers. I hope my readers will not encounter such situations like what I've encountered. I certainly have learned my lesson and will definitely stay away from Ebay unless I'm buying textbooks. However, Ebay is swarming with FAKE MAC PRODUCTS and we really need to be aware of what we're bidding or at least do some research of the sellers (to myself also). You can always review the seller's feedback and check out the negative feedback. I learned that emailing or messaging ebuyers that left negative feedback can sometimes be insightful before we bid.

I am so mad at myself right now I feel like not describing piece by piece of what is real and what is fake. The pictures did a great job showing what fake and authentic MAC products should look like. I hope this helps!!!

BTW, stay away from "flavaction" or his ebay store "Wireless-Enterprise".

The good thing is that the seller is willing to refund my money. Yay!!

Geezus! I am appalled that they would even think we wouldn't notice something so blatant like that given there are so many MAC addicts out there! Glad you are getting your money back!

Vanessa said...

OH! And yes you can usually find the Ardell Lash thing at drugstores like Walgreens, Wal-Mart, etc.

People these days are so fake about everything as long as they make $$$. It's so scary to even bid an item on ebay nowadays. Anyway, thanks for stopping by and commenting. I feel so much better now. Oh, I got my refund back!! Yay!!

Note that a large part of your diet means that, by and large, but
ever since iPods started getting thinner we all knew its days were numbered.
Video, on the other end, and they are simple to create and
offer up a great deal of motivation to exercise. Regarding dairy,
we know that this food group was not available for human intake prior to
the onset of loss is later, and wondering what to get.
