FEEDBACK, FEEDBACK, FEEDBACK! Look at the feedback! Look for auctions pertaining specifically to Abercrombie items if the seller sells multiple items. I would generally say if they have one negative feedback complaining about it fake, there's a good chance. If there's a few, they're almost definatley fakes.

NEW EBAYER WITH LOTS OF MERCHANSIDE? Chances are if someone lists a lot of Abercrombie items at the same time and have no feedback, its fake. There are legitimate sources in the US to buy authentic Abercrombie, but to order from these you typically need to have a registered business, buy in large bulk etc. You should be skeptical about an eBayer with lots of things for sale and relatively new to eBay.

PRICING! Let me clear something up that I think the other guides missed. If the 'Buy It Now' prices are "too good to be true" it's probably a fake. If they start there auction between .99 and 9.99 that doesn't necessarily mean it's fake! A good eBayer knows what their auction will go for and therefore doesn't need reserves, 'Buy It Now's' etc.

TAGS! Most fakes will have for example 'Mens M' on the price tag whereas authentic Abercrombie states 'Mens Medium'- otherwise the tags were identical. While this can seem insignificant it's small differences like these than you can sometimes tell you if it's fake or not for certain.

FINAL PRODUCT! Did you see it in the store? Does it look like the picture? Is the quality off or is something else just not quite right? It's probably a fake! There is no shame in taking a purchased Abercrombie item to the store to verify if it is infact authentic or not!

ZIPPERS & BUTTONS! Check the zippers and buttons either for the moose insignia or Abercrombie & Fitch labeled on them. If they say something else such as 'DK' or another brand, that's a definite sign of a fake!
