Oh Yes! Lots of fake silver on EBay.
I sell true silver on Ebay and am fed up of being classed with the many crooks! Not just China but also U.K sellers. EBay turn a blind eye. Its a big issue, too big for me to fight. I always test purchases now and have found most "Too good to be true items" are too good to be true and are shocking fakes. I leave FB to warn other sellers , only to find it removed by EBay
Not just Ebay, it's possible from anywhere you purchase jewelry
I'm assuming...it means FAKE...as I bought a .925 CAL "sterling silver" bracelet from Ebay and was told it wasn't real silver. Just my 2 cents...
its sterling silver
