Fake Japanese/Korean Cosmetics from Ebay

Those_RainyDays said: I've bought a lot of cosmetics on eBay.
I got a Shills and a Baviphat BBcream and realised only months later they were fake. Fortunately, I haven't used them that much >< 
In both cases the seller was from China. Since then, I don't buy cosmetics from China anymore.

This is probably one of the biggest reason why I hesitate buying anything at all from ebay. I don't want to have to wonder.. and doubt. I need to trust the seller, doesn't matter if they have good reviews or not.. people make fake accounts all the time.
But to answer your question, it's pretty easy to catch a fake product. I've gotten the bad luck of buying fake macs and dior. Oh my! I knew it right away.
1. the price.
2. the product is very drying... not pigmented enough.. the product runs out within a day or two (for the mascara at least).
3. the product and packaging feels and looks cheap.
