Did you buy a pair of jeans on Ebay? A shirt? A pair of shoes? Have your clothes been shipped from Bulgaria?

In this case they are certainly counterfeit!

Ilientzi's's marketplace in the suburbs of Sofia is currently the biggest fake marketplace in Bulgaria. You can find  Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Roberto Cavalli, Diesel, everything counterfeit. All marketplaces in Bulgaria are swamped with counterfeit clothes, shoes, bags, sunglasses and even perfumes. Copies of all luxury brands, most produced in the neighboring Turkia, others in the same bulgarian country. Ilientzi's marketplace is a real "heaven" for counterfeit clothes, locally called "mente".

You can find all luxury brands, from Dolce & Gabbana jeans, to Roberto Cavalli's one's, Versace shirts, Levi's and Diesel. You can easily buy a pair of fake Dolce & Gabbana jeans for 20-25 leva (15 dollars).

These items are sold now through another channel, that is Ebay. Ebay is swamped with counterfeit clothes from Bulgarians marketplaces. There are few sellers with dozens selling accounts on Ebay listing thousands of counterfeit jeans, shirts and bags coming from Bulgaria. Accounts appear to be registered in different countries, from United States to UK, from Canada to Italy but counterfeit goods are all shipped from Bulgaria.

The item location always shows something different that Bulgaria, most simply state US, some write funny things like "stocks in Europe" (do you think that Dolce & Gabbana will ever have stocks in Bulgaria? You gotta be kidding......) or "2006 Fashion" (what should means "2006 fashion" for item location?)

What to do?

Report the item to your local autorized store or law enforcement with Ebay account you have purchased from and explain the situation. Report the item to Ebay and explain them the item is fake. More than 3 reports in less than 1 month will lead to account suspension. Please help us to clean Ebay from all thousands of sellers who sell counterfeit clothes.
