You’d think eBay would be doing something about these Chinese fraudsters wouldn’t you. |  |

I think essentially if some reports them for selling fraudulent goods eBay are quite quick at cutting traders off if it's quite obvious - such as this |  |

That last point would tend to indicate that eBay has a big incentive to stop this.
Is it maybe also worth informing the club? I would think they could get this shut down quicker than ordinary punters. |  | | |

You can buy virtually any football shirt on DHGate, don’t think Ipswich Town are going to get them shut down anytime soon. |  |

If the big corporate behemoths can't then we have no hope
I ordered one the other day to compare the quality of them compared to the real ones I've bought |  |

Im tempted to get one too, always wanted a fake Ipswich shirt to make me feel like we’re one of the big boys.
Some of the shirts I’ve got from there in the past you cannot tell the difference. | |

I haven’t got a massive problem if people want to buy the cheap copies, that’s up to them. But I do have a problem if people are trying to sell them at a massive mark up, if people want to get them for 12 quid and didn’t know how to, I’d be happy to show them.
Personally I’ve had a couple of copies before of older international shirts and the quality has been pretty poor. | |

You’d have thought a 10 year old would take more pride in their craftsmanship. |  | | |

Nobody has suggested getting DHGate or eBay shut down. DHGate is a marketplace, as eBay is. There would be no need to shut down DHGate in order to prevent individual sellers from selling counterfeit or stolen goods.
Secondly, I quite appreciate that engaging with DHGate may well be too difficult and too futile to bother with.
But eBay is a different matter. They're not bad at getting things like this taken down, which is borne out by the fact that the offending items have been removed just a couple of hours after this post was put up. As a general rule I would shop on eBay (not for something like this), but would not use DHGate. I suspect there are potential customers who may have been tempted to buy this from eBay who would not have used DHGate.
So getting the ad taken down was sensible, and seemingly easy. If the supporters' defence of high kit prices is that it helps swell the club's coffers, all well and good. It is that swelling which is threatened by counterfeit or otherwise unlawful third party sales. | | | |

Those links are dead for me now
Edit: not that i was about to bid! More out of curiosity. Saw some Liverpool kits at a car boot recently and i could’ve been fooled without giving them a thorough inspection [Post edited 7 Jul 2023 13:53]

Have bought cheap NFL shirts from abroad which is ok when it's a one off game your at and your not really a fan of either team. Cost about a third of the real thing. Quality is no where near as good. Especially the stitching.
The NFL game shirts are very expensive but the quality is great and a shirt could last you a life time. [Post edited 7 Jul 2023 15:32]

There is always a difference in quality, the point in my post was to stop fans getting ripped off. As I said if people want to get the cheaper product that’s up to them, but pay £12 quid for it, not £45 of someone trying to make a quick buck. | |

With reference to “being made in China “ I think that’s slowly becoming a thing of the past anyway
Chinese wages have risen significantly recently making manufacturing product there more expensive than ever
A lot of manufacturing is moving to Africa cause it’s cheaper
A lot of counterfeit stuff is made in Turkey and North Africa I believe
Either way , you are so right. Making a massive killing on a counterfeit product isn’t good without even taking the back story into account. Quality is one issue but more importantly so are working conditions | |

Not received yet, although wore home one for first time today and it’s a very different feel from the away one so there isn’t seemingly an Umbro standard to hit | |
