Items on e-bay are cheaper than identical shop bought goods because your not paying overheads,no premises rental,no utility bills nor staff etc As for fake items on the 'Bay yes there are some here but theres more accountability in the UK with trading standards etc,no such thing in pinas,I bought a Ralph Lauren t-shirt in Kingstons Bentall Center for £55,I know I am getting the genuine authentic item,fakes here are normally sold from car-boots or outdoor markets like Kempton Park,yet in Pinas Gaisano,SM,and Robinsons all sell fake Ralp Lauren and other brand name goods at rock bottom price,fraud and counterfeit goods are rife in pinas
