re EEE, i assume you are referring to ebay purchases. FYI, ebay has a dispute resolution in place, where you can raise a dispute in that event. It applies not just for jerseys, but for all other goods as well. Its unfair to generalise trading on internet as "unsafe" just because of possibility of fraud (i am not saying there is none, in fact i acknowledge there are fraud on the internet). But it would not be fair to legitimate sellers plying their trade there. Caveat Emptor (doctrine of Buyer Beware) applies even for offline transaction, where ppl can put up legitimate stocks up front and sell you fakes (ala DVD stalls all over the palce). Which is why it is important to do all you humanly can to check before purchase. And in event of fraud, to report the same for dispute resolution so that others would not fall prey to the same person.

In Ebay, do check seller's feedback (this is one very useful feauture of ebay) before committing to a trade, and also be a respnsible buyer by leaving accurate feedback for others

re orangetribal, you can consciously choose to buy fakes, thats your choice. I think it is unfair for you to judge other's choice when you yourself do not like others to judge yours. Whether it is a rip-off is also subjective. If buyers feel price is unfair, they can choose not to buy the kits, and send a message across to the clubs / manufacturers.

But purchasing fakes does not benefit anyone except the fakers. Buying original kits, will directly benefit the club you support. Yes, they get richer bla bla, but aint that what you would want of your club? For it to grow and prosper and be able to afford good players and improve the squad?

But anyway, like i said, if you consciously made your choice, that fine (your choice is fine, that is. It is still an illegal trade-mark infringing act by the fakers). It is a different story if one gets conned into buying fakes which is being passed off as real goods. Thats what we do not condone.
