Please please report these bags that the experts here have decided are counterfeits.
Let's get these listings off eBay so unsuspecting buyers don't get ripped off.

It's very simple, just click on the auction and at the bottom of the page click "report this auction" - simply follow the instructions.

Also a second reminder to check the "place for fakes" thread here in the shopping subforum. Several members (started by lovelygarments and phebe) post eBay item numbers daily of the recently listed obvious fakes.

It only takes a couple minutes and if eBay gets several reports on these listings, maybe they will be taken down faster.

Thanks in advance everyone!!

gro3602 - Some of the girls on the UK BBag Forum have started posting links in this thread to fake listings on the UK site - and we are reporting them from there too - the more people who report the better - and hopefully we can get some of this rubbish off eBay.

I don't believe that this is authentic, the tag font is wrong, there is a dash between Balenciaga and Paris instead of the . The numbers on the back of the tag look too big and too high up and the tassels are too wide. Both of my 04 Make-ups have really skinny, skinny tassels, about 2/16th of an inch wide.

Also the studs on the 04 were much flatter than the studs currently used (and pictured in your query). Also, upon closer inspection of the stud picture, has anyone seen those round circle indentations in the leather *around* the stud from the machine used to put them in the leather on an authentic Balenciaga???

Wait for the others to chime in, but this is my opinion!

I wish you well,

Bridget

Thanks a lot Bridget and Hmwe46!! I wanna cry now. It's good to know though.

Mim, I agree this is a counterfeit. Where did you get it?
I hope you can get your money back.
