The seller has 18 FB, and if she's already "frustrated by questions concerning authenticity", she needs to go find something else to do besides sell on eBay. She's soon liable to have a stroke!
The photos IMHO do not scream fake, but she is definitely hiding something. Even the verbage in her auction is hostile... and does not state new, used, abused... nothing. Someone should look at the photos I have just so that IF IT IS FAKE, we can all REPORT HER and get her listing pulled! That would send her into orbit!!!

So we can not report her? What will happend if some innocent paid $1200 then get a fake one? and she only get $200 back? BTW, remember few month ago, I bought a 1st fake Chloe and Paypal took me 2 month for fighting and $70 still out of my pocket! We can report because she only have 3 photo???

We cannot report her unless have some proof that her bag is fake. There is not a rule on eBay about # of photos. I have some photos... but we need for one of the experts to look at them and see if it looks like a fake.

maybe she didn't want to send more photos for an easier bait and switch!

Ellie Mae - did you ever learn anything about this eBay seller? Obviously (I think he is "Mr. Smamo" and not "Mrs. Mamo" - LOL) he is an Italian since he calls the bags "borsas". I wonder if he has direct access to the factories or something?

You are correct, DIV... MR SMAMO... and I have never been able to get a response of any kind from him... all the feedback I see is IN ITALIAN, so I am guessing we need an interpretor. Beautiful bags, but I still wonder what the deal is w/ him covering up the barcode on the tags w/ his thumb.

I, too, am wondering about portero, and I didn't see any replies to this post. Anyone care to share her experience with us?

Thank you!

Thank you!

There have been some discussions about portero here and there.
If you will SEARCH TPF, use "portero" as your key word and check POSTS at the bottom left, you should find posts from other members about portero.

Looked at this link, I don't know it is authentic or not. But I do see the problem
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tab%3DWatching
I never own/ have any Betty, and I can not tell is it fake or not because I am not a expert, after click to view the larger photo, I see the Chloe "round tag" and the Nordstrom's bar code and the authenticate card with hologram. I though it is new season, so they came with this card. But i felt something not right, and I had called Peggy to veryfied it. Do you know what she said??? Guesssssssss...
She said :
1/ She didn't see any Betty in this year or last fall/winter
2/ The barcode I give it to her exactly the one from Nordstrom but it was belong another Chloe bag. I gave her the Chloe Round tag's number and the barcode number
7SS352-7S436 and the barcode is 429372-681257 is a Chloe satchel in brown color, which is from long time ago, and the price on the system is $400 :-) so it is definately not a BETTY IN PYTHON.
3. So, the authencity card is not belong to this bag too.

So now, the round tag and the authencity card is real but the bag have no serial number photo.

So there are have a winner for $812. LOL. We can not report it because it ended. I have sent an email to winner to let her/him know about it! But I still want to report it !

So watch out "islodit" agency on eBay!

I would never buy anything from isoldit. There's a very long thread on the eBay forum that is worth a read.
Paypal wants the fake chanel??????

Basically, paypal can request that SNAD items are returned to another location, not the original seller. Paypal sell the SNAD items to try and recup the money they refunded. The goods are sent to Liquidity Services, which then provides bulk lots of items for people to sell on eBay. isoldit buys these items and then resells them on ebay (Paypal wants the fake chanel??????)
It doesn't mean that all items that paypal sell on are fakes, it just means that there is a very very high chance of it. The thread is worth a read, it is interesting, but scary!

There's more in this article here: http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y08/m07/i02/s01, where liquidity services state that they cannot and do not authenticate items, so they might resell fakes. Pretty scary stuff!

Does anyone know if this website sells authentic bags?

I'm not sure, but this statement from their website worries me:

ww.DluxeBags.com does not claim to be an authorized agent or dealer of any of the designer labels sold on the DluxeBags.com website. We also disclaim any representation regarding its contents, including the merchandise. All references to designer labels, including Gucci®, Prada®, Fendi®, JP Tod's®, Mulberry®, Jimmy Choo® and Marc Jacobs®, are for identification purposes only.

You could always ask them for more photos to be sure. The ones on the website are really poor.

I just skimmed through that thread, and that is super scary and disturbing! WTH are they doing??!!! Especially in light of the lawsuits that eBay has lost. Thanks for sharing that!!!

I think "halzer" bought her baby ink paddy from this site and I think she was pretty happy with the bag, I was asking her about it cause there was a bag I was interested in.
My boyfriend is italian, so I could ask him to look at the feedback if anyone is really interested?
