How to spot fake Chanel mother of Pearl sunglasses

 First, most fakes come with a box authenticity papers and lense cloth and with the numbers on the inside of the plastic and the stamp and numbers embedded in the lense itself. These are VERY good fakes!!!! The mother of pearl is plastic, you can not tell by the pictures, also there is a metal rod embedded in the plastic from the hinge to the part that goes around the ear (1st picture), there is this zip lock bag that the glasses come in, and they don't show you that in their e bay pictures.

Questions to ask: Ask where they bought it? What did they pay for it? ( then you can call the store to see exact price payed for those glasses) Does it have the metal piece described above? ( real Chanel mother of pearl sunglasses do not have this) If they do not answer your questions do not bid or buy.....they always have these on here and there is no hurry to possibly lose hundreds or more, I am not sure why e bay does not do more to protect the buyers.

Some sellers will start bidding low like .99 cents for brand new with tags sunglasses, and some will be a bid or buy it now for 150.00 and up to 300. 00 or more. I bought these for 150.00 with 100% authentic and a guarantee to return them for money back on e bay and they are fake!! It took over a month for her to be forced to give me my money back. I thought I was asking all the right questions. She was selling them for her cousin, and said she bought them at sunglass hut. She answered my questions very fast and seemed genuine.

I have included the pictures of the fake sunglasses so you will be able to see if you have a fake or are buying one. It does not matter if their feedback is 100% with over a thousand purchases or mine were purchased from a seller who had 0% feedback and I also found out she had another e bay account with selling of 100% with 600 feedback, so buyer beware. I would suggest you go into a sunglass store and look carefully at the real ones, so when you get them from your e bay seller you will know if they are fake. I hope this helps all of you.

Another note, if you file a dispute with pay pal or your credit card, if the seller asks you to cancel them and they will pay you......don't believe them. Once you cancel any dispute it is closed forever. They (seller) may say to you cancel charge back or dispute because they can not put the money in the account because it is frozen, they can pay once it has been declared their fault. Also look at what they are selling in there store, if it is several Chanel sunglasses at below retail or even wholesale, there is something wrong. I found the fakes I bought by just typing in Chanel mother of pearl sunglasses replica or fakes in my Google bar and there they were. They had some with box, papers, cloth, and case, some even came with a Chanel shopping bag. The cloths come in 2 colors as well black and light brown.
