Tons of fake rolexs now easily available. Haha

 

[dark_aLLeY]

shop from boutique?

 

[trd2970]

No use lah
Report til finger cramped
Response very slow and most of the time nothing gets done
Even when the sellers get suspended, they easily create another new account

to the best of my knowledge, Carousell somehow managed to make such seller's phone completely unable to login to Carousell...even reinstaling doesnt help, they just are unable to access the Carousell app. I'm not sure how this is done, but they are doing it.

Even without people reporting it, Carousell's admin do prowl the listing to fish out suspicious sellers...

there is a fine balance between having a open community and one that blocks out counterfeit products completely, so if you have a suggestion on how they can solve this counterfeit issue, you can directly email them your suggestion de

The only way to get rid of these sellers is to be relentless and ruthless, have to really step up the policing efforts and not just rely on users to report. Obviously their current approach is not working because there are just so many new ones popping up every other minute.

I also believe more drastic actions are required such as reporting the registered users' HP number (used to log on) and other details to the authorities.

For every 1 buyer that exercised due diligence, there are another 5 that will somehow fall prey due to greed
Since Carousell is providing this platform for public use, it has to be socially, ethically and morally responsible to ensure illegal stuff are kept off the platform, especially with the increase popularity

[cyrenic]

Does anyone realize that Carousell currently doesn't earn a thing (AFAIK) from its platform?

With no money, you expect regular patrolling? Naw..

 

[dlrowehtleah]

some responsible sellers do label their items as "inspired". others may state that it is "replica".
eg https://sg.carousell.com/p/60445138/?rank=1
eg https://sg.carousell.com/p/60133151/?rank=0

some are less upfront. they'll just state that it is imported and the rest are up to your imagination. e.g. there are hordes of under armour drawstring bags in carousell, most of these are not authentic. i patronize quite regularly at local UA boutique, the staff told me they don't even have those designs that are circulating in carousell! but at least, these online sellers would not go to the extend of openly declare their items as authentic.
eg https://sg.carousell.com/p/56511505/?rank=2

but the most despicable ones, although i've yet to come across first hand, are those who sell fake items but proclaims them as genuine and hence reflected in their asking prices.

anyway, caveat emptor.

[Kahlua73]

Please lo even established power sellers - some of them sell fake lo

 

[sansanjikikut]

Let me start the carouhall of shame rolling.

Fake suavecito. Seller ignores enquiry when asked whether it authentic. Also changed his profile photo later on. Dead giveaway. Reposts the same listing in 3 different categories daily. His other listings are probably fake to some extend

Another one selling counterfeit suavecito & shiner gold - http://carousell.com/p/61614896/

Think all these kuku got their stock from dhgate and alixexpress, priced around 5USD each. All blinded by profit only with zero product knowledge. MF
