Chinese sellers are becoming adept at "manufacturing" seemingly trustworthy EBay identities, in order to sell fake Chanel, Gucci, Dolce, Tiffany, Cartier, Rolex, and other high-value counterfeit designer clothing to suckers in the USA.

To spot a "manufactured" seller identity, look at their feedback.  The seller will have 10 or 11 quick transactions that all took place between different individuals in China, each for a small, inexpensive item, and each posts highly positive feedback (in english of course). After these first 10 or 11 local transactions, which are small items such as 1 pair of stockings, then presto! All of a sudden the seller starts listing expensive, brand new (fake!) Chanel, Guggi, Dolce and Gabbana, or similar designer knock-offs for hundreds, or even thousands of dollars. Thus, with more than 10 feedbacks obtained, the seller has a solid "100% positive feedback" reputation that allows them to dupe the unsuspecting buyer.  With more than 10 feedback they also qualify to begin listing "buy it now" type sales.

See, for example the seller dinglianchai58, which perfectly fits this pattern.  

To the inattentive buyer, the 100% positive feedback is a sign the seller can be trusted, right! Wrong! Early on there will be no feedback from anyone except from these small, probably sham transactions.  Then you will see some negatives from USA customers as soon as they see the fake designer goods they wasted their money on.  By the time more than a one or two negatives have been posted, the seller discards the "tainted' eBay identity and moves on to another.
