E-bay seller, StatusApparels sells what it calls "Wayfarer" sunglasses, which would lead one to believe these are the classic Ray Ban models. They even show a picture of the Blues Brothers wearing Ray Ban Wayfarer glasses in their ad. The glasses they are actually selling are not Ray Bans, they are knock-offs manufactured in China. This is not to say the glasses they are sellling are a rip off. In fact, they are pretty good glassss for the money and most people would never know they're not the real thing. Nevertheless, their posting is deceptive and you will be disappointed if you think you are bidding on a pair of Ray Bans. They sell so many glasses that they're able to keep their positive feedback rating percentage up but they they've gotten about 40 negative feedbacks in the last six months and almost every one has been from someone (like me) who felt the ad was deceptive. What's really scarry is that if you dare to complain, they negative feedback you! I've been an e-bayer since 1999 and had never received a negative feedback until I bought a pair of their "Wayfarer" glasses. I paid promptly and never questioned the product. In fact, one couldn't expect more for the price. Nevertheless, merely because I gave them neutral feedback and suggested that their ad should make it clear that they are not selling Ray Bans, they gave me negative feedback. This is clearly a misuse of the feedback process and you sholud be aware before entereing into any transaction with them that they have given negative feedback to every customer who has raised this issue with them. Beware.
