This shows that the problem of counterfeit goods on Taobao platform has attracted global attention. Although Taobao does not produce fakes, in reality, Taobao's profit model is closely tied to fakes. Many small online shops, under the banner of purchasing luxury goods overseas, actually sell so-called "high imitation" and "A goods" like Pindong Minghuo.com.
On Taobao, Hermes platinum bags that have to wait for several years can be seen everywhere, with prices ranging from several hundred yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. Each platinum bag is declared as "genuine purchasing", and the purchasing places are French, American, Japanese, China, Hongkong and other countries and regions. A reporter entered the keyword "Hermes Purchasing" in the search bar of Taobao. The results show that there are 1.35 million pieces of treasures for sale, and hundreds of Taobao stores are doing Hermes purchasing.
Patrick Thomas, CEO of Hermes, once publicly stated: "80% of the goods sold in the name of Hermes on the Internet are fakes." However, judging from the purchase volume of Taobao stores, this remark did not reduce Hermes' purchasing business. In a diamond-grade online shop in Paris, France, there are many Hermes platinum bags on its sales list, and hundreds of thousands of platinum bags are almost sold in a "second shot". Within a month, this store sold dozens of platinum bags.
In a purchasing online shop of "duty-free counters in Europe and America", the reporter found that there are only 66 Hermes handbags, and the highest price of a bag is 603,000 yuan. In another online shop called Daigou in Japan, tens of thousands of Hermes platinum bags are "available with the order" and there is no "difficult to order".
How to identify the authenticity of online luxury goods?
First, don't buy "luxury goods" with particularly large sales.
Second, the price is particularly low, so we must be vigilant.
Third, it can provide genuine service addresses for counters, and all products that are guaranteed nationwide are genuine.
