There is a simple reason why people buy replicas of various things, including watches - and the main reason is the price. But I see big problem in buying such items, they need to pass customs and since you ship from Hong Kong ( if this is still the case ), you need to know that everything from China is checked on custom in EU. If custom find that it is a forgery they will seize item and buyer will have to pay the cost of destroying.
I am saying this just from the perspectives of the member states of the European Union and their customs, maybe it is much easier to sell replica watches in some other world countries.
https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/node/976_enYou're perfectly right there. Tons of items get seized on their way to EU.
But do you know what it is in %?
Nothing. Really close to nothing. As you can see here:
https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/China-EU_-_international_trade_in_goods_statistics#Manufactured_goods_dominate_trade_with_ChinaChina exports about 350 BILLIONS of € of goods. They seize 650millions each year which is... less than 0.2%. Of course the whole 350 billions of € of goods aren't fake but you really think that only 0.2% of this are counterfeit? I wouldn't dare to make a guess here but it would be something above 20% for sure.
There is a risk that the package gets seized on the way. Well you use an escrow so if the package is seized... it's our problem not yours. You pay in BTC and just give a shipping adress there is no link between you and the counterfeit. They seize the watch? We either send a new one or repay you.
Customs are our worry, not yours
