As far as I know, we are not allowed to use "Tiffany" on Bidorbuy, as it is a registered trade mark.

Perhaps the seller has sole trading rights in SA?

 

Hopefully BoB or Admin will check this out for us all.

I don't think the seller has sole trading rights in SA Lilly. Look at the item description. They can't guarantee it's solid 925 sterling silver. .

Some of the overseas suppliers advertise their goods as Tiffancy & Co, Gucci, etc....designs, so I'm thinking this is where they get their descriptions. It's just directly copied from the supplier. Many sellers on BoB buy overseas, and some really believe that they are buying the genuine article. Whether right or wrong, sellers are doing anything for a sale. Some really don't know better, and think that this is the "real" thing. Ignorance perhaps? What worries me is the wording :"We do not guarantee the material as solid sterling silver, but "925" stamped. If the seller knew his product, he would know whether this was genuine sterling silver. All my items are tested on arrival before it being advertised as 925 sterling silver....stamped or not, so that my buyer will know what they are purchasing.
