eBay Hall of Shame: These are not Designer Handbags

[Zombiegirl]

Thank you everyone for your support!! Sorry to sound so defensive, but I work very very very hard at my business and also authenticate bags for people on the ebay Shoes and Accessories board. To be accused of a fake is the kiss of death for a seller of high end merchandise.

You should be 100% positive before you even hint at an accusation.

And, no, I am not BeenBurned--but this thread was brought to the attention of the ebay board :)

I agree with you totally and I am very sorry for what happened. We can remove that listing here if you like?

I am very sorry for the misunderstanding. I'm sure any member that posts here in the future will be 100% sure whether the bag is fake or not.

Did you sell this too? The quality of your pictures is not too good and that might be the reason people think they are fake.

Are you and BeenBurned the same person??

No, I'm BeenBurned and I am NOT the seller. But I am aware of the stellar reputation of the seller.

And another thing - unless you are 100% certain that a bag is fake, you shouldn't be reporting it. You lose credibility and you can ruin the reputation of an honest seller.

BeenBurned / piwykit: Lil did not say that bag was fake.. she actually only said "What is this"

Maybe not, but the tone and implication were there. And the followup comment on the Burberry implied that "here's another fake."

And in post #180, Jiselle states "I have reported once to ebay."

If that isn't accusing the seller of listing a fake, I don't know what is!

[BeenBurned]

Sorry, I posted before I finished reading the followup comments.

BeenBurned - People make mistakes. lilstrlett posted that in November of 2008. That is quite a while ago.

To vouch for this seller I should tell you all....this is who I bought my Chanel from, and it is authentic!

I am pretty sure this is fake, and the seller had no proof of authenticity.

Well I will say that it's ugly...As for being fake, I don't know Chanel very well.

Im New here. Hi everyone and I wouldnt be caught with a fake either. I cant believe how they get away with all of this? Im sorta know alot on Coach Bags... This Forum is get, I'll try to keep catching up to u guys

[MsMendez]

I dont know Channel too well neither but............ it doesn look like a fake. I saw a Coach in ebay with Plastic all over the handle.. lol. One things for sure Coach dont put plastic with tape on their handles.... :)

When I have ordered from Coach CS in the past my bags came sealed in plastic with plastic covered handles.

[MsMendez]

Im sorry...What I really meant that Channel does look like fake. Zombiegirl, did you order the coach bag or went to a store? Because I have the Factory Outlet and store close by, I have 3 purses and a wristlet and when I ask the supervisor (because I read an article on plastic wrappings on the bags handle) she said they never use plastic wrappings. They do however wrap them in tissue paper that smells soooooooo good lol :) But I dont know now...hmm.. thats odd right? Now u got me confused!

[MsMendez]

another thing..I cant be able to put my photo. When I put save changes the page just goes in blank and I put refresh and NADA

This is a cool thread. Helps people from being sucked into fakes.

But I can see the possibility for controversy...

They're selling Almas in multiple colors as well - the leather tag gives it away.
