Fake Paco Rabanne One Million? Look here...

Thread Starter 
Ordered a bottle of Paco Rabanne One Million from a reputable seller (or so I thought) on eBay back in mid-June. Haven't worn it since I purchased it, but I just found out it is a fake. First off, there' s a #2 on the bottom of the bottle. Secondly, the juice is very weak and seems very watery. Thirdly, the sprayer came through the opening of the bottle. Fourthly, the "gold" finish on the top of the bottle is wearing off. Here it is in all of its glory











Don't have a picture of the #2 on the bottom of the bottle, but it's definitely there. This guy on eBay has a 100% rating but he also sells Chanel No. 5 on there for around $50 and a few people have returned them and received a refund. Interesting... what do you all think?

Don't have the box. Bottom just has a #2 on it. I know the real ones do not have any numbers etched into the black part of the bottle.

I'd say contemplate asking for a refund.. don't send the item back though.

If you are not satisfied, hopefully you can get your money back. Just curious why you have waited this long.

I'm with hednic on this one. WHy have you waited this long? I know if I buy off of Ebay the first thing I do is check to see if it's authentic and then I spray the sprayer to maake sure all is well and then the overall scent. I hope you can get your money back.

I'm pretty sure you're stuck with it...it's been too long to file a dispute.

Don't really care about getting my money back. I purchased it in June and just tested it when I got it. Haven't worn it since. So I brought it back out yesterday and that's when I spotted it. Oh well!

Well, it's definitely a fake (even the detail of the writing on the bottle is bad).
