REPORT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT GOODS
You have the legal right to a refund if you’ve bought something that’s fake or counterfeit.
You can also report the seller to Trading Standards or report the seller for fraud. Trading Standards might take legal action against the seller, but they can’t help you to get your money back.
Getting a Refund from the Seller
The amount of time you have to ask for a refund depends on the date you bought the item, because the law changed in October 2015.
If You Bought before 1 October 2015
You have the legal right to a refund within a ‘reasonable’ time of you buying the item. The law isn’t very specific on how long you have, but if you’re confident in your approach you should be entitled to a refund within the first 2 months or so.
If you paid for the item over 2 months ago, you’re legally entitled to a partial refund depending on how much you’ve used the item and how long you’ve had it. You’ll have to negotiate with the seller to agree on a fair price. The seller can also give you a genuine version of the item to replace the fake one.
If You Bought on or after 1 October 2015
You’re legally entitled to a full refund on fake goods within 30 days of paying for them.
If it’s been over 30 days but less than 6 months since you paid, the seller is legally able to give you a real version of the item to replace the fake one. However, if they can’t provide a replacement, they’re legally required to give you a refund (up until 6 months after you paid for it).
If you paid for the item more than 6 months ago, you’re entitled to a part-refund depending on how much you’ve used the item and how long you’ve had it. It’s harder to do this after 6 months as you could be asked to prove that the item is a fake - try talking to the real brand and asking them to inspect it.
If the Seller Refuses to Give You a Refund
Sometimes sellers argue that items were obviously fake because they were very cheap. They can say you must have known it wasn’t the real thing and use that as a reason not to give your money back. However, they’re breaking the law by selling fake items and your legal rights still apply.
If You Paid by Debit Card
Contact your bank and say you want to use the ‘chargeback scheme’. If the item cost less than $100, you should contact your credit card company and say you want to use the ‘chargeback scheme’. If the item cost between $100 and $30,000, contact your credit card company and say that you want to make a ‘section 75’ claim to get your money back.
If You Paid Using Paypal
Use PayPal’s online Resolution Centre to report your dispute. You must do so within 180 days of paying.
Report the Seller to Trading Standards
Trading Standards looks into criminal activity and prosecute sellers and traders who break the law. You’re not legally obliged to report someone selling fake goods, but it might stop other people accidentally buying fakes from them in future.
REPORT THE SELLER FOR FRAUD
As well as reporting them to Trading Standards, you can also report the trader to Action Fraud. You’re under no obligation to do this, but they will register the trader on the national fraud database, which helps them understand the scale of fraud across the USA.
