I have purchased from sellers on Ebay that buy QVC overstock & returns and resell them.  Recently I got two Laurie Felt denim jackets. They were $20 each & included shipping.  Never have had a bad experience.

     Motto of the story...do NOT use any ads on FB to order ANYTHING.  Just go to the products website.  If they are having a legit sale it will be on their website.  Anything on FB is 99.99% fraud and fake period.  I have seen these ads over and over and heard some people fall for them due to the sale pricing of items.  Just go to the website directly.  That's the ONLY way to ensure you're seeing the real thing.  I have seen where they have uploaded actual QVC videos to spoof customers.  And it's easy to see how some will believe it. 

    FYI-there is nothing QVC can do to stop it.  QVC cannot "shut them down".  It's up to you the consumer to be aware of where you are ordering from and the only safe place is the actual website for the product period.   These sites are not associated with QVC and they have no way to monitor them.

@bells4meI've never ordered clothing from EBay but have other ordered other things. Never heard about any bad experience with clothing.  They are usually the real thing.

 

The ads on FaceBook are the ones that's mentioned here. Just saw one for Skechers, spelt "STECHERS" and they look just like the real thing. Most people don't look at the spelling and then they get ripped off.

Embarrassed to say I purchased tennis shoes from a site advertising they offer best selling merchandise from QVC. It was a $50 lesson for me. The white tennis shoes I was expecting ended up being cheap rubbers (to go over shoes maybe?) that have white shoelaces glued onto the front. I am quite sure the Dollar Store would never carry this piece of junk. They did not send a confirmation email. They only sent the "shoes" after I filed a dispute with Discover Card. The envelope they arrived in (when I say envelope you understand these are not shoes) has no return address and no order documentation. I cannot return them. Again, it is a lesson for me. So, QVC, you should shut down QVCBestSelling. Even Discover questioned how QVC could have sent such trash. I explained it was not QVC. So QVC, shut them down because they are tarnishing your name!

So what was the outcome?  Did Discover come through for you?

???    NOT being a smart azz, but HOW do you read something and not notice the spelling of the words you are reading?

@Tinkrbl44  oh we see what we want to see.  First you see the shoes that looks like Skechers so you don't pay attention to anything else. Sometimes the spelling is one letter off. That's how a lot of people get caught.

 

I'm so used to seeing these things on FB so I also pay close attention.

Thank you for the explanation.  I'm not really one for facebook so I have not ever come across this.
