would you trust this seller?

have bought something off him (not for much) but am concerened as to the authenticity of his items?

have a look for your self here, look at whats for sale, and notice that he leaves private feedback for all autographed memorabilia, why does ebay allow this?

opinions please guys

Wouldn't trust him an inch. There was a programme on the TV not long ago about these type of eBay ads and they got Trading Standards to report on the authenticity of these allegedly signed shirts. They did a check against an original signature and there were huge differences.

The guy they were checking up on was signing them himself and by the looks of it, wasn't even bothering to remotely try and copy an authentic signature.

Email the bloke selling them and ask for a close up pic of the signature on the shirt... and then try and find an orig signature and compare. If you buy a shirt and the sig is different to the one he's sent you a pic of... it's fraud.

i think the wording of his add & the prices say it all !

"I am selling a 100% genuine signed David Beckham Real Madrid Shirt!! "

there is no doubt that it will be a genuinely signed shirt by someone but an original sig by DB ???


would be worth much more than Ł40 IMO

Dodgy as fuck IMO........His wording after the 1st paragraph is all the same.....Fake as you like............

Agree with Pete, that Gary Pallister shirt would be worth a LOT of cash...Not a 99p starting bid..........
