If you're lucky and your timing is right, you might even come across a great deal and possibly find a cheap pair of real Louboutins. Read through the tips below to learn how to find real Louboutins on eBay.

• Pictures: When shopping on eBay for Christian Louboutin shoes, pay close attention to the photos provided from the seller. Since visual observation is key in telling if a pair of Louboutins are real or knock-offs, you'll need to examine the images thoroughly. If you can, enlarge the pictures and zoom in so you can see all the details. If the seller has blurry pictures or you can't see the detail, request they send you additional pictures or have them post more on their actual auction. If they won't or say they can't steer clear of this auction!

• What to Look For: When inspecting the images, you should look closely at the soles to make sure just the underneath is the signature red. The red leather soles should also be bright and glossy. If the sole's red is visible on the side, its a fake. The knockoff Louboutins made in China have this flaw. The insole should appear completely smooth, free from any ridges, bubbles or folds. The stitching on real Christian Louboutin shoes are immaculate and the color will match the shoes. Louboutin shoes will usually have the "vero cuoio" leather stamp which proves the soles are authentic Italian leather.http://forum.purseblog.com/louboutin-shopping/cl-authenticity-faq-what-not-to-look-for-493407.html New Louboutins will come in a box with a red dustbag. The box will have the Christian Louboutin signature and the word "Paris" in the lower right hand corner.

• Sellers: In general, steer clear of new sellers without feedback. Also avoid sellers who offer Christian Louboutin shoes at an extremely low price. You may also want to avoid international sellers and those who do not provide contact information.http://forum.purseblog.com/louboutin-shopping/authenticate-these-louboutins-469538.html
