My total purchases on eBay are still in single figures, and tbh, I`ve never had any cause for complaints with any previous purchase. Last week, I bought hair straighteners (not for myself, I hasten to add) for less than half the price they`re on offer at Boots, Argos, etc. They were advertised as new, and the seller has a 94.4% satisfaction review. The straighteners haven`t arrived yet and aren`t due until the end of the month, which makes me wonder where they`re coming from. My son in law thinks they may be fakes rather than the genuine article.
Thoughts anyone?

I would guess from China.
my guess is they are buying from Alixexpress or Temu.
I orderd an item before and I think thats what happened.
don`t have any issues with it, but maybe buying direct from China is an idea.

That did cross my mind, BPP. 🙄
I suppose I can always return them if postage costs are not prohibitive. I was impressed by the high customer satisfaction stat. Not sure if such claims are validated by eBay.

Unfortunately the stats usually mean nothing, they are somehow generated by a bot.
In future, if you are willing to wait a week or 2 for delivery on an item, it`s worth checking out AliExpress. Most electricals are manufactured in China anyway, so makes sense to buy direct. There`s a lot of bargains to be had compared to the usual UK prices.

Buying from Aliba after checking if the seller is in UK, is the way to go if buying from China. Mebbe iv been lucky but I bought loads with no problems.

I agree. I repair everything that breaks in my house. My wife hates it. I buy from Alibaba. I have an electric razor that is over 15 years old and it is like triggers broom due to Alibaba. The only place I can now get spares.

Will be Chinese bangers GG.
Check the feedback on the account. Sounds like it will be a new account maybe a month or so old.
Also check their location. If it states UK but still claiming something daft like a 2-3 week delivery window then you know it`s a whole sale drop shipper from Asia.
They flood new accounts with fake stuff, usually before Ebays automated systems detect they are selling hooky stuff and/or someone reports them after buying something , which ever comes first.
