Well, honestly, I get what you mean as they're the actual prices that are selling at any SE authorised dealers so sometimes we are left wondering whether such earphones selling here more than half price here are genuine ones or not.

Hitting the report button might not be effective because it's hard to determine whether it's real or fake and secondly, most sellers just use pictures taken from the SE website, you don't get to see the picture of the actual thing so nobody will know it's real or not unless we have a special team to probe the sellers by pretending to be a buyer so that they're caught red handed but sometimes it is easier said than done. It's sometimes hard for us to prove that the items sold here are fakes in order for the mods to take action.

Maybe someone can suggest what's the best way to tackle this problem.

For this situation, if the seller says full refund if item is found to be a fake, then go for it. There are many honest sellers doing that as an assurance that you're getting a genuine thing.

If they beat around the bush regarding the warranty thingy, just stop replying and move on to the next seller or you may report to the mods if they're selling a fake stuff.

That's a good suggestion Goldfries, we can add a sticky too for all members to refer to.
