STOP BUYING THE FAKE RAY BANS ON HERE 

NWT
Ray-Ban

US$1

Size

Not for sale

Like and save for later
I've worked with sunglasses for a very long time and am fairly fluent in determining authenticity of various brands of designer sunglasses. If there's a pair of sunglasses someone is selling and you are unsure of authenticity please tag me and I will do my best to give you an accurate answer regarding authenticity. IF YOU TAG ME IN A LISTING FROM A PROFILE THAT HAS DOZENS OF SUNGLASSES WAYYYY UNDER RETAIL I WILL NOT RESPOND. THEY ARE FAKE!

shannnyy
shannnyy Hey so I feel weird tagging this person but their account is linda09s could you check out the pair she just listed? I just bought them before I saw this but I am afraid they may not be authentic? They look it! Thank you so much!!!
May 19Reply
akaplan93
akaplan93 @shannnyy I unfortunately don't believe they are. There should be a small engraving of "RB" on the side of the lens I don't see and also all of the flash lenses come with matte hardware not shiny which in the picture the hardware looks shiny to me. They seem like a decent fake but I'm almost positive they're not real.

shannnyy
shannnyy @akaplan93 thank you so much. I realized after with the price so low... Couldn't have been real. I'd rather put the money towards authentic ones. Thank you for your help! 😎
May 19Reply
akaplan93
akaplan93 @shannnyy I totally agree! Go to a department store when they're 25% off. They'll still be around $100 but definitely worth the little bit of extra money :)

1707resale This is awesome, I recently "scored" on a pair of MK but I'm now thinking they are a replica 😖😩 can I upload a pic and have you take a look for me?
May 19Reply
akaplan93
akaplan93 @iheartbrenda you definitely can. I'm not as familiar with them because they switched over vendors recently and depending on when they were made they would look different.

shannnyy Definitely do not buy from @linda09s they most certainly are fakes!

akaplan93 @shannnyy I saw you were attempting to buy again and I hope you didn't! Lol

akaplan93 @shannnyy yeah unfortunately they take quite some time to take action but hopefully her account will be shut down soon. I reported her as well.

goldenpolkadot @akaplan93 great idea Amanda! I wkd for an optical for 15 yrs and im pretty familiar with Authentic designer shades too. I see WAAAY to many knock offs here and hate to think not only are ppl getting ripped off but the thought of the harm on the eye from inadequate protection is really disturbing!😁😡👎🏼

akaplan93
akaplan93 @partymk999 yes, girl! So glad someone else understands. I wish people would be more careful. Sometimes I just want to comment on the blatantly fake listings letting people know they're not real but I don't want to ruffle too many peoples' feathers haha

goldenpolkadot
goldenpolkadot @akaplan93 im with ya! I just report them cuz if we comment in ppls closets it creates drama and then we r the ones getin trouble. I use to sell younique 3d mascara here n ppl were selling knockoff for waaaaay cheaper than mine. They were getting eye infections nd losing lashes. I put warning listing in my closet to help. Hey we do what we can rite? 🌹

sheeohwits @akaplan93 hi! I just bought a pair of Ray-Bans and they look/feel legit, but wanna make sure they definitely are before I release funds. Don't wanna offend the seller though. Any chance I could upload a few pics and either post/email them to you? Thanks! ☺️

oneubauer
oneubauer I just bought a pair from sammi_324 but haven't received them yet. The picture looks good to me, but I always think it's a bit skeptical when people are selling multiple pairs. Please let me know what you think!
Aug 11Reply
akaplan93
akaplan93 @oneubauer like you said it's so hard to tell with those but when someone is selling them in bulk for a discounted rate lower than a normal seller would I would lean towards them not being real. They tend to be decent fakes but the color is always off a bit. Like if you look at the blue they always sell its darker in color than the typical blue mirrored ray bans. Same goes for the ones you got, it's slightly off in color than the ones sold in department stores. Sorry girl :(
Aug 11Reply
oneubauer
oneubauer You're right the color just doesn't look right and it seems too cheap to be real ones. Hopefully poshmark will let me send them back or cancel the order! Thank you so much!

blairesuzanne
blairesuzanne Hi! ☺️ I recently bought all black Ray Bans from twix700, and I haven't gotten them yet. She did say on the description that she didn't know if they were authentic or not, and I still did decide to purchase them. But I am curious if they are, in fact, real or not. Thanks!
Oct 11Reply
akaplan93
akaplan93 @blairesuzanne I can't tell from those pictures. There should be an rb engraved on the right lens by the hinge and also rb on the inside of the nose pads as well as style information on the inside of the arms. When they arrive you can post pictures and I'd be happy to help you :)

akaplan93
akaplan93 @maggiepedersen I'm inclined to say they're not authentic because if you look at the pictures where they're "proving authenticity" they have a totally different background than the other pictures. I also don't think I've ever seen that style made in that color. Comes in the different purple hues but not that. Hope that helps!
Jun 03Reply
maggiepedersen
maggiepedersen @akaplan93 Wow thank you so much!!! I thought the color would be cool! That's why I would even consider buying off here! But your right they normally have he light pink

akaplan93 @annagraceh19 from what I can tell they look fine but you would have needed additional pics of inside nose pieces and the rb etched into lens to know for sure. But I'm 98% sure they're good anyway

Jun 25Reply
akaplan93
akaplan93 @mayra319 depends on the style. A lot of the hardware should be matted instead of shiny on the ones she's selling. Also many of the aviators she's selling aren't even real colors ray ban manufactures

maddylunde
maddylunde hey! i just bought some sunglasses from fashion_goods & i cannot tell if they are real or not. They have all the packaging and etchings but feel pretty lightweight & i didn't know if that was what they were designed to feel like. i ordered the round metal 3447 112/z2 in the matte gold with pink flash lenses from her. thank you!
Jul 01Reply
akaplan93
akaplan93 @maddylunde I cannot tell from her profile because those are all stock photos. I would have to assume yours are fake. I would never buy from someone selling multiples like that at such a low price that's a major red flag.

akaplan93 @ana_3713 it's already in this comment feed and I always refer people to it. If someone is selling that many pair for that cheap it's a dead giveaway that it's fake. Also the shape, quality of the hardware. I can see her mirrored ones have shiny hardware it should 100% be matte.
