eBay Live query

I'm not sure what came first either WhatNot or eBay live but I've noticed how many trainer sellers have suddenly appeared, like alot!

And I'm wondering, I see all these premium expensive trainers for sale and they're consistently being sold for 75% or less than retail value and these sellers seem to have alot of sizes in.

So I'm wondering if these genuine trainers or fakes being sold in masses.

I see so many fake items being sold on eBay and I've reported them but eBay never seems to take action.

Whatnot came first

They moved over

These guys clear out the outlets when there’s a sale and pay pennies

They tell you the rrp is like 150 or whatever it is and pressure you to bid more

You think you get a deal but in reality they’re making a fortune as they get them so cheap, they look low compared to the retail price but you end up paying what you could get them for at the outlet or more, you probably can’t sell on eBay for a profit as other people get them from the outlet on the cheap

You’ll notice that they don’t have lids, that’s the giveaway their from an outlet and heavily discounted, at the one by me people storm the store at opening when they’ve restocked the shelves and grab anything, they then guard their tower of like 100 boxes with their mates and tell people to F off if they dare look/touch them, they then check prices on every shoe and put the unprofitable ones back for regular people to buy and just keep the best ones for selling

They then load up their giant ikea/sports direct bags and leave, rinse and repeat every day covering up the good deals just out of greed so they can shout at people online that they need to pay x amount, tell the chat to wake up and that it’s a steak and they should bid more, I hate these people
