bluebear837 aka Patrick Cheung sold "Frederic Fekkai" Hair mask with shea butter. His ad here said:
cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=004&ssp…

>>Hair Mask with Shea Butter
>>A rich, creamy hair treatment mask ideal for ultra-dry, thick or unruly hair (virgin or >>color treated). This intensive, treatment hydrates and repairs the hair with shea >>butter and macadamia nut oils.
>>This bottle is 2 oz. Get this fabulous product at a fraction of the retail price. This is a >>NO RESERVE auction. The picture is for reference ONLY. This auction does not >>come with the box or bottle. It comes packaged in a different bottle. THIS PRODUCT >>IS AUTHENTIC, I DO NOT SELL FAKE,OR IMITATIONS. CHECK OUT MY OTHER >>FABULOUS AUCTIONS TO SEE FOR YOURSELF. Serious bidders only. The >>winning bidder assumes all shipping and handling charges. Please ask all >>questions before bidding. This auction is being sold as is, no refunds. Thanks for >>looking and check out my store for more great deals.

His eBay product picture showed the product on the right only but in the larger, 5oz size.

I interpreted his ad to mean than instead of the 6oz tube, I’d be getting a different size.
Lots of eBay sellers show photos of another sized item than the one they are selling, because they get the photo from the manufacturer’s site.

I did not understand that he would be REMOVING the product from the other container, and REPACKAGING it into his own package. This package, on the left, has no label at all.

I have no idea if what he put it in is safe, or the real thing.

According to FDA rules this is not okay:
www.fda.gov/fdac/features/1998/398_cosm.html

>>But some regulations do apply to cosmetics. In addition to the FD&C Act, the Fair >>Packaging and Labeling Act requires an ingredient declaration on every cosmetic >>product offered for sale to consumers. In addition, these regulations require that >>ingredients be listed in descending order of quantity. Water, for example, accounts >>for the bulk of most skin-care products, which is why it usually appears first on these >>products.

>>Although companies are not required to substantiate performance claims or conduct >>safety testing, if safety has not been substantiated, the product’s label must read >>"WARNING: The safety of this product has not been determined."

The second problem is that Frederick Fekkai probably has no idea that it’s products are being sold in repackaged bottles.

I’ve notified Ebay, the FDA and Frederick Fekkai about this problem.

The seller, Patrick Cheung has sold at least 4 other bottles of this same item.

I also left negative feedback on his profile here:
feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&useri…
"HiddenScam:no-fekkai pkg.Actual Ship.67,Chrgd: .00, would not comb shippng."

And you can see here that he retaliated by leaving negative feedback for me here:
feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&useri…
"sellers beware, noob doesn’t read description fully , wants steals, not deals"

In addition to the problem where he is repackaging branded products and not letting people know, I had also asked, just after the auction if he would combine shipping.

He refused, saying that "ebay was for deals not steals".. in other words, if he combined shipping then he would not make enough from the Ebay sale. However, Ebay prohibits this practice and I told him that. But he still refused to allow me to buy two items and combine the shipping.

After receiving the product, I realized that he was lowballing what would otherwise be a nice product, by repackaging it, and then making up the Ebay fees and getting more profit through the shipping and handling charges (handling for him consisted of an unlined manila envelope.. and .64 of postage.

All of this is prohibited and combined with his abusive behavior, and retaliatory feedback, is a real problem.
