warlord Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Do not buy from this ebay seller: smaller1314 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152378177897?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=451640787668&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I bought these and when they arrived they looked ok, not great quality and the index fingers where uncomfortable at the tips where there was a seam on the inside. When put alongside genuine M-Pact gloves they clearly were not the same quality. The thumb and forefinger on the genuine ones have ridges on the tips. The fakes do not. I left negative feedback to the effect "Garbage quality, fake product". The seller then contacted me to withdraw my feedback for a bit of a refund. So I'm afraid being a bit mercenary I thought I'd get some cash back (£5) which they sent first and then I did change my feedback. So watch out for these.

Head Moderator Jedi_Master Posted May 25, 2017 Head Moderator Share Posted May 25, 2017 So now other unsuspecting buyers on eBay will purchase fake and poor quality gloves, and make the seller richer. Well done. Integrity... [This is not posted as a moderator] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert James Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 i dont understand why you would change your feedback.... just for £5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin proffrink Posted May 25, 2017 Root Admin Share Posted May 25, 2017 Not to mention that eBay will more than happily force a full refund (sometimes in exchange for a picture of the destroyed item). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warlord Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Having been the reclaim route before and got nowhere something is better than nothing. And if as you say everyone else can get their money back so easily, no harm, no foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin proffrink Posted May 25, 2017 Root Admin Share Posted May 25, 2017 For the reasons others have specified: It's not going to help prospective buyers. Maybe ask that they be more explicit in their listing or you inform eBay that it's counterfeit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warlord Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 I actually went a bit further than that. I tried to contact Mechanix, whose response to both online chat and email have been precisely NOTHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin proffrink Posted May 25, 2017 Root Admin Share Posted May 25, 2017 eBay does tend to crack down on counterfeit stuff quite well, so if you've not I'd certainly contact them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warlord Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Already did after I realised... but the item isn't protected. The owner of the copyright is likely to stand more of a chance and still nothing from either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
