For all you Ebay'ers

How do you know if what someone is selling on there is high quality?
Meaning they say it is SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL, is it really and why so cheap if it is?

I have bought things off of there but am a little skeptical when it comes to jewelry and stuff.

Real:






FAKE:






There should be some indication of Swarovski in the picture - tags, bag, etc. I think you can tell the difference- Swarovski has a certain look.

There is also another option where tiaras are made using swarovski crystal rhinestones . . . this is difficult to tell on a nicer quality tiara or piece of jewelry . . .

e-bay is usually good at making sure its what it says it is...I once listed something as 'Tiffany inspired'..NEVER said it was Tiffany and made sure in my description it was not indicated to be, yet they pulled it anyway for using that word...BUT I have seen some Swarovski stuff listed as such recently that DEFINATLY is not....
