First I would like to say that you have an awesome board. I didn't know about it until last night when I was performing a search. I did go through the rules and I hope the post that I'm about to make will not violate board policy. If it does, please let me know and I will modify or delete it.
This is a copy of entire thread about a seller who sells fake high end cosmetics on ebay and her own website. Ebay removed the trhead but did nothing to the seller. After a long hiatus, the seller is back to selling items full force and people need to be warned so they will not get taken.
Here is the original thread from Ebay:

i was looking on google looking for some info on how to spot fake mac, and one of the search results i clicked on led me to this site
http://www.ioffer.com/i/MAC-ROSE-PIGMENT-BRAND-NEW-IN-BOX-HOT-ITEM-14051923
on that page a seller by the name of mamasmarket2 posted this:
"I am looking for a wholesale supplier of Mac cosmetics. I would need to buy 500 to 1000 items per month. I do not want cosmetic bags, brushes, or applicators. I would need eyeshadows, refills, lip gels, lipsticks, liners for lips and eyes, powder, foundation, mascara, nail polish, etc. I do not care if the items are fake as long as they look real. For full size unboxed items I would pay $4 each, for full size boxed items $5 each."
i cant believe someone would even say that, and then i started thinking what if this person is selling on ebay also so i googled the name mamasmarket2 and sure enough they do sell on ebay. under the name awholesalecosmeticssource.
is the world becoming so morally bankrupt that people are willing to scam others on products (the real brand name products)that only cost around $20 anyways. wtf?

40% of all MAC items on eBay are fake. There are hundreds of MAC brush "sets" that are absolutely fake and are sold every day by people thinking they are real. There are dozens of sellers from Hong Kong & Thailand selling MAC eyeshadow sets and putting real MAC names on them. These fake sellers are getting very smart and the items are 99% the same, hard to tell by even me sometimes (I own every MAC product!). Only by from sellers with a ton of feedback....DO NOT BUY FROM NEW SELLERS or Sellers from Thailand/Hong Kong without proof of authenticity!

I've had dealings with her and she is a big time Fraud. Avoid her like the plague unless you too want to get ripped off. If you ask her a question, bid on one of her auctions or win an auction, she adds you to a bulk mailing list to solicit sales outside of ebay for her fake junk. She also has a store on ecrater. The link is: http://namebrandcosmetics.ecrater.com/

I have bought from http://namebrandcosmetics.ecrater.com a ton of times and NONE of the items were fake. I know this for a fact because I took them into a department store and asked. I bet you didn't know that she does NOT sell Mac! I asked her about the Mac post and she said she posted that ad because she wanted to catch and turn in the people that are selling fake Mac cosmetics.
So you all are very very wrong! Maybe you should find out the facts before you accuse someone!

Christine, do you really think people are as stuid as you are? wholesale_makeup, mamasmarket2, awholesalecosmeticssource, http://namebrandcosmetics.ecrater.com, and a ton of other alisis are all the same fradulent seller named Christine Bernstine. She can't even be honest in her profile which is why she removed her picture and replaced it with some random stranger. While it is an improvement over what CB actually looks like, the new picture of a random stranger really isn't anything to brag about.
CB and her multiple alisis not only solicit but also knowingly sell fake products from all the major cosmetic lines. The chanel perfumes for example are knockoffs she purchased from China.
She doesn't limit to herself to selling fake cosmetic and perfume items either. Here's a link to her purchasing fake receipts to sell her knockoff purses, sunglasses and wallets to unsuspecting buyers as authentic:
http://www.ioffer.com/offer_transactions/show/827303
She was trying to pawn of some fake Lancome Juicys a few months back that were so bad that they weren't even the color they should have been. The originals are pink. Her's were clear. She didn't remove the auctions until she was reported to Lancome.
You're claim about not selling MAC at all is also an outright lie. I can easily find at least 100 auctions in which you defrauded buyers by pawning off your fake MAC items on them. I can also locate at least a dozen plus links to various message boards where you openly seek fake items. I'll gladly post all the links on here for the entire world to see if that's what it takes to get you to stop.
You can change your username all that you want. But no matter what you call yourself, one thing can be certain, which is once a fraud, always a fraud.
In conclusion, we do have the facts straight Christine. We know that you are a big, fat liar who knowingly rips people off. I'm very surprised that you haven't been arrested yet. But I guarnatee if you continue ripping people off like you do and you will be.

Here's another example of her soliciting fake MAC items:

This is a link to where she purchased 400 fake MAC products from someone in Thiland a few months ago:
http://www.ioffer.com/offer_transactions/show/941103
This is the link to that sellers feedback:
http://www.ioffer.com/ratings/char_lotte
She purchased another 100 fake MAC items from a seller in China just last week:
http://www.ioffer.com/offer_transactions/show/1649687
Hope she gets burned with this deal so she doesn't rip off even more people. Looks like she might since the seller is no longer registered:
http://www.ioffer.com/ratings/dreamfuture2008
As far as her selling fake MAC items, you can just google any of her multiple ids and find hunderds of auctions. Here's a link to just a few of her many ids:
http://contact.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ReturnUserIdHistory&requested=wholes ale_makeup
You can also try any of her multiple email addresses. If you can't find them, let me know and I will post those as well.
This isn't the only forum that she has been called out. Here's a link to another board:
http://www.honestforum.com/517681-post6.html

Not only does she sell fake items, she doesn't actually have most of the items she sells. She gets them dropshipped from other fraudlent sellers like herself. Which means that her lines about "just receiving another pallet" are also BS.
Finally, in response to cheebdragon comment: "if your going to lie you could at least put a little effort into it"
Because shes simply not intelligent enough. If she were, she would know that nothing that you do on the WWW is private. You can find out just about anything on everyone by doing a simple search. If she isn't swift enough to buy under different ids, she wouldn't be intelligent enough to post under a different id either. Another reason is because she registered under a different ID a few months ago for the sole reason of leaving retalitory FB for someone that left her negative feedback. The other seller had the feedback sucessfully removed. Ebay banned that user id and also blocked wholesale_makeup from creating any additional ids in the future.
I'm sure that she will try to have this entire post deleted and I hope she does to. Since ebay will need to review it first, they will see that she is nothing but a fraud and finally give her the boot for good!
