Our investigation resulted in the bogus versions - which come from China and cost as little as £10 - being axed from the website
EBay is blocking sales of fake versions of the new 150th anniversary Scotland football shirt. The counterfeit jerseys are available on the auction site just weeks after a Record probe discovered thousands of fakes for sale online.
The genuine dark blue tops retail at £70 for kids and £90 for adults. But now more Chinese replicas, which are still being sold on website DHgate, have shown up on ebay for just under £30. An Adidas spokesperson said previously, when made aware of the tops on DHgate and AliExpress: “We are aware of the issue and will be investigating. As always we work hard to address any incidents of counterfeiting to make sure fans are always getting genuine Adidas products that have been extensively tested and created using premium materials.
An eBay spokesperson said: “eBay proactively blocks millions of counterfeit items from being listed every year. We use multiple layers of technology, professionally trained eBay investigators, and buyer protection programs to ensure goods sold on our platform are authentic.
