Scammed on EBay
Wanted to get a watch for my son’s graduation. Was hoping to find a used one on EBay and found a “deal” for a $250 Runwell “new in the box with papers.” When item arrived it looked good but I had nothing to compare it to. After poking around online and reading about ways to identify a fake versus a real Shinola, I got nervous. The back wasn’t seemingly completely flush. The crown wasn’t entirely smooth. Yet I was able to register it through Shinola’s official site. I took it to a Shinola store and the guy was immediately able to identify it as fake on sight by the details of the strap alone. Even I could tell the difference when holding a real one and comparing them. Seller on eBay is elimahgee_0/Elijah Mahgeelongino. They had a 100% positive rating before me. I should have known better. If something is too good to be true it probably is.
