Help with Ebay counterfeit grips


bigeasy

Recommended Posts

First of all, I know you dont buy grips on ebay, but I took my chances on 2 golfpride mcc plus 4s. Sure enough when I received them, they didnt look right. Shorter than any I have ever purchased and the graphics were too small. Sent pictures into Goldpride and they said they were definitely counterfeit. Ebay will not refund $ unless I send grips back to seller and they want let me leave negative feed back. Any options at this point, its just the principal they are backing a seller who willingly or unwillingly sold counterfeit grips. I am not sending back grips!

Not an option for me, I refuse to send counterfeit grips back to a seller so he can sell again.

Well unfortunately you wont get your money back if you don't, you cant expect Ebay to be on your side if you refuse to send them back, i would send them back and leave negative feedback, as soon as other buyers see a negative feedback for an item being fake they will soon start to lose buyers

If that’s your principles - respect - but then just eat them. I think returning and leaving negative feedback would have an impact. 
 

ebay told you what your options are. Nothing anyone says here is going to change anything. 
 

I don’t know if eBay tracks such things but maybe they shut down a seller at some point for dealing in counterfeits? Don’t know how that works but does anyone know if reporting/returning has any impact?

I bought some fake grips just after new year, i even got golf pride to confirm they were fake as well, but i still had to send them back, left negative feedback, and reported at least 3 of his other listings for fake grips, but hes still selling, hoping its no where near as much after i left feedback

 

I would imagine you would have to have a lot of buyers reporting the seller to get anywhere, and most probably dont even know they are fakes

If you refuse to send them back then eat the cost and move on. There is nothing else you can do.

Yea in hindsight I guess that makes sense. I guess that’s why eBay is so notorious for fake grips. I’m sure it’s not easy to police but would be nice if they’d take out the trash a little more frequently. I wouldn’t buy grips off of eBay ever. 
 

I guess the only possible or maybe most effective deterrent is the negative feedback.

i've bought grips 3 times off ebay and all have been fake, the shops that do sell on Ebay that are genuine golf shops increase there prices compared to their normal shop prices, so for me there just isn't a point buying grips off ebay, well this seems to be the case in the UK

As an FYI, there is a good chance if you open a return on eBay that the seller will just let you keep the counterfeit grips and refund your money.  Criminals don't like paying for return shipping!

 

Also, beware with Scotty Cameron Matador grips - so many fakes out there and the quality of the fakes has improved.  They are now the correct weight and length, but still several tells (smell, top & bottom caps not trimmed, too soft, dimple coloring not right, and letter coloring not perfectly centered).

This is not true in all cases....  I rolled the dice on MCC grips about 6 years ago and they were counterfeits.  I sent a stern message to the seller who was located in North Carolina that he refund me immediately and I was contacting eBay and EATON- Golf Pride.  The money was refunded within hours and his eBay items listed were as gone.  

 

               The grips were given to my local Club builder and sent to Golf Pride.

First mistake was taking a chance on something you already knew would bring you here. Frustrated or not , It's simple , don't buy grips on eBay trying to save a buck , they're gonna be fake. And if you refuse to send them back , that's on you but not sure what you're looking for now, everyone here knows you can't buy grips on eBay.

I bought a SuperStroke grip about a month ago from a seller with GREAT feedback/reviews, who had dozens of the same grip for sale. When it arrived I immediately spotted several issues that confirmed that it was fake, so I started a return and wrote out my reasons (with pictures) for the return. I was nearly immediately issued a refund and was not given the option to mail the grip back.

 

That seller then deleted the listing, and I think all of their other golf listings. I also sent an email to SS about it and offered to send them the fake grip, but they never responded so I guess it wasn't too big of a concern to them/

I actually had an admin here tell me that he buys grips on ebay that are close outs and not counterfeit...  I was polite and said  " ok"  because I know it is a 

no win situation with some 🙄

That's on you. Can't blame anybody but yourself for that move.

I fell for it once. I cut the grips all in half and shipped them back. I got my money back.  Cut them in half, send the note from Golf pride in the box with them.

 

Yeah...not sure how eBay is going to view that.
