Ebay Due Diligence
Report for Il_quizzettone88
Why we think so
This eBay listing (Tuta ROMA stagione 2025-26) shows many product images, a claimed brand of “adidas,” and high sales counts (soldQuantity: 88; “5 venduti nelle ultime 24 ore”). At the same time the seller profile data is thin: the store shows zero visible items and a feedbackScore of 0. Price was not captured in the scraped data (value=0), and returns are “not accepted.” Google Lens returned no reverse-image matches and web searches found no specific reputation history for the seller. Taken together, the listing has positive surface signals (lots of photos, recent sales, PayPal accepted) but several operational red flags (missing/odd price, zero feedback score, no returns). Recommendation: proceed with caution — ask the seller for verifiable proof of authenticity, confirm price and return terms in messages, and prefer PayPal or other protected payment methods or buy instead from an authorized retailer if authenticity matters.
Risk Insights
Seller footprint mismatch
Good visual evidence but missing verification
Contradictory Signals
Either the scrape missed feedback details, the seller recently changed accounts, or the listing is relisted under a different identity; this needs manual verification.
Signal A: High sales volume on the listing (soldQuantity=88; 5 sold in 24h)
Signal B: Seller storefront/metadata shows feedbackScore = 0 and no visible items in scrape
Category Scores
Red Flags & Warnings
-
Seller feedbackScore reported as 0 in seller metadata while soldQuantity is 88—this mismatch suggests missing/hidden feedback or an account anomaly.
-
Listing shows 'Restituzioni non accettate' (no returns), increasing buyer risk if the item is misrepresented or counterfeit.
-
Price field in scraped data is zero/missing (price.value = 0), which could indicate scraping failure or an atypical listing (auction, error, or deliberate omission).
-
Product attributes include conflicting entries (e.g., 'Marca: adidas' vs 'Fatto a mano: Sì'), which can be a sign of recycled templates or careless copying typical of counterfeit listings.
🔎 Detailed Checks & Analysis
Seller identity and profile completeness
Seller identity and profile completeness
"A legitimate long-running seller usually shows a non-zero feedback score and a populated storefront. Here the scrape shows a mismatch: the item reports 88 sales but the storefront snapshot lacks feedback details. This could be a scraping artifact or a sign the listing is operated under a recently created / relisted account. Confirm by opening the seller's feedback page directly."
Reason: Seller metadata shows feedbackScore = 0 and storefront lists no items, making identity hard to verify.
Seller reputation & feedback history
Seller reputation & feedback history
"Per the scrape, feedbackScore = 0 despite soldQuantity = 88 on the item. Check the actual eBay feedback page and filter by recent transactions to see whether feedback is present but not surfaced in this snapshot."
Reason: No accessible feedback summary in the scraped seller data; external search found no seller-specific complaints.
Listing content & consistency (brand, attributes, photos)
Listing content & consistency (brand, attributes, photos)
"Many high-quality photos are present, which is positive, but metadata fields show inconsistencies. Genuine branded listings rarely list 'handmade: yes' for factory-produced team kits. Ask the seller for close-ups of label tags and manufacturing codes."
Reason: Listing claims 'adidas' brand and season 2025-26 but includes contradictory fields (e.g., 'Fatto a mano: Sì') that suggest template reuse or careless copying.
Image authenticity (reverse-image check)
Image authenticity (reverse-image check)
"No reverse-image hits reduces ability to confirm whether these photos are taken from another retailer or reused across many listings. If the seller provides additional original photos (labels, stitch detail), the score can improve."
Reason: Automated Google Lens search returned no matches, so images cannot be confirmed as unique or official from this tool's result.
Sales velocity & volume
Sales velocity & volume
"High sold count suggests turnover and demand; genuine sellers often have repeated sales. However, high sales do not guarantee authenticity — counterfeit listings can also have high volumes. Combine this with seller feedback checks."
Reason: Listing reports 88 total sold and '5 venduti nelle ultime 24 ore', indicating steady sales.
Payment & buyer protection options
Payment & buyer protection options
"Accepting PayPal and cards improves recoverability. Still, some disputes require clear documentation and are harder when returns are not accepted."
Reason: PayPal, credit card methods listed—these provide buyer protection routes if a claim arises.
Fulfillment & returns policy
Fulfillment & returns policy
"No-returns policy increases risk for buyers of branded goods. Confirm shipping time and tracking options with the seller before purchase; prefer tracked shipping."
Reason: Listing explicitly shows returns not accepted and shipping/delivery details are vague.
Your Next Steps
-
1Open the seller's feedback page directly (https://www.ebay.it/fdbk/mweb_profile?username=il_quizzettone88) and review the most recent 20 feedback entries for patterns or inconsistencies.
-
2Message the seller through eBay and request: (1) a photo of the product tag/label taken in the last 48 hours, and (2) a photo of the item beside a dated paper or device screen to prove recency.
-
3Ask for the exact price and full shipping/return policy in the message thread; do not complete payment until the price is confirmed within the listing or messages.
-
4Prefer PayPal or card payments with buyer protection, and keep all messages and receipts; avoid wire transfers or direct bank payments.
-
5Compare the listing to the official adidas/AS Roma store prices and authorized retailers; if this price is substantially lower, treat it as a stronger counterfeit/replica risk.
