Next product: a fake legit checker that produces legit-checker style prose to fool bank clerks into authorising refunds for non-fakes. This would solve the "having to pay for stuff" problem. Huge market.
Yeah, the bit I missed is why paying them 60 dollars for an official looking "I was scammed" certificate actually helps with the refund process.
Also, my next thought was that if you actually wanted to buy replicas, and were okay with gambling your money, it would be possible to buy the fake that pretends to be real, and then get refunded, you get a decent fake for free (minus risking your money).
I guess you'd need to create new accounts as the pattern would become obvious over time, but I like the idea of fakers, and platforms that don't prevent it effectively paying the price rather than dumb consumers, especially since it reduces the utility of online shopping for me.
You buy a pair of real shoes. You pay me to give you a certificate saying they are fake (even though they are real). You show the certificate and get a refund, and keep the real shoes.
