Watch When Shopping on eBay

I'll be the first to admit that I love eBay!  I have gotten tons of fantastic items off of that site over the years and I've also sold a lot on there too!  They are excellent for many things but you still need to beware of sellers on eBay that aren't truthful.
 
For example, I keep seeing the same tan and black sweater (above) on eBay that sellers are claiming Victoria has worn.  I looked into it a bit and being a Beckham blogger, I notice pictures and can usually tell when they're photoshopped to look like something else.  The above image of the black and tan sweater on Victoria does NOT exist!  This image is from February 8, 2010 when Victoria was shopping in Milan.  She did NOT have this item on... infact she was wearing a Chanel coat and top combo.  To my knowledge, she doesn't even own the top in the eBay picture.

Here is the real photo.... much different!
So the moral of the story is, if you are going to purchase an item or items on eBay, make sure you are getting what you pay for... a real item! I know items are sold that are designer inspired on there but this is a blatant fabrication.

  1. I've been seeing this for two years and I knew it was fake. It wasn't until I was surfing Instagram that I noticed people feel for it. But I gotta say to the untrained eye, that looks very real.

    1. Ade- It definitely does look extremely real! Whoever put the photo together is talented with photoshop or some sort of photo edit software!
