Help! Selling an item. Unsure if fake or not?

I'm selling an item. I bought it in good faith brand new and didn't question if it was real or not. To be honest its not a rolex or a Tiffany necklace so it didn't even cross my mind. I put it for sale on my local selling site and it went straight away. I was asked if it was genuine so I replied yes. But then that got the cogs in my brain whirring and after a bit of digging around I found that this particular item is regularly counterfeited.
I've looked online at videos and it appears to be genuine. However I do not want to rip anyone off or get into trouble. Does anyone have any experience as to whether I can get it verified by trading standards? I don't mind cancelling the sale but if I can find some way of veryfing the authenticity I'd have a happy customer and I'd sleep happy without worrying if I'll get my collar felt Grin

Did you buy from a reputable place?

No nicknack I'm a sucker who didn't even consider they could be fake. I don't think they are. All the info I've found online points to them being genuine. But now I'm selling them on I want to be 100% eric they aren't louboutins but thank you. I don't know whether trading standards can help?

Can you give us a clue as to what they are? Designer shoes? Trainers? Converse?

Well can you say what the item is? We might be able to help then.
