Sadly, there are tons of fake *Primp* thermal tops on ebay. The sellers of these shirts are in the USA and overseas (they are everywhere). There are several ways you can prevent getting tricked into buying a fake *Primp* thermal top. #1 If they have a picture lifted off of another website showing what the shirt supposedly looks like or the only picture they have is a picture of a celebrity wearing the shirt - but they do not have an actual photo of the shirt up close and far away that they made themselves with their own camera of the exact item you are bidding on/buying then do not believe it to be authentic and DO NOT BID, PLEASE!!!  #2 If the thermal top is made of a ribbed material and not the waffle weave stretchy material that most typical thermal shirts are made from then it is NOT authentic no matter what the seller says. #3 If the sellers tell you that "these tops run small/slim" then it is not authentic because I have bought many *Primp* items from high end retail stores which carry the real thing for a fact because they are the only authorized retailers of *Primp* items and they run large, not small typically. The authentic thermals DO run LARGE. Fake thermals run very small, almost ridiculously small, such as a large fits like a small and a medium fits like an x-small. #4 If it has a black and white tag hanging from the shirt that says *P*R*I*M*P* or something similar it is FAKE. *Primp* does not pre-tag their items whatsoever! #5 If you are looking for a pony thermal they do not come in the color pink or any variation of any color other than brown / coffee/ cream. The bunny thermals come in pink, white (creamish), gray (bell) and that is all I have ever seen color-wise. #6 If you think a *Primp* thermal is authentic and you buy it and receive it and it is in a pre-printed bag that says PRIMP on the front and it is a clearish colored bag, then inspect the item further for the above signs of being a fake because *Primp* does not bag their items in that manner - ever-. **It does indeed depend on the store it is sold from how it is bagged/boxed, but you will never have an authentic *Primp* shirt that has a pre-printed bag or box saying PRIMP. #7 If you do buy a *Primp* thermal from ebay and you notice after receiving it the quality of the shirt is just "so-so but cute" in your opinion please inspect it further because *Primp*'s quality is awesome and outstanding and once you have seen the real thing, you will find it easier to spot an authentic from a fake. Look for poor quality or stitching. **NOTE: With the diamontes on the bunnies/horses on cheap fakes they fall off VERY easy. On authentic *Primp* tops they are secured on. #8 Beware of sellers claiming they buy from wholesale companies or they buy in bulk or know someone who works with the company and gets discounts because *Primp* does not sell their items that way.

~~I hope these tips have helped everyone, and beware because out of all of the *Primp* tops I have searched on ebay, I found only 2 authentic ones out of about 100 shirts for sale. So buyer beware and heed the info above -please- so you don't get tricked and fall victim to fake/fraudulent items. **The safest way to buy authentic *Primp* thermals is from a retailer, message me for a list of safe places to buy from for there are only a few authorized retailers of *Primp*. That again is not to say that ebay does not have true authentic *Primp* items for sale, for there are a few, just use your best judgement before buying or bidding.  Hope this helped:)
