It's one of the most hotly anticipated high street designer collaborations of the year, predicted to sell out in record time.

Now items from Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing's collection for H&M are being advertised on eBay a week before the collection even hits shops.

Fashion fans who are eager to secure some of the most sought-after pieces from the collection face paying more than double the price if they buy from an online seller.

Kendall Jenner is pictured in an ad for the Balmain x H&M campaign, modelling a green sequin dress which goes on sale in store and online on 5 November for £119.99

Kendall's dress has appeared on eBay where it's listed for £423.45, more than double the retail price, plus postage and packaging

So called 'fashion flippers' buy items in bulk and then list them online at hugely inflated prices. And they are set to make a killing from the much-hyped range.

One of the biggest mark-ups is on a green sequinned tunic dress, modelled by Kendall Jenner in the ad campaign for the collection.

Although shoppers will be able to snap it up for a relatively reasonable £119.99 when it goes on sale next week, it's has been advertised on eBay at £423.45 by an American seller.

Kylie Jenner shows us how amazing the Balmain x H&M collection is going to be when she rocks this early released piece. This high street and high fashion collaboration is one of the most anticipated events this fall.

The Californian born starlet made sure to turn heads in a sparkly embellished dress from Balmain's collaboration with H&M. We're all for a bit of glitz so we love this uber shiny number and while it may be super short, the high neck and long sleeves keep it on the side of demure. Can you imagine the queue to get your hands on this? Start camping out now because it won't be out til November 5th.

So in the meantime check out the full Balmain line (right at Barney's) or get the look for less with our edit of similar sequinned looks below.

Pair yours like Kylie with some thigh high suede boots to bring out the flush velvet of the dress or go for some classic pointy toe pumps to show some skin.

...NOW GET ONE LIKE IT

An embellished dress worn by Kendall's sister Kylie to the collection's launch party in New York last week is on 'pre-sale' for £781.76.

However, it will only cost £299.99 when it goes on sale in H&M next week.

On top of that, a buyer will have to fork out more than £26 to have it shipped from America.

The Kardashians have helped build the buzz around the launch, with Kendall stepping out in a beaded jacket from the range at the Billboard Music Awards Back in May.

A seller in Finland is demanding almost £700 for the blazer modelled by Kendall, which will cost just £299.99 when the collection hits the shelves next week

Shoppers will be able to snap up an almost identical jacket for £299.99 from H&M stores and on its website.

Anyone who misses out may well go online in the hope of finding one for sale.

But they will find themselves faced with a price tag of almost £700, more than double the price they would have paid for the jacket upfront.

Model Jessica Hart stepped out in a stunning black, white and gold beaded tunic at the New York launch party.

Fans hoping to copy her look can get the dress for £399. But it's a different story when you search for the dress online.

One eBay seller has listed it with an asking price of more than £800, despite not being on sale for another week.
