E-Bay

That's wonderful!! Congrats on such a great experience!!

I bought a veil from eBay for $20!! and that included s&h! it was perfect for my hair trial... and b/c I ordered that one, I now know exactly what kind I want for the big day

I actually just had a bad experience with a seller from e-bay.

I just purchased Tiffany money clips for my groomsmen. I brought one to the Tiffany store and verified that they were fake!
I was very disappointed because the seller described his items as being authentic. Liar!

I returned everything and the seller only refunded the cost not the shipping. He said he would look into refunding the shipping but I doubt I will get anything back.

I gave him neutral feedback because he insisted he didn't know they were fake.
Turns out, he gave me negative feedback!

Stay away from this seller, he's evil and a con artist. < jasonfayaxa >

I am so sorry that this happened to you. Please know that Tiffany items are only sold at Tiffany & Co. stores. Tiffany recently won a huge lawsuit against eBay because of counterfeit merchandise. No merchandise on there is guaranteed to be real and authentication is difficult and usually painful for the buyer. Again, sorry...it's better to spend the extra cash and buy it from the source directly (this case Tiffany).

Actually, its wierd...I got an email today saying my E-bay account has been suspended and that I have to update some information. I have paid for and received all of the items that I have bid on, so I don't know what the deal is. Anyone else have this happen to them?

make sure it IS ebay that sent the email. there are a lot of email scams going around from frauds trying to get your bank account info!

And here's inf on Tiffany & Co.'s recent win against an eBay counterfeiter:

TIFFANY & CO. OBTAINS $600,000 JUDGMENT AGAINST COUNTERFEITER

New York, November 4, 2004 - Tiffany & Co (NYSE- TIF) announced today the entry of a Final Judgment by Consent against Katz Imports, Inc., and its principals, Todd Katz, Howard Katz and Stanley Katz (jointly 'Katz'). The Judgment makes permanent the preliminary injunction previously entered against Katz by the Federal District Court in Philadelphia enjoining them from selling counterfeit TIFFANY merchandise.

Yeah, that's what I'm planning on doing. I use a text-only email browser anyways, so I don't ever open things directly in an email.

My friend got her engraved Cake knife set and Cake topper off of ebay. She also got her garters (new of course) for, like, 3 buck a piece!!!
So for the small stuff I would totally look into Ebay.
Happy Bidding!
