    Selling knock off products of name brands is illegal. Whether or not that site in particular is legit I have no idea.

    Terms of Service don't give you magical protection and allow you to break the law. The site is still selling knock offs of the real product which is fraud, trademark infringement etc. etc.

    Isn't selling fake goods, and using paypal for payments a bit dodgy?
