Dude...
It took me 2 minutes of looking at all his tracktops he's sold to know they are fakes.
Not to mention, look at the name in his auction's photos: xizhen123
Take a look at his history and you can see where he has sold fake adidas.
Is it too much to ask you to spend 2 minutes to answer a stupid question before I put in two minutes? I don't mind helping out and want to assist helping all forum members out.... but if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck.... It's a duck.

I'm not sure why you're ranting at me - you could just ignore my post if it bothered you so.
I ran the guys name through search engine here and nothing came up. Not to mention he has a score of 77 with a 100% feedback score, which gives no clues to whether the dude is a crook or not.
I did see the name on the photos, but snatching pictures from others is commonplace on there and I didn't want to assume just because he's apparently Chinese that he'd be a fraud - so I asked on here to verify my suspicions.

But at @ same time battosai u have to use some common sense and help yaself alittle!!Look @ what he's sold and where he's from and not using his own pictures!!!
You already know that part of the world is a fakers paradise and that none of us bovver buying/consider buying from there.
Refer to shotta's how to spot fakes beginners guide and basic tips and you can't go wrong!!
There's nothing wrong with you asking m8 if your unsure but this site isn't ere just to say "fake" its to try educate people and its members and give them alittle knowledge about fakes so you can spot them for yaself and can warn others in future!! the more people who know wots dodgy and what isnt the better.
Hope that makes sense pokey
^^^^^^^^^THATS NOT A RANT AT YOU and thats basically what koft was saying

That's all good. I was basically trying to doubly verify my initial thought that he was fake, but his feedback is perfect and I didn't want to tar him just cos his name is Chinese (sounding.)
I have a genuine adicolor red tracky and the material etc in those pics looked like the same quality stuff mine's got, which made me unsure.
Better safe than sorry.
Cheers.

Feedback isn't always an ideal guide anyways, as more often than not people won't have a clue what they are getting is fake. Before I saw the light and joined this site I bought a pair of fakes off a guy, had 100% feedback through selling Adi Dasslers and all sorts (I was buying NBA's), none of which I knew anything about until a few folk set me right!
Also, that guy was selling various sizes of Ian Browns and RHCP's, which is a red flag too.

we could use a list of guidelines for newer members to read before they ask certain questions. Some things are really obvious, but only once you've been a member of the SSDB for a few months.
For instance, I could tell you the guy is selling fakes just from his name. In this PC world you would call me racist, but you're buying on ebay, not at the local shop. As a rule, I don't buy from anywhere east of Germany. Thus, I've only been burned once, but knew I was burned before the kicks even arrived because even though they were listed as being in the US, they got drop shipped from China.

That's very true, but before I got here it was one of, if not the only way (unless it's an obvious fake) to judge the seller and product before buying.
xizhenhuang is only selling 4 tops and a CK something or other.

No probs. I figured what I said wasn't so bad.

If a seller is in Hong Kong/China/Nigeria or some other notrious hotspot, I tend to agree with you. But if they base themselves in the UK, it's a little harder to tar them just for having a Chinese name.
If they hide their shipping thing with techniques like you mentioned above, then yea, you'll know you've been done, but if they send from the UK and I'm in the UK, I'm going to have a lot more faith, until the thing arrives and is a fake.
I feel you're stepping on a potential minefield there if I were to argue the point. No matter though, I do see the point you're making.
