Don't feel bad, man. I'm sure you aren't the only one who's gotten the shaft.
About 3 years ago, I bought a t-shirt off Ebay which turned out to be a fake. Cheap silkscreen done in some dude's basement...
I went back to the original ad and noticed it did not say that the item was "authentic", thus I left it and did not follow up. Besides, the item was only about $20. Not worth the effort.
Now when I bid on something, I make sure the ad says "100% authentic" or I don't bid. Be wary of where the item is coming from too. Anywhere in Asia raises a red flag with me!
Good luck, I'm interested in seeing if anyone has any experience on this.
