HonestMall - the Fashionista's (and Fashionisto's!) eBay
Perhaps you've visited the folks over at DenimBlog and HonestForum via our blog roll or some of our blog posts for some fashion advice or the scoop on the latest trends.
There is another really cool part of their website called HonestMall. You know how if you go into eBay and search for designer clothes, you end up with a gazillion results loaded with knock-offs and scams? Well, on HonestMall, it's a much smaller scale, and they've taken precautions to make sure that all of the listings are authentic.
The mall charges a one time $10 entry fee to keep the scammers out, and there are brand managers that review the posted items to make sure they're real. They dig through to make sure that the seller is a real person, that they have a high feedback rating, where the item came from, and they even comb over high-res photos to confirm stitching and tag details. No more squinting at your monitor to figure out if that sexy Juicy Couture sweatshirt or that cute Kate Spade bag is fake! Some sample brands you might find on there include Diesel Jeans and Sevens as well as Louis Vuitton, Dolce and Gabbana, Manolo Blahnik, and more.
They are also working on integration with myspace and facebook and are building a mini version to work on your phones and blackberries. The best part? They've started a charity too and a portion of all their revenue goes to the poor. Stay tuned for more info as we collaborate, and remember to shop safely! If you're ever suspicious, remember to have a look at our blog post about how to spot fake premium denim so you don't make an expensive mistake!

Yeah there are so many fakes on ebay also.
It is good to see someone is paying attention to it all. Here is an article on 'How to spot a fake Armani Dress Shirt'

This has been one of my favorite fashion sites since I joined over 2 years ago. As one of the Mods, I am extremely proud of how hard we work in keeping fakes out of the HM. New members are always welcome! :)

What a BRILLIANT idea! As a long-time eBayer the fraud problem has always been a concern. There are some categories like designer clothes or jewelry that I won't even shop in because it's gotten so bad. Lots of luck and thanks for this great post!

Honestforum is a great site! The mods and members are really helpful and there are truly great deals on designer clothing in the mall there. Its nice to be able to browse through the items without wondering if they are authentic or not. Kelly and the other mods do a really good job monitoring items for sale.
