I recently bid and won a pair of "Dolce and Gabbana" sunglasses for $41. The seller had a picture of the glasses in a Dolce and Gabbana case. They explained that the case would "not be included as I need them for my other glasses"

There was an entire paragraph devoted to telling about Dolce and Gabbana designers and sunglasses.

Then the glasses were described as being "exactly as pictured" and referred to as "DG". At first I thought this was a typo as Dolce and Gabbana is "D & G" NOT "DG". DG is a generic off brand (think "Dollar General") sold for about $5 a pair in discount stores and for 99 cents a pair on ebay!

It wasn't a typo. And, upon looking more carefully at the picture I realized that the glasses were "DG" NOT "D & G".

I checked on the seller and found that they were listed as a "buyer" (feedback) for the (checked the item number) Dolce and Gabbana case which they were using in the picture.

Other items they've sold. "DG" (fraudulantly advertised as "Dolce and Gabbana") glasses all prominently displayed in the same Dolce and Gabbana case. All with the same note that the case is not included as the seller needs it for their "other glasses".

On one buy they bought a different Dolce and Gabbana case (light colored) with cleaning cloth, etc. I found this advertised as Dolce and Gabbana (already sold, checked feedback) with a pair of (close check of picture) sunglasses with a "DG" NOT "D & G"tag!

Be warned. Several buyers have fallen for this and bought "DG" glasses as Dolce and Gabbana at prices from $20 - $60.

Please check the pictures carefully. Do NOT buy if the side of the glasses or the tag reads "DG" (think "Dollar General") instead of "D & G".

Authentic Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses:

ALWAYS read "D & G"

Come with their own case, not just one that the seller is using for display.

And, beware of the seller if the case IS "D & G" but the glasses are "DG".

The seller that I noted only keeps one or two items out at a time. This makes them appear to be a small dealer of personal overstock glasses.

AND, when I contacted them they acted surprised and responded that they had bought the glasses as genuine D & G. So...

PLEASE CHECK FEEDBACK! This is how I discovered that this person or persons were buying genuine D & G cases but noted the pictures of other sunglasses that they had sold as "Dolce and Gabbana" were "DG" instead.

And, Please report these fraudulant activities to ebay. I did.

Happy bidding!
