    Even the best of us get duped.... Buyers and Sellers alike.

    With the growth of the internet, fake merchandise has increased tenfold; especially fake designer goods. Fake no longer means poor quality. Actually in some cases, the fakes look the EXACT same as their authentic cou
    According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product
    nterparts.

    Marketplaces such as Overstock and eBay have been cluttered with fakes for the last couple of years. They are taking further action to to put a stop to the peddling of this merchandise that has been floating around on their sites for years. More and more sellers ar

    Examples of combination products may in
    being suspended and given the "boot" from these as well as other sites. Some sellers have been removed unfairly, and some finally received what they deserved.

    If you are serious about your internet dealings, there are 10 rules you should always apply before purchasing design
    lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

    r merchandise online. These rules are extremely simple and easy to remember. They can save your business as well as save you from the heartache of a cheesy fake.

    IDENTIFY FAKE DESIGNER BAGS

    1. USE COMMON SENSE!!! If it is too good to be true, then it normally is. For example
    here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe
    LV items are NEVER offered at wholesale prices! Unless the LV bag is secondhand, gently used, or someone's dective bag, you should beware. If some one is selling a BRAND NEW LV at a super low price, chances are it is fake. There are exceptions, but as a rule LV does not resell
    d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations.

    2. If you are a seller, KNOW YOUR BRANDS!!! Research it before you sell it. No one wants to hear the excuse, " I did not know". Researching your items, will save you alot of problems. For example, Chanel sunglasses are extremely difficult to purchase in the exce
    ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc
    s market. Normally, 90% of these sunglasses are fakes. Brands such a Gucci, Dior, Armani, Versace, etc, are alot easier to find in the excess market (this does not mean that these other brands have not been counterfeited).

    3. QUALITY CONTROL!!! Sometimes, there are just blata
    easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi
    tly, cheap knockoffs that can be spotted a mile away. On the contrary, there are some knockoffs that look so good that you will never be able to tell the difference. With that known, learn what to look for. The best thing to do if you are not completely comfortable, is to simp
    nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically

    and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ
    und..... smell the bag. If you happen to purchase a bag from some one that has a return policy, take it to a Sales associate at the local department store (don't tell them where you got it, eBay and other competing sites is a turn off for sales associates) and ask them if it i
    ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi
    authentic ( tell them it was a gift or you purchased it online).

    4. The Price. Common Sense should tell you that you don't get something for nothing. The initial price of the merchandise should tell you alot about the item. For example, if you find a brand new bag that retai

    5. Research the Seller. One rule of business is you should know or get to know who you
    dd to the challenges in developing combination products:

    Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
    Which combination prod
    re buying from. The best way is to visit their Internet site or view their sales history. Check their feedback. Google them. Ask them questions. If their merchandise is what they say it is, they should have nothing to hide.

    6. Paperwork. I am referring to Receipts, Sanitized

    Which therapeutic categories to select?
    Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients?
    Do combin

    Meaning there is a trail of invoices from the original trademark owner or authorized reseller. These invoices should specify exactly what was purchased with the style number and brand name or trademark written fully on it.

    7. U.S. Custom and Import Laws. It is completely with
    t?

    As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel
    n your rights to import authentic merchandise from non-US domiciled brands and re-sell them, within certain limitations. It is not permissible to import US domiciled brands such as Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren in the US with out the permission of the respective brands. Rese
    ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality.

    Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust
    rch these laws.

    8. Purchase samples. Purchasing small lots will be helpful to you as a seller if you are trying out a new supplier. Do not let the pressure you into purchasing a large lot. You may be disappointed.

    9. READ. Please make sure that you fully read the listing of
    y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products

    10. Use credit cards as forms of payment. Credit cards are safer for buyers becau
    elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements.

    Companies that provide selfless information through particip
    e they protect you. These payments are much better than wire transfers. Until you get to know your supplier or seller, you should always use a safe form of payment. There's always a paper trail with credit cards which enables you to keep records and file chargebacks if need be
