I bought that mousse off her, it's completely authentic and she's a wonderful, understanding seller.

Hi scarcici - had a look at the photos. These heatstamps are quite deep. Also, the serial tag is there - but can't read it!! The 'Chloe' on the zipper pulls is slightly shown at an angle, which isn't ideal. However, the bag looked ok on the original listing, but I'd wait for saz123 to give her opinion, as she does have an Edith (or maybe more than 1) and she can certainly compare these details for you.

Hi Saz, A close up of the inside zipper pull and the heat stamp is included in the 14 photos but if you can't see them let me know how to post here without the photos turning into thumbnails. I haven't been able to figure it out. As far as a serial number, I'm stumped. I've sold 16 Tracy's but never saw a serial number. I always include a manufacture code if there is one, but I never saw a serial number. Is this something new?

Hi there - nice to see you here!

I just looked again at the photos - the last photo, the inside pocket, where the 'Chloe' heatstamp is located on the leather surrounding the zip. It would have been good to have seen this straight, as its a little curved and of course as its black its more difficult to see. Its really hard to photograph the heatstamp black on black. The serial tag is actually readable if you enlarge the photo on the listing. Its the tag on the 10th photo - actually serial tag is wrong, its a date code in fact, and is found in the pocket (I trawled the Reference Library to make sure - then I re-checked the listing - should have done that first).

I have posted on the bag also -

Well, I think it will be this evening until she logs on. We are of course 1 hour behind you timewise in the UK and Ireland - so at the moment its only 14.30 - so you may have to wait a little while.

Hi Lescoy,

I always refer people here on every Chloe listing I post so I try to visit every once in a while to see if there is something else or something new I need to provide in my listings to help make it easier for the experts here to authenticate. Please always feel free to email me if any one of you respected posters here need something else to make your jobs easier. I appreciate the work that is done here and even though sometimes I want to chime in with sometimes, it is a conflict of interest for me to do so. Anyway, I can't always tell an authentic Chloe without actually holding it and looking at it up close with scrutiny.

You're so right about black being hard to photograph, even with the photocube and lights we use. I have a 1 MP photo of the heatstamp head-on but it takes to long for 1MB photos to load on the average eBay user's PC. 18% of our customers still use dial-up and that would take a day.

Exactly - you kind of 'lose the will to survive' when you are waiting on photos to load!! I know we have a very quick link - but many folks just don't I think that you have photographed everything which is necessary. With the black its more difficult - but I can't see anything amiss with the Tracy. Its actually one of only a few I've seen in the all black. Its good you take the time to list a lot of photos, so many sellers are now only listing two or three, and often some are just using stock photos. The only thing about your listings - you don't ship to the UK!!

Hi there - just had a look at the link. This is a horrible fakeHardware, leather, all wrong. Serial tag showing an 05 bag - clearly isn't - its fake. Sorry.

hi:) I won a paddy a few days bag but when i posted the listing here, it was confirmed fake. so i informed seller that i cannot pay for it since its fake and now he is threatening to report me to eBay. it is against ebay policy for someone to list something that is counterfeit right? i really dont know how to handle it. the seller wouldn't listen to me.
here is the listing. it is fake right?
