I am not positive-that is definitely the right color and it looks good-are these your pix or are they a sellers' pix? if from a seller let the price and the feedback dictate, and if they take paypal, is it a short auction...sellers that dont accept paypal should be avoided because PP will refund you if you get a fake and the ones that sell knockoffs avoid PP like the plague-sorry for the long post but I learned A LOT in the last year about that unfortunate subject-got BURNT on a so-called DIOR saddle that I spent beaucoup bucks on:mad:

Well, I have to say I disagree on the Paypal thing. I do not take paypal unless it is someone I really know because there has been some fraud where the buyer will get the item and then gets Paypal to refund them also. Since Paypal backs the buyer so much they do not even contact the seller to make sure of the situation before they refund the buyer. So the seller is out the merchandise and the money. I can not afford to worry someone will do that to me so I don't accept paypal.

omg, speaking of paypal. . about a years ago I sold 2 designer (burberry pink check and nova check) bags on ebay. the buyer convinced me to sell both items with combined shipping. Well, I sent the items, then the seller tried to say they were fakes! I even sent copies of the Nordstroms reciepts. And the worst part was that paypal refunded them their money with the understanding that they would return my items to me with a tracking number. Well, they sent me one bag back and since she had a tracking number I was out one bag and 800ish$

Yeah, that's the bad thing about Paypal...there are some scammers out there that ruin it for everyone!

paypal doesn't see the side of the seller you girls are right. i sold a jacket on their a while ago and when the buyer got it they pointed out a button missing that was missing in the auction picture as well and paypal refunded them

Yeah, Paypal needs to see both sides of the story before they refund anyone!
