Real or Faux-kleys

[CDougherty09]

I got these on eBay and they arrived today. Thought they were eye jackets(?). The listing said "new without tags" and the pictures looked really good. Also listed as polarized. When they arrived, first of all definitely not polarized. Also several areas on the frame have paint flaked off, including the "O" icon on the left ear stem. Also no model name, number or made in USA on the inside.


As far as I know, Oakleys aren't painted, and in particular the icon shouldn't flake. Before I contact the seller I wanted to get some feedback. Good news is I only paid $67. Seller doesn't offer refunds, but at least I have the eBay guarantee to rely on.

Greatly appreciated.

I cant blame you since pictures were deceptive. Ebay will definitely help you get your money back. The only issue is if you have to cover the return shipping cost.

Not if he opens a case and prints the return label through ebay

I messaged the seller and so far no response (not a surprise). For some reason I get an error message when I try to request a return through eBay saying "We couldn't process your request because of a technical issue. Please try again.". Tried different browsers and rebooting etc. Might have to try to call eBay tomorrow.

That one is so fake I cant believe you bought it to begin with.

I know... shame on me. The pics on eBay were taken in a way that made it look a lot better. And I think the price was another dead give away. I only paid $67 including shipping. I was able to start the return request through eBay today, so I should be okay.

If they are fake and you can prove it you dont have to return them for a refund.
