got the print today. Im afraid its a fake. Just a large photocopy. I own a large print shop and collect obey art, so for me it was apparent right away. How would you like to handle this?

WTF is this about?!?!?! Anybody ever dealt with this guy before?
Had to deal with a similar situation but with a durn t-shirt, dude received and said it was a fake and I originally got the shirt straight from the owner of the company.
Sorry you have to deal with this sort of shite.

Whatever with that. First I have yet to see a fake Obey print (knock on wood). Second, why would you counterfeit World police, just saying. Third, I looked at the auction, that print looks legit to me. If you sent him what is in that picture, it is totally legit. I think he should reevaluate his "large print shop" experience and his "obey collection" as a whole. A screen print looks nothing like a photocopy.

Def the print that was in the pictures.
I don't have the time, resources or artistic talent to make a fake and then perfectly forge a signature. I can barely write my own name!!!!
And you're right! Why counterfeit World Police! It's not a knock 'em down gotta have it image...

That's really smeared that he would claim it to be a fake print. Email him a copy of your Obey confirmation proving it's not fake.
Or just go with the refund minus shipping method. you lose the fees but you might be able to claim them back via ebay somehow (never had this happen to me before).
Make sure if you have him send it back he doesn't send you a fake and keep your legit one, maybe he's running a scam or something. Sending him your confirmation would only prove that you bought one, not that you shipped a real one. Bummer no matter what happens, it's becoming harder for me to trust people every day when I hear about BS like this. So what happens if he sends you back a photocopy and claims that's what he got from you?!

True, he's already given me probably cause:
I own a large print shop and collect obey art, so for me it was apparent right away.
I don't have the most feedback on ebay, could just be trying to take advantage.
I don't have any selling feedback on eBay, and barely any buying feedback, either. That'd be cold if he's just pushing you around! Even if he has a shiesty print shop, he could make an OK bootleg easily if he has your legit copy to work with.
I'd maybe message him back and tell him straight up that you bought it and received it straight from the Obey website and there's no way the print you sent him is a fake, then see what he says back, how much time do you have? Does eBay have a time limit to work out issues with people before he can contact eBay to get the upper hand? Maybe you should contact eBay right away to tell them you think you're getting jerked around. I'm not sure what I'd do if I was in your shoes.
Whatever happens, I hope you get treated fairly in the end!

already gave him the bought straight from obey biz. Waiting to hear more back...
Dude what is this guy talking about? durn Pirates! Also, word to the wise, never leave feedback until the buyer has left you feed back. People are douchebags.
