Please be very careful when buying Uggs on eBay... In fact, be very careful when buying Uggs anywhere that's not a physical shop that you can see the boots in.
While there are some good, legitimate places to buy them, we have had problems buying them both from eBay and from online stores.
We've been caught out on eBay by somebody with real pictures, but when we received them, they turned out to be fake, poorly produced knock offs. Then again, we've also had a real pair as well.
We've had a similar problem when buying from an online store - they always described them as Ugg boots, but when finally received they have been a different brand.
Part of the problem comes from the fact that Ugg is both a brand and a style of boot, so sellers are able to cleverly word their advertising around selling the Ugg boot style, so avoid getting into trouble.
Lots of designers are not allowing their goods to be sold on bay due to people selling fakes stating they are geniune.
