I bought over $900.00 worth of "stamped 14k" gold and watches off a goverment site on Ebay and they are all fake. I e-mailed them and they said items were sold "As Is", but I thought it was illegal to sell conterfit items. What can I do? Is there someone I can contact? Please!!!!!!!!

What they did was illegal. You will need to contact Ebay. Ebay has specific rules that say selling counterfeit items is prohibited.
Also, fire off a letter to Rolex and let them know what happened. If you do not get much out of Ebay, send Rolex another letter letting them know that Ebay is not doing anything about it.
A lot of companies spend a lot of money to promote their image and their trademark. They will do a lot to keep counterfeiters from ruining it. Ebay has already been threatened with lawsuits for not doing enough to stop some of the flagrent counterfeit items being sold on their site. Rolex will probably have an entire department devoted to shutting down these scammers. I looked on the Rolex site though. It is a monster that takes a long time to load and I could not find anything in the way of contact information. However, I did not look too hard. Maybe if you contact an authorized Rolex dealer, you can get some contact information on the company.

Unfortunately, the only thing that can be done is that the merchant is not allowed to sell anything else on Ebay. You could pursue the matter in small claims court, but the odds of you getting the money back in an an expiditious manner are slim to none. You could turn around and sell the gold and watches on Ebay, but that would give you bad karma. just remember this invaluable lesson next time and know that if it sounds way too good to be true then rest assured it is. Sorry for the loss man

Report me if you like for being a *****, I officially don't care but Nateena is a bloody liar. 4% of her answers are best answers. Never been given a best answer? Take a long walk off a short cliff you lying rat. But that was a fairly good joke. Didn't make me laugh but it was original.

You can tell ebay about it--if they misrepresented the item, ebay will not be happy with them. You can see if your credit card or pay pal will hold up their money. And, of course, leave bad feedback so that other people won't be scammed.

If you paid with a credit card like visa then you can get all your money back as visa has a no fraud policy for online purchases.
