Victoria Secret’s Bra Seller Busted on eBay... and The Future of eBay

This is one wholesale source you may not want to use.

A few weeks ago I received an email from one of my readers asking where he could find wholesale sources for Victoria Secret products that he sees selling on eBay. I told him I didn’t know because Victoria’s Secret has very tight controls over their distribution.  Well now we know where they were coming from.

An eBay seller, with several eBay usernames was busted for selling stolen Victoria Secret Bras, panties and other lingerie items on eBay. The New York Post reported today that eBay seller, George Tutaya of Queens NY stands accused of selling over $80,000 worth of Victoria's Secrets underwear that he apparently received from a shoplifting ring.  Tutaya was arraigned on charges of possession of stolen property and, if convicted, faces a prison sentence of up to seven years.

"Trafficking in stolen goods on the Internet will no more be tolerated than fencing stolen property would be anywhere else," said Queens District Attorney Richard Brown.

Tutaya  used eBay names such as beautiques,  bestfordivas and shopforless2 and several PayPal accounts to market over 2,000 bras and other ladies undergarments on eBay. The New York Post reported that he was underselling Victoria Secret prices by a substantial margin. When police raided his apartment they found a large quantity of bras worth approximately $26,000.
