The world of ebay can be great...or very deceiving and dissapointing,when it comes to the world of designer clothing. Now i decided to write this guide as I have owned both real and FAKE juicy. I have scrutinized over them and picked out some differences to look for. Most of my real juicy was purchased from an actual retailer rather than ebay, so my first tip... skip ebay for juicy and go right to the source. True, it's expensive... but paying over 100 dollars(when all is said and done) for a FAKE is completely absurd. If you do not live near an actual store thats sells it, try neimanmarcus.com or shopbop.com. Nonetheless, here are some tips when juicy hunting on ebay.

1) Location, location, location!!! As you have probably read in  guides this is a big starting point! They are absolutely, 100% right. Anything overseas like china, hong kong and korea, you should be wary of. Most, but not all are fakes. But beware!! As many are listed in the USA as well. But personally, anything in  overseas I veto, as i've been ripped off before!!!

2)Check feedback!!! Before you get all excited, read it. Lot of times ppl will actually say in the feeback, positive or not,whether it was authentic or not.

3)Buy it nows for brand new suits for a measly 59.00???Incl. the royalty suits and doggie velour.... FAKE!!! Rule of thumb, if it seems too good to be true it probably is. Juicy never sells for that cheap on anything, much less very popular styles!!Don't let your hope blind you!!!!

4) Sellers who sell multiple items of the same thing in different sizes are probably selling a big ol'fleet of JUNKY FAKES! particularly when pictures of the actual juicy models wearing the outfits. There is very few authentic juicy items, if selling one, why not post a REAL picture and prove it? But also, alot that have "real" pics are fake too. see below

5)Regarding velour.... if there is actual pictures, and they are good enough you should look the quality of the fabric. Actual Juicy velour looks thick and fakes look flimsy and thin, with some shine to it. I received a fake blue one, identical to the one below, and the fabric of these fake outfits remind me of the fabric on those old school paddle things that remove hair and lint. Authentic is real soft and lush looking. The two below are examples of fakes!!

  

Now this next tip is a tad inconvenient, as it is hard to acertain through photos. But the replica tags on the fake outfits are quite easy to notice in person. Authentic juicy hangtags are a thick cardboard type and don't just bend.Fake ones do. Use this tip to help confirm your items authenticity upon receiving it.

Ahhh.. the ever coveted "royalty" suit!!!! Almost all of these on ebay are fakes. Now check out the picture I took to show you all what an authentic "juicy" should look like. Maybe when buying set you could check this out. The jacket is a real juicy velour. The pic with the pants, the pink is fake, the dark ones are real. Notice the signifigance in the letter spacing and shape of the pants. The real ones are med and other is small. Yet they look like S and L. Good luck to all, and be sure to check out the other guides as we all add our own little tips, and I hope this was helpful.

                                                 

This guide is aimed at the highly copied styles, and having sellers writing me stating that they feel wronged, and that they sell real Juicy, well is pointless as ppl are STILL being ripped off. And this is simply tips to help others. If this doesn't apply to you then be happy, but for most juicy on ebay, it is a reality that truly is dissapointing. I have recieved many fakes from here from sellers who swear they got it from reputable sellers and got the cheapest knock off despite their claims. You just can't be too careful.  I am now starting a list of trustworthy sellers who you should go to, as this guide is NOT aimed at these people. Good Luck!

Some Great juicy sellers to check out, So far I have one,

citc_slo , Check her out she has amazing feedback and sells the real thing!Her ebay store is called cash in the closet. If your going to buy Juicy On here, start with her :)
