    1. Ebay dont care(unofficially), they still take their cut.
    2.People dont realise they are fake. The people who know they are fake wouldnt buy them in the first place, so cant give negative feedback (some ebuyers may not even know how to give feedback)
    3.Dont know about cancellling. I would think they cant force you to pay, but you may get -tve feedback yourself.

    additionally yonex have bigger problems and bigger fake sellers to stop (IE the factories that make all the fakes) to stop individual cases (even serial sellers like this one)

    BJ should know more.

    Bluejeff,

    Good luck, most of their information is old, and I am unsure of their ability in this area, as the company owning them/with rights is Grey Nichols, a cricket company.

    I recently visited a sporting goods store here and I found a few fakes here. Not good fakes thou the serial wasn't engraved so it gave the game away. The shopkeeper himself admitted they were fakes. But the strange bit is he said that the fakes came from Korea. North or South I don't know.

    Possibly now Korea has fake racquet manufacturers??

    Whew, it took some time time to find this topic. It's a good thing I remembered this a year back. This topic's too useful for it to be forgotten. I propose stickying it! :)

    It's more of the higher ends one since there's more money there. I guess it's caveat emptor in the non mall places. Why not try going to those popular sports shops to be assured? :)
