All About Pocket Knives

It’s a shame they don’t do this for other items (like knives). https://pages.ebay.com/authenticity-gua ... dingcards/ But I’m also sure it comes with a cost. The ad says it’s free - for a limited time. In a way though it’s an indication ebay knows there is a lot of fraud in their listings.

Right Ken, too bad they don't offer this across the board.

The ad eBay says

We take fraud and counterfeits seriously.

I think the only thing thay take seriously is the money. Yes, they take the money.

They have been doing this for awhile with high end watches. I have never
bought a high end watch though.

Like eBay takes fraud and counterfeits "very seriously". They might for companies (like high-end watches and luggage) whose products are heavily faked (and are likely bankrolling this effort), have the money and lawyers to fight it; but eBay is chock full of Chinese sellers of bootleg items. There are fakes for basically every tactical knife brand out there--Fox, Spyderco, Benchmade, Kershaw/Zero Tolerance--these are just a few.


I think if eBay really cared about fakes, they'd shut down the eBay accounts of the dozens of Chinese sellers with loads of counterfeit merchandise.

They have problems recognizing fake knives but can spot a switch blade from the back side and remove it in a flash.
