Overall Summary

Suspicious

Why we think so?

This eBay listing offers a "Re:Zero Rem Wedding Shiromuku Kimono ~ 1/7 FuRyu" figure for AUD $150 + high international shipping from Glasgow, UK. The seller, 'tpuefol2', shows limited public profile data but has a feedback score of 100 and nearly 500 sales of this item, both notable for an individual account. No direct scam or counterfeit complaints appear against the seller as of December 2025, but risk factors remain due to the seller's low-profile identity, lack of detailed feedback, and a "no returns accepted" policy. Buyers should use eBay’s protections, closely inspect received goods, and compare official product photos and pricing for authenticity. Proceeding carries some risk, but there is no hard evidence of fraudulent activity at this time. 🕵️‍♂️

Detailed Checks & Insights

0-100 Scale

Seller identity transparency

Score: 40

Failed

"This is typical of lower-volume or new eBay sellers but increases risk for high-volume items at below-market prices."

Reason: Seller's eBay profile lacks store name, logo, or detailed history—only a username and feedback score are visible, making it hard to verify who is behind the account.

Sales and fulfillment history

Score: 70

Passed

"High sale numbers can be positive but may also be used to manufacture legitimacy if not accompanied by detailed positive feedback."

Reason: The seller has sold nearly 500 units of this specific figure, showing ability to fulfill orders repeatedly.

Review and feedback authenticity

Score: 45

Failed

"Buyers should review the linked feedback page for in-depth recent review content and check for repetition, vague praise, or lack of specifics."

Reason: No detailed buyer feedback is available for public review—feedback appears as a total number only. This makes it harder to spot patterns of dissatisfaction or fake feedback.

Product legitimacy (counterfeit risk assessment)

Score: 55

Failed

"If you buy, compare photos closely to official references for proof of origin, box/barcode, and package details."

Reason: The price is below international retail averages, and the category (Japanese anime figures) is often targeted by counterfeiters. No outside reports flag this exact seller or product, but risk cannot be ruled out.

Return policy & buyer protection

Score: 75

Passed

"You can still open an eBay case even if the seller says no returns."

Reason: Listing states 'no returns accepted,' but eBay Money Back Guarantee still protects buyers for 'not as described' or counterfeit goods.

Legal and reputational external checks

Score: 65

Passed

"Absence of complaints is not proof of safety but lowers the likelihood of a systematic scam."

Reason: Web search finds no major scam complaints or fraud allegations tied to this seller as of December 2025.

Your Next Steps

1

Carefully inspect the seller's eBay feedback profile—read recent positive and negative reviews for signs of fakery or repeated issues.
2

Compare all product images from the listing with official retailer photos (AmiAmi, Kappa Hobby) to confirm logo placement, box barcodes, and paint details.
3

If you purchase: verify build quality and authenticity upon arrival. Look for key counterfeit signs: poor printing, blurry logos, off paint, or mismatched base/box details.
4

Only pay through eBay checkout or PayPal and keep all communication within eBay for protection.
5

If the product seems fake, damaged, or not as described, immediately open a return or 'item not as described' case—eBay Money Back Guarantee overrides the seller's 'no returns' policy for these problems.
