Fake Dermacol Sold on eBay

I discovered this product, dense tattoo coverage, Dermacol, and ordered it from a Chinese vendor. I later did research, and found out that many fakes were being sold on eBay. The description and pictures of the product I purchased looked exactly like the authentic item: same name, box, tube and numbers for shades( 07, 08 etc.,) But when I scrolled down further, I noticed that the manufacturer and country of manufacture (China) were not authentic. Can I report this seller? It can be very dangerous to apply cheap copycat makeup to your skin. It could contain lead and other nasty ingredients.  eBay should disallow these items to be sold via their platform.

You can leave negative feedback (up to 60 days after purchase) for a Seller you bought from. If not too much time has gone by you can open a not-as-described (counterfeit) with eBay (up to 30 days after delivery date estimate) OR if you paid with PayPal (up to 180 days after time of purchase).

 

You can report individual items. Each listing page should have a "Report item" link to report fake product or other issues.  But that only works if a bunch of people report, since one person reporting might be an unhappy buyer or a competitor.

 

If the item is claiming to be product from a specific manufacturer, you can report the Seller to the manufacturer. Manufacturers have more clout with ebay than individual buyers.
