Do you buy your Oakleys on ebay, Why / Why not?

I got burned once, purchased a Twoface that turned out to be fake. Kicked myself hard for not doing more research. Be very careful getting from Ebay, too many fakes out there

This forum can also have scammers you still need to be careful.

Thanks for the heads up

I've had pretty good luck on ebay, especially when looking for frames. Most people won't spend hundreds of dollars to put Oakley RX lenses into fake sunglasses, so older frames with RX lenses are unlikely to be fake.

I've come to accept that my idea of "mint", "excellent", "like new", or "never used" is different than that of your average ebay member that thinks scratched lenses are new. Oh well, I never buy anything there that I'm not planning on replacing the lenses.

I did have one guy sell me broken glasses that were poorly packaged. Still waiting on ebay to refund that order, as the seller refused to.

I use eBay often for Oakley, just be careful and compare the listings pics to Oakley website or o review. Many times I’ve requested pics of the sku to help verify they’re real and if a seller won’t I don’t buy! Some listings are so obviously fake like 30$ for nib Oakley

Yep same here as it happened to me today with a seller telling me Luxotica doesn’t ship the labels on their boxes and I was like ok fakes.

If I buy on eBay it’s only from authorized reseller or retailers like @zoneoptics or GlassesWorld where I know the item is legit.

I think the prices on eBay are super high and overpriced. Doesn't mean not to buy there, but doing your homework and investigation will prevent from paying too much.

You can find good deals on Ebay, but it is getting harder to find them. The rise of fakes being sold there is bad. I will take my chances here with people I trust. Ebay will not have your back unless you lawyer up.
