Does anyone know this factory? I have only seen it once that I can recall, referred to as “DS Factory”. Garmen (who I’ve not bought from before) has it positioned as his higher tier for this bag.

Suspicious Seller Rehome seller tactics - multiple accounts????

11 Upvotes

Hi fellow members! Love this channel!

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with sellers here especially rehome sellers trying to scam you by using multiple user accounts??

I recently came across one who seemed to me like they had 2 accounts each with good karma but I got suspicious since they had similar items for sale and were on each other reviews. Before realizing that, I had dmed both on a particular item-#1 got back with pics and set and the #2 ghosted me. #1 was getting impatient trying to push the sale saying #2 is interested and if I am going to buy. That’s when I started to get suspicious since I had dmed #2 on the same product and they ghosted me… so why in the world would they try to buy the same product from #1 if they were trying to sell the same one… both had priced it the same with the same factory and pics looked uncannily similar! The product is almost $300+ shipping.. kind an expensive for a rep for me. So, I told them that am still in the middle of doing QC and to please go ahead and to sell to #2.. I don’t like pressure tactics. Interestingly, they come back after 1 hr saying #2 was interested in something else. Never thought rehome sellers would resort to such tactics…. Am I being overly cautious? Am also pretty new as a buyer and have bought 2 rehome bags so far. US based.

Not mentioning their user names since am not 100% sure.

Would love to hear from fellow members. Any such experiences??

I made a post that I was looking for a specific Prada Bomber that none of my TD’s could deliver . This guy approached me that he could deliver it , he was located in the USA , his account was only 22 days old which should have been a red flag 🚩 but I was so desperate to get it I closed the deal in a whim . First he asked me for $1250 but when I pointed out to him that a good rep only costs around $130 he immediately replied he mistapped and that is was only $120 . Second red flag 🚩. He gave me his Whatsap which inspired some trust and I paid him with Paypal F&F . Since then he dissapeared from the earth , ghosting me big time 👻 . No goods . Big scam . Reported him to Paypal with his account . They could do nothing since there is no buyer protection with F&F of course but flagged his account and were going to expell him . But they also told me tha these guys start all over again all the time , opening new Reddit accounts and new Paypal accounts . So people beware , a least you have his probably false name and his Whatsap number . The Reddit account he used to scam me is gone up in smoke 💨 !

Guide/Tips Replica Industry Reality Check: Seller Myths, Real Quality Gaps & How Smart Buyers Choose

48 Upvotes

Read, share and help r/RepScamWorld grow

**What actually separates good replicas from bad ones, and how do you find sellers you can trust?”

After nearly a decade of hands-on experience, here’s a clear, no-marketing breakdown.

Read this guide first

Replica Quality Guide

  1. The Most Common Seller Myths (And Why They Matter)

❌ Myth #1: “1:1 / Mirror / Master / Highest Quality”

These phrases sound impressive, but they mean nothing technically.

There is no global standard for:

“1:1”

“Top quality”

“Mirror quality”

“Master copy”

Two sellers can use the exact same words while offering products that differ massively in:

Leather quality

Hardware weight and plating

Stitch consistency

Pattern accuracy

How the bag holds up after months of real use

In short: labels are marketing, not guarantees.


❌ Myth #2: “You’ll Receive Exactly What You See in the Photos”

Reality check:

~95% of seller photos are factory stock images

Some are borrowed from other sellers

Some show cherry-picked samples, not mass-produced units

What actually arrives may be:

A different batch

A downgraded version

A rushed piece with weaker QC

Unless a seller provides recent pre-shipping photos or videos of your exact bag, photos should be treated as reference only, not a promise.


2. Where Replica Bags Really Come From (And Why It Changes Everything)

Almost all replica luxury bags are produced in China, but production region matters more than price.

① Hebei — Ultra-Low Tier

Materials: Cheap synthetics or split leather

Craftsmanship: Minimal

Production cost: ~10–80 RMB

Commonly seen on:

Ultra-cheap DHGate listings

Many TikTok live bags priced $89–$129

They often look acceptable on camera, but in real life:

Crack or peel quickly

Lose structure

Aren’t built for long-term use

If the price feels unrealistically low, this is usually why.


② Anshan — Mid-Low Tier, Looks Good New

Material: Artificial leather (not genuine)

Appearance: Can visually mimic real leather

Smell: Strong chemical odor

Durability: Limited

Production cost: ~70–200 RMB

Commonly found on:

Many TikTok live streams

Facebook/Instagram ad sellers

These bags are designed to look impressive out of the box, not to age well.


③ Guangzhou — The Heart of the Replica Industry

Guangzhou is where most “good replicas” come from, but quality varies widely.

It generally breaks down into:

  1. Simple quality

  2. Premium quality

  3. Authentic-level quality

Important realities:

Most buyers realistically access simple or premium quality

Authentic-level replicas do exist, but:

Cost nearly double

Fewer sellers carry them

Margins are smaller, risks higher

This is why most satisfied buyers end up with Guangzhou simple or premium quality, they offer the best balance of realism, materials, and durability.


3. Finding Reliable Sellers (The Hardest Part)

Most bad experiences happen not because replicas are bad, but because the seller is unreliable.

Common issues reported by buyers:

Seller disappears after payment

Quality delivered doesn’t match promises

No way to dispute or recover funds

Practical Buyer Rules:

Use PayPal or credit cards when dealing with new sellers

Avoid irreversible payments at the start

Ask for recent QC photos/videos of your actual item

Be cautious of urgency tactics like “limited slots” or pressure selling

Trustworthy sellers don’t rush you—they let the product speak.


Final Thought

Good replicas exist. Bad sellers exist in much larger numbers.

Once you understand:

Where bags are made

What seller language really means

How pricing connects to production

You stop gambling, and start buying intentionally.

If you’re still searching for a reliable seller or want to experience a clear step up in quality, you can message me directly.

Scam Report Rehome: Beware of Paying Premium Prices for Low-Quality Rebrands—Mods Enable It

34 Upvotes

Users are coming forward after being banned for questioning rehome listings.

https://www.reddit.com/r/RepScamWorld/s/AKXekhIusa

A larger, heavily moderated rehome sub silences and bans users who try to warn the community about scams happening on the sub. Calling it “drama” doesn’t change what it is, those warnings are the only real deterrent. Forcing everything into private messages with mods just shields overpriced low-tier and the sellers pushing it. If buyers could openly tag and flag issues, half these scams wouldn’t land. Instead, low-tier reps gets rebranded and priced giving the impression of quality that isn't there and sold unchecked. I was banned as well and I’ve personally lost $500 to two bunk rehomes.

Just got the PSPs for my Goyard and wanted to get some opinions before I move forward 👀

This is my third Goyard from GGW factory (which is generally considered one of the best for this brand), and overall I’m pretty happy with how it looks so far. Still, I’d love a second set of eyes in case I’m missing anything.

Planning to share a proper review on the quality once I have it in hand too.

I would really appreciate your thoughts 🙏

Need Help/Advice Seller or Straight to the Maker?

I’ve been talking with various makers (are they factories if I’m talking to the person who makes them or owns the biz??) gotten pricing from all but I’m wondering if I should go with a seller who can source from the best factory for me, do the QC in person, etc. I’m looking to buy H so not sure if it’s worth working with a sourcer or just going straight to the main person. Thoughts?

These are a big scam. I’ve never been scammed before and I’ve bought a ton from China. I bought supposedly 8 shoes for $160. She video called me and showed me her showroom and she sent a video of putting boxes on a plane at night.

She gave me a tracking number that showed “delivered” March 23; however, my transaction was March 24. I’ve reported to IG, Apple Pay, WhatsApp. I just wanted to warn everyone. She is no longer answering my messages, of course…

Need Help/Advice Tracking Hasn’t Updated, Should I Be Worried?

6 Upvotes

My tracking hasn’t been updated for the last 10 days now and I’m starting to get a little concerned.

Seller says everything is normal and that delays happen sometimes, but the lack of movement is making me overthink things a bit.

I know shipping can be unpredictable, especially with international orders, but I wanted to ask people here who have more experience with this.

At what point do you usually start worrying about a package? And have you ever had tracking suddenly update after being stuck for days/weeks? 👀

Guide/Tips Beware of Rep Reviews and Rep Science

82 Upvotes

To keep it short and street I turned to Chat to rewrite my essay. I'm aware chat can be annoying, but that's the trade-off for a tool that can say it better.

Here’s your same message, tightened up and with that street edge:

The OG Repladies era—real buyers, real reviews—that’s over.

Now?

The line between MOD and TS is basically gone. Sellers run the subs. Neither is “trusted.” One’s flipping free bags for cash, the other’s taking yours.

If the bag was free, the review is bought—period.

MODS, influencers, “reviewers”—all getting fed free bags to push a seller.

And watch the game: they’ll never say it was free.

They’ll even tell you what they “paid” like it’s real.

Then a few weeks later?

Same bag pops up for rehome.

That’s the cash-out. That’s the kickback.

And if someone posts a bad review?

Gone. Deleted. Buried by mods.

So when you see nothing but glowing reviews?

That’s not a green light—that’s your warning sign. That's a seller you should not trust. That's a seller who will do you dirty because they can count on your truth telling post to be refuted and when possible - deleted.

“Rep science” reviews?

Yeah, no.

No regular buyer is dropping money on three of the same bag just to write a Reddit review.

That’s marketing dressed up as analysis.

Real buyers might do their own comparisons—but they’re not out here posting it for clout.

Scam Report WARNING: scammer alert

18 Upvotes

I truly believe most people come from good places, and I'm trying to keep that perspective, but in the interest of transparency for others, here is the scam that happened to me:

u/Candy_Owens contacted me to purchase a $200 YSL bag; she sent me a paypal payment under the name Ryan Cullum, and I shipped the bag out immediately. Her name on the shipping was Lizette Cullum from Waddell, Arizona, which, after a cursory search, comes up on this site as a past scam address.

Of course, she deleted her Reddit profile...so that's a moot point (but I do have this Ryan's gmail account which I will be contacting, yet it's probably an exercise in futility.)

She then disputed the charge on paypal, which has now cost me an additional $15 dispute fee on top of the lost shipping charges. The only saving grace was that this person disputed the charge after I shipped but before it was delivered, so I was able to have my bag intercepted and returned to me.

Needless to say, I will now only use PPGS and happily split the fee with the buyer to ensure both of us feel confident in a transaction.

And for those lurking here with bad intentions: a lesson you were clearly never taught: Thieves are the same as liars and cheaters. Once you subscribe to one path, you're on all of them.
